Alan Dershowitz Says It’s Time To Drop Second Degree Murder Charges Against George Zimmerman in Death of Trayvon Martin

Self-defense vs. Second degree murder …

Famed Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz says, it is time for the special prosecutor, State Attorney Angela Corey, to drop the second degree murder charges against George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin if she wants to act ethically, lawfully and professionally. Dershowitz stated that if the evidence of the doctors reports of Zimmerman having a fractured nose, two black eyes, two lacerations on the back of his head and a back injury on the day after the fatal shooting are valid, prosecutors will have no choice but to drop the second degree murder charges.

There is, of course, no assurance that the special prosecutor handling the case, State Attorney Angela Corey, will do the right thing. Because until now, her actions have been anything but ethical, lawful and professional.

She was aware when she submitted an affidavit that it did not contain the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. She deliberately withheld evidence that supported Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense. The New York Times has reported that the police had “a full face picture” of Zimmerman, before paramedics treated him, that showed “a bloodied nose.” The prosecutor also had photographic evidence of bruises to the back of his head.

Alan Dershowitz was skeptical of the arrest affidavit from the outset that was first filed against Zimmerman charging him with second degree murder. Now even more evidence has come forward in document dumps that point more toward self-defense than murder. The shooting death of Trayvon Martin is not about “stand your ground”, it is probably more about just common “self-defense”.

Now there is much more extensive medical evidence that would tend to support Zimmerman’s version of events. This version, if true, would establish self-defense even if Zimmerman had improperly followed, harassed and provoked Martin.

A defendant, under Florida law, loses his “stand your ground” defense if he provoked the encounter — but he retains traditional self-defense if he reasonably believed his life was in danger and his only recourse was to employ deadly force.

With such injuries to Zimmerman and abrasions on the knuckles of Trayvon Martin along with the fact that no one really knows who instigated the altercation, how is any jury in all honesty going to find some one guilty of murder with so much reasonable doubt?

Add to the fact that initially the father of Trayvon Martin stated when asked by the police whether the voice on the 911 tape was that of his son … he said no. He would later change his answer when the strory became more political. Zmmerman’s dad and Martin’s mom said it was of their sons. However, an analysis by an FBI lab was not able to make an identification. More reasonable doubt.

The fathers of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman gave Sanford, Fla., police their opinions about the person who was crying for help in 911 tapes of the Feb. 26 confrontation that ended with the shooting death of 17-year-old Martin, according to documents released by the special prosecutor in the case.

Neither said the voice was that of 17-year-old Martin, the New York Times reports. Zimmerman’s father said he thought the voice belonged to his son. Martin’s mother, however, has said it was her son who was screaming on the tapes. An analysis by an FBI lab was not able to make an identification; nor was it able to determine whether Zimmerman uttered a racial slur while pursuing Martin, whom he considered to be suspicious.

Question: If Trayvon Martin was white and/or George Zimmerman was black, would anyone in the MSM, All Sharpton, Jesse Jackson or the NBPP have ever covered or been involved this case?

Tea Party Candidate Richard Mourdock Defeats 6 Term Indiana Republican Senator Richard Lugar in Landslide

Those that had previously stated that the Tea Party was a fad might want to rethink those foolish statement … Another RINO bites the political dust.

Last night in the Indiana Republican primaries, Tea Party candidate Richard Murdock defeated 6 term US Senator Richard Lugar in a landslide. The 80 year old, 6 term Richard Lugar was soundly defeated, no Lugar was routed by State Treasurer Richard Murdock by nearly 20%. Of course the liberal MSM will echo the chorus of this will further contribute to the lack of bi-partisanship in DC and the GOP has lurched to the right. However, the MSM was deafly silent when “Blue Dog” Democrats were voted out in the primaries in PA as the Democrats chose more left leaning candidate. Imagine that?

In typical, entitled, establishment candidate form Lugar criticizing the partisan environment, code for the Tea Party and anyone who dare challenge the RINO establishment. Sorry, but some of you Republican fossils are directly to blame for the predicament that we find ourselves in today and your chumming up to the socialist, failed economic agenda and policies of Barack Obama is hardly going to win anyone reelection. Sorry, as a Republican you do not get to vote for Obama’s stimulus and remotely think you stand a chance of being voted back to office by “We the People”. When you are dubbed Barack Obama’s favorite Republican, this Hoosier upset was pretty much a sure thing.

