George Zimmerman Wants Damaging Evidence Sealed In Trayvon Martin Case

George Zimmerman is following the lead of prosecutors in his pending case for the murder of Trayon Martin, by requesting that certain evidence in his trial be kept under wraps. Zimmerman’s lawyer, Mark O’Mara, filed a motion last week requesting that his client’s text messages, emails and journal entries not be released to the public, until they can be reviewed by both sides… Continue

Pretty In Pinkgate: Is Duckie Gay? Jon Cryer Responds

Earlier this week, John Hughes muse (and recent Reddit queen ) Molly Ringwald set the record straight with Out.com on the sexuality of her Pretty in Pink character Andie’s lovesick BFF, Duckie: ““Duckie doesn’t know he’s gay. I think he loves Andie in the way that [my gay best friend] always loved me.” To which the world breathed a knowing sigh. ” Of course Duckie is gay!” Thought everyone. Well, everyone except for, you know, Jon Cryer . A day after Ringwald dropped the Duckie bomb, the Two and a Half Men star chimed in with an objection to Zap2It , admitting that the Duckman was easily prone to such speculation. That said, if anyone would know, it’d be Cryer… right? “I respectfully disagree. I want to stand up for all the slightly effeminate dorks that are actually heterosexual. Just cause the gaydar is going off, doesn’t mean your instruments aren’t faulty. I’ve had to live with that, and that’s okay.” Still, I’m with Ringwald when it comes to Duckie’s romantic prospects with Andie and the alternate ending in which she chooses her squirrelly bestie over pretty boy Andrew McCarthy. She remembered the Duckie ending feeling not quite right: That ending fell so flat — it bombed at all the screenings. I didn’t realize it then — I just knew that my character shouldn’t end up with him, because we didn’t have that sort of chemistry. If John was here now, and I could talk to him, I think that he would completely acknowledge that. That said, how could you not love a boy who sings you Otis Redding? [via Zap2It ]

The Watch Teaser: Vince Vaughn Helps Debut New, Improved Marketing Push

Man, tip your cap to the marketing crew at 20th Century Fox, which redirected one of 2012’s most unfortunate current-events overlaps into a completely revised angle that it probably should have pursued in the first place. Behold: the new and improved teaser for The Watch , complete with introduction by star Vince Vaughn. The actor unveiled the package last night during a surprise drop-in on Conan , where the host’s mock protest against unannounced guest appearances gave way to exactly that — just the thing the retitled summer comedy (n

GTFOHWTBS: New York Daily News D-Bag Writer Alan Dershowitz Says George Zimmerman Had Every Right To Kill Trayvon Martin!

Wait, what?!?! Alan Dershowitz Says George Zimmerman Had A Right To Kill Trayvon Martin A medical report by George Zimmerman’s doctor has disclosed that Zimmerman had 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. If this evidence turns out to be valid, the prosecutor will have no choice but to drop the second-degree murder charge against Zimmerman — if she wants to act ethically, lawfully and professionally. 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. But none of this was included in any affidavit. 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. Thus, if Zimmerman verbally provoked Martin, but Martin then got on top of Zimmerman and banged his head into the ground, broke his nose, bloodied his eyes and persisted in attacking Zimmerman — and if Zimmerman couldn’t protect himself from further attack except by shooting Martin — he would have the right to do that. (The prosecution has already admitted that it has no evidence that Zimmerman started the actual fight.) Wish we could say we are surprised, but we already know that there are a bunch of people that think that it’s cool for some scary-a$$ 28 year-old man to shoot a 17 year-old. How are you the captain of the neighborhood watch and you can’t even handle a skinny teenager?? SMFH Images via AP Source

Trayvon Martin Autopsy Report Released; Family Slams "Strategic" Leaks in George Zimmerman Case

The attorney for Trayvon Martin’s family claims there have been strategic leaks of records in the case intended to benefit defendant George Zimmerman. Attorney Benjamin Crump said on Wednesday he wants “full transparency” in the case, and called for all the police files on the subject to be released. After several news outlets were given access to a sealed medical examiner’s report on Martin and a police report on Zimmerman, Crump was incensed. “It was leaked for a beneficial purpose, certainly to help George Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense,” he said. “This report needs to be vetted with a keen eye.” “Look at this in the full context. George Zimmerman made the decision to get out of his car, profile Trayvon Martin, pursue Trayvon Martin and confront him.” According to NBC News, the autopsy on the slain 17-year-old says that Martin was killed by a single “penetrating gunshot wound to the chest” Feb. 26. Meanwhile, medical records leaked to ABC News showed Zimmerman likely suffered a broken nose, black eyes and was bleeding from the back of head . His lawyer, Mark O’Mara, said he may seek a dismissal of the second-degree murder charge against his client under Florida’s “stand your ground” law. Zimmerman pleaded not guilty last week and is free on bond.

For Discussion: Official Autopsy Finds Trayvon Martin Had Drugs In System And Zimmerman Fired From A Close Range, Will This Change How You View This Case?

Trayvon Martin , the 17-year-old who was shot and killed by a neighborhood watchman George Zimmnerman had the drug THC in his system the night of this death , according to new reports: The revelation came as prosecutors in the case prepared to release to the public hundreds of pages of new evidence along with videos and crime scene photos. Martin’s death sparked public outrage after police released Martin’s shooter, George Zimmerman, without any criminal charges for the killing. Zimmerman, 28, is a multi-racial Hispanic man who shot the black high school junior at close range on Feb. 26, and claimed self-defense, though Martin was unarmed. Zimmerman was later charged with second-degree murder, and the killing provoked widespread debate about racial profiling The autopsy report shows traces of the drug THC, which is found in “kush”, in Martin’s blood and urine. The autopsy also shows that Zimmerman shot Martin from a distance of between 1 inch and 18 inches away, bolstering Zimmerman’s claim that he shot Martin during a struggle that landed Zimmerman on his back, Martin straddling him and banging Zimmerman’s head on the ground. Martin’s autopsy report also revealed that there was a quarter-inch by half-inch abrasion on the left fourth finger of Martin, another indication of a possible struggle. The teen, who lived in Miami, was in Sanford while serving a suspension for a bag of maryjane being discovered in his possession. Slowly but surely the facts are starting to come out about this tragic night. Not only did the official autopsy find that drugs were found in Trayvon’s system, it’s also come to light that Zimmerman’s fatal bullet was fired from within a very close distance, which suggests that his claims of the night may be withstanding. With all these damning facts coming to surface today, will this change public opinion of how this case is viewed? Source
