DOJ & Eric Holder Puts ‘Hold’ on Trayvon Martin Trial Evidence, Including George Zimmerman’s Gun … Eventhough Florida Law Says it Must Be Returned

The DOJ, Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama are going to play the race card until the end.

In a sign that the Obama Administration is not going to let this go and continue to fan the flames of racism and make promises that they cannot deliver on, the Department of Justice placed an evidence hold on the George Zimmerman murder trial evidence and most notably the gun that was used in the “self-defense” shooting death of Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman was acquitted of murder and manslaughter by a jury of his peers and was found “not guilty” last week. So why can’t George Zimmerman be given his gun back? According to Florida state law, he has committed no crime, has a permit to carry and should be entitled to his property back. On top of that, if the DOJ ever decided to bring a case against Zimmerman, one in which they have no, none, nil, nada evidence that Zimmerman ever acted in a racist manner, the DOJ would be charging him with violating Trayvon Martin’s civil rights, not causing his death. So for what purpose would the gun be needed? Only a meager 21% actually believe that the DOJ should charge George Zimmerman with a hate crime.

Ok Eric, Let’s Tea Party Zimmerman …

The U.S. Department of Justice, overseen by Attorney General Eric Holder, has ordered the Sanford, Florida police department to keep possession of all the evidence from George Zimmerman’s second-degree murder trial – including the exonerated neighborhood watch volunteer’s gun.

Sanford police confirmed on Thursday that the DOJ asked the agency not to return any pieces of evidence to their owners. Zimmerman was expected to get his firearm back by month’s end.

The development is a sign that the criminal section of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division is seriously investigating Zimmerman to determine if federal civil rights charges should be filed.

WESH-TV in Orlando reported Thursday afternoon that police had confirmed the evidence ‘hold,’ meaning that everything related to the trial, from Zimmerman’s gun to the Skittles and iced tea Martin was carrying when the pair’s altercation began, will remain in the hands of law enforcement.

So why keep Zimmerman’s gun? It just seems like more vindictive actions that this administration has been known for. Protein Wisdom makes a great comparison in saying that they believe that the DOJ will never charge Zimmerman; however, it reeks of the IRS holding up Tea Party and conservative groups non-profit applications whereas a hold and “other enemies of the Obama regime tied up for months in outrageous red tape, so the Justice Department can drag Zimmerman and his family through months of harassment until they say “Oh, never-mind.” Amen brother.

In the wake of the not guilty jury verdict, many irresponsible black leaders, athletes, celebrities, politicians and twitter cowards have made threats against George Zimmerman and his family. Now more than ever, Zimmerman probably needs that gun for protection. Just curious, what happens if something bad happens to George Zimmerman after all this hysteria has been ginned up by the so-called Civil Rights leaders of our times? Will Eric Holder and the DOJ have blood on their hands?

Former NBA Star Charles Barkley Comments On George Zimmerman Murder Trial: “I Agree With The Verdict” … “There are a lot of black people who are racist”

WOW, the Round Mound of Rebound, Charles Barkley, says that the agrees with the George Zimmerman verdict.

Who knew that NBA Hall of Famer, Charles Barkley, would be the voice of reason, sanity and well rationed thought in the wake of the George Zimmerman murder trail verdict where a jury found him not guilty. In an interview with CNBC and Maria Bartiroma, Barkley stated that he “agreed with the verdict. Barkley then said,  “I think sometimes when people talk about racism, they say only white people are racist. There are a lot of black people who are racist.” Charles basically blamed both Martin and Zimmerman for the incident and called it a bad situation. He said it was wrong for Zimmerman to follow Trayvon Marin, but then Barkley stated that he thought “Trayvon Martin, God rest his soul, I think he did flip the switch and started beating the hell out of Mr. Zimmerman.” That is probably pretty accurate to what the evidence showed in the Zimmerman murder trial and the reason why the jury found George Zimmerman not guilty.