The truth is that the headwinds in this race were abundantly apparent long before Richard Mourdock announced his candidacy. One does not highlight such headwinds publically when one is waging a campaign. But I knew that I would face an extremely strong anti-incumbent mood following a recession. I knew that my work with then-Senator Barack Obama would be used against me, even if our relationship were overhyped. I also knew from the races in 2010 that I was a likely target of Club for Growth, FreedomWorks and other Super Pacs dedicated to defeating at least one Republican as a purification exercise to enhance their influence over other Republican legislators.

A note to all politicians, not just Lugar and other non-vertebrae Republicans, the American people are tired of the establishment. Personally, I believe in term limits and no politician should ever be allowed to be in office 36 years. That is never what out Founding Fathers envisioned. Last nights vote should be a reminder to the GOP by We the People, the US Senate is not the US Supreme Court. You are not elected for life. You do not get to leave when you feel like it and not represent the people. You serve at our will, not the other way around.

Richard Mourdock will face Democrat Rep. Joe Donnelly in November.

23 Year Old Fort Bragg Soldier Kelli Bordeaux Missing Since 4/14/12 after Leaving the Froggy Bottoms Bar in Fayetteville, NC … POI Registered Sex Offender Questioned

23 year old Pfc. Kelli Marie Bordeaux goes missing after leaving Fayetteville bar early Saturday morning, April 14, 2012. Kelli Bordeaux was last seen leaving the Froggy Bottoms at 6326 Ramsey St. around 1:20 AM. The police believe her to be in danger. Her sister Olivia Cox said she last spoke with her sister via text messages Friday night and that all seemed well. Kelli Bordeaux is described as 5 feet 1 inch tall and 102 pounds with blonde hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a pink tube top with spaghetti straps and black shorts.

Olivia Cox pleaded for the safe return of her younger sister, a Fort Bragg soldier who has been missing since Saturday.

Fayetteville police say Pfc. Kelli Marie Bordeaux, 23, was last seen leaving Froggy Bottoms at 6326 Ramsey St. around 1:20 a.m. Police believe her to be in danger.

“Being a soldier for Kelli isn’t something she would jeopardize,” Cox told reporters during a press conference Tuesday night. “Kelli is not a soldier that would go AWOL.”

Bordeaux, a native of St. Cloud, Fla., is assigned as a health service specialist with the 601st Area Support Medical Company, 261st Multifunctional Medical Battalion, 44th Medical Brigade.

Kelli Bordeaux was last spotted leaving a bar, Froggy Bottoms, in nearby Fayetteville about 1:30 am on Saturday. She was given a ride home by a bar employee. However, he is not considered a suspect. Hmm, oh really? Who thinks that this is a red flag?

“Supposedly when the guy that was giving her a ride home, was taking her to her apartment, he got to her apartment and something spooked her so … she said, ‘No, no, no just let me out here,’ instead of taking her like around the corner to her apartment,” her mother, Johnna Henson, told wptv.com. “I don’t understand that.”

Missing Soldier ‘may be in danger according to police.

FACEBOOK - Kelli Bordeaux

UPDATE I: Police question person of interest in search for missing Fort Bragg soldier Kelli Bordeaux. Oh yeah, as originally reported that the indovidual who drove Kelli Bordeaux home was not a suspect or POI, wrong. As it turns out, 25 year old Nicholas Holbert, the man who drove her home is a registered sex offender. Holbert was convicted in 2003 of indecent liberties with a 5-year-old child. NICE.

North Carolina police are questioning a registered sex offender and bar hand in their search for a missing Fort Bragg soldier last seen leaving a nightclub.

Pfc. Kelli Bordeaux, a 23-year-old combat medic with the 44th Medical Brigade, disappeared early Saturday after leaving the Froggy Bottoms bar in Fayetteville.

On Wednesday, authorities interviewed 25-year-old Nicholas Holbert, a registered sex offender who works at the bar and who said he drove Bordeaux home the night she disappeared

Fayetteville Police Public Information Officer Gavin MacRoberts said, based on information gathered during the investigation, detectives believe she may be in danger and are asking for anyone who may have seen her to contact Detective Locklear with the Fayetteville Police Department at (910) 587-3254 or CrimeStoppers at (910) 483-TIPS (8477).