Real Clear Politics:

CHARLES BARKLEY: Well, I agreed with the verdict. I feel sorry that young kid got killed. But they didn’t have enough evidence to charge him. Something clearly went wrong that night. Clearly something went wrong. I feel bad for anybody who loses a kid, but if you looked at the case and you don’t make it — there was some racial profiling, no question about it. But something happened that changed the dynamic of that night, and I know -- that’s probably not a popular opinion among most people but just looking at the evidence I agreed with the verdict.

I just feel bad because I don’t like when race gets out in the media because I don’t think the media has a pure heart, as I call it. There are very few people have a pure heart when it comes to race. Racism is wrong in any, shape, form — a lot of black people are racist too. I think sometimes when people talk about racism, they say only white people are racist. There are a lot of black people who are racist. I don’t like when it gets out there in the media because I don’t think the media has clean hands.

MARIA BARTIROMO, CNBC: I’m glad you made that point.

BARKLEY: Obviously I feel sorry that young kid got killed but just judging by the evidence, I don’t think that guy should have went to jail the rest of his life. Something happened bad that night, obviously.

I have always been a Charles Barkley fan and loved him when he played with the Philadelphia 76ers. Although there are many times that I do not agree with Barkley’s opinions, the two thing that I respect the hell out of when it comes to Sir Charles is his honestly and his I don’t give a damn, non-PC attitude of just saying it like he feels. Charles Barkley, unlike the so-called black leaders in the US like Sharpton and Jackson is 100% correct in his analysis of the George Zimmerman murder trial … they [the prosecution] did not have enough evidence to charge him.

Post George Zimmerman Murder Trial … Rachel Jeantel Says She Thinks Trayvon Martin Threw The First Punch, HUH, Wouldn’t that be Self-Defense?

Didn’t  Rachel Jeantel just make the justification for self-defense?

In an interview with the HUFFPO,  Rachel Jeantel said that she believed that Trayvon Martin hit first. Wait a minutes, hold the phone, she said what? So Trayvon, the media contrived innocent choir boy threw the first punch according to Rachel Jeantel? Go figure. So doesn’t that make this self defense at that point and would have taken murder off the table from the outset? What is more confounding about this is that wouldn’t the prosecution have known this when interviewing the witness? If they knew that their star witness thought that Trayvon Martin threw the first punch, how did they charge George Zimmerman with second degree murder?

Watch the VIDEO at the HUFFPO, is it any wonder how the prosecution’s case went down in flames when this was their star witness that was going to make their case against Zimmerman. UNREAL.

Trayvon Martin’s friend and George Zimmerman trial witness, Rachel Jeantel recently sat down with HuffPost Live’s Marc Lamont Hill during a candid interview to discuss her perception on the confrontation between the former neighborhood watchman and the late 17-year-old.

One of the key points of contention between the prosecution and defense during the trial of Zimmerman, who was acquitted of second-degree murder after killing the unarmed teen, was the question of who initiated the physical confrontation between the two.

Jeantel expounded on her thoughts on what occurred when Zimmerman and Martin met face to face. “I believe Trayvon hit first,” she said. She went on to describe how she believed that Trayvon throwing the first punch was likely caused by Zimmerman attempting to grab and detain Martin.

George Zimmerman Murder Trial Alternate Juror E54 Interview … “I Supported the Verdict”

Juror E54, an alternate juror who did not deliberate and come up with the jury verdict of “not guilty” in the George Zimmerman murder trial in death of Trayvon Martin was interviewed with Fox News Orlando., FL affiliate. The juror stated that he was proud of the female jurors for coming up with the verdict they did. He was proud of them for looking at all the evidence and coming up with the verdict they did.

FOX 35′s Valerie Boey had an opportunity to interview one of the four alternate jurors in the George Zimmerman murder trial.

“I supported the verdict,” said Juror E54.  “I agree with it.”

As a condition of the interview, E54 asked that we not reveal his face or use his name.

He expressed disappointment that he was not one of the six people who ultimately had a chance to discuss all of the evidence in the case and decide on a verdict.   Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

“I think the things that I focused on when I was doing my own deliberation was the non-emergency phone call. I did pick up on some things out of Rachel Jeantel’s testimony, Trayvon Martin’s phone records or her phone records and when they were talking,” he said.
