Who is Representing Trayvon Martin?

"Jury selection is the most important phase in the trial of a criminal complaint. The outcomes in all trials have been decided after opening statements. This is especially true in Florida v. Zimmerman. It is not a "public trial" as is guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment because the petit jury is anonymous.




Like in politics, no one represents Blacks in the criminal justice system. Instead of representation, Blacks are the victims of conspiracies. The Democratic and Republican parties are an example. The prosecutors for Florida and the defense attorneys for Zimmerman is another example of a conspiracy. No one is speaking for Trayvon Martin. What happened to the adversarial relationship?

In criminal trials, the prosecution should have the burden of proof. This never happens when the victim is Black and the defendant is white. In Florida v. Zimmerman, the prosecution has made space in its side of the case for the defense to tell its story without fear of impeachment. This means that there is only one side to the murder of Trayvon Martin. The prosecution "vouched" for Zimmerman's story. It is not permitted to impeach any of its witnesses. This is a sanctuary for liars.


Howard Beach is the paradigm for racially-motivated cases. It was the first, successful prosecution of white defendants in a racially-motivated case. I was a "private attorney general" and not a "family attorney" or an "ambulance chaser". I introduced "special prosecutor" into the legal jargon of racially-motivated cases. It meant an unelected attorney. The prosecutor in Florida v. Zimmerman is an elected official. I received much flak for "non-cooperation with evil" but at the end of the day, white defendants went to prison.


I will provide "nuts and bolts" to how the prosecution and the defense conspired to fix the outcome in Florida v. Zimmerman. This will be your "T.V. Guide" for the remainder of the trial.

da joke iss dat manee blakk ar repeatinn da mantra da zimmerman was overcharged dat y imm was natt canvicted widd out challenginn da argument


Alton Maddox wrote inn a letter to da judge

"The charge of murder in the second degree against Zimmerman suggests that Florida has under charged him and it flies in the face of evidence that Zimmerman had "profiled" Trayvon Martin before he fatally shot him. Profiling supports a claim of premeditated murder. This homicide is murder in the first degree and not murder in the second degree."


"The body of Trayvon Martin should be exhumed and it should be examined by an independent and credible pathologist. History has shown that pathologists have "doctored" autopsy reports."

Five Things You Didn’t Know About Sanford’s Racist Past

Suburban town’s history places Trayvon Martin tragedy among horrid record of racism

There’s a reason why the chapters on slavery in most high school textbooks are short -- it's rarely an easy subject to revisit for descendents.

In Sanford, Fla., the suburban town that is now infamous for allegedly mishandling the investigation of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin’s shooting death, racial tensions seemed to have always bubbled just below the surface.

A Mother Jones report by Adam Weinstein detailed several reasons why this is. Here are five of them:

1. Sanford’s founder wanted to ship freed blacks back to Africa

Henry Shelton Sanford established the town in the 1870s, conceiving it as a citrus hub. Although the industry never really took off there, Sanford had established a trade relationship with Belgium, which controlled the African territory of Congo. Sanford advocated sending freed African American slaves to rid white residents of the “gathering electricity from that black cloud spreading over the Southern states," as the founder is on record for saying.

2. Racial tensions swelled after town merged with black enclave

There was no “back-to-Congo movement,” Weinstein wrote. A merger with a neighboring black community, Goldsborough, created new tensions. That community’s black officials – the mayor, the Council people, the postmistress, the jailers and the marshal – were not given municipal jobs to replace the ones they lost.

3. Racists chased a young Jackie Robison out of town

“Before he broke Major League Baseball's race barrier in 1947, Robinson played for a Dodgers farm team in Sanford,” Weinstein wrote. White residents didn’t like that one bit and violently demanded the mayor remove Robinson from the town team. The Robinson family was “run out of Sanford,” fearing violence, Robinson’s daughter recently told The Nation.

4. Town officials resisted integration of public accommodations

In addition to Sanford’s record for clinging to barbaric laws well into the 1980s, town officials resisted racial integration of public facilities. Instead of opening public pools to all residents, whites and blacks, town officials closed them altogether, according to archived newspaper clippings.

5. Police have failed at proper investigations before

The initial (and lackluster) investigation of Trayvon Martin’s death is hardly the first occasion when local police officials seemed to drop the ball. In 2006, two off duty security guards, one the son of a Sanford cop, “killed a black teen with a gunshot in his back. Even though they admitted to never identifying themselves, the guards were released without charges,” Weinstein wrote. In 2010, the son of a Sanford PD lieutenant was videotaped sucker-punching a homeless black man. Officers on the scene released him without charges.

The Racist History of Sanford, Florida

on March 4, 1946, it was Lacy who accompanied Robinson to the small ballpark in Sanford, Florida. Robinson had been signed by the Dodgers a month earlier – breaking baseball’s color barrier – and he was traveling for spring training with the Dodgers minor league team the Montreal Royals during a tour of the Deep South.

Of course, Robinson’s presence on the team as they traveled through the South was wrought with great peril for him.

When Robinson and Lacy approached the stadium by car that evening a large crowd of Sanford’s White citizens had gathered – some of them members of the Ku Klux Klan, which was very active in that region of the state – and they were determined to keep Robinson out of “their” ballpark.

Further, they were determined to run Robinson out of Sanford one way or another.
Some of those White members of the community met with the mayor of Sanford and demanded Robinson be forced out of town. As a result, Sanford city officials informed the Royals, Black and White ballplayers would not be allowed on the same playing field together.

But, according to Mr. Lacy, Robinson, the future Hall-of-Famer was undeterred by the hostile throng gathered at the stadium. The two drove to the back of the ballpark and entered the field through a plank in the outfield fence.

It’s unclear whether or not Robinson actually played in that game, but what was abundantly clear is that racial oppression was as heavy in the air of Sanford as the infamous humidity; Robinson exited Sanford that night by order of Dodgers owner Branch Rickey.

In 2012, more than 70 years later Sanford still proves to be a racial powder keg.

As the world focuses on Sanford, in the wake of Trayvon Martin’s murder it has been revealed the Klan allegedly is still active there. The police department has been accused of corruption and blatant discrimination against Sanford’s citizens of color including dubious investigations by the department in the murder of at least three other Black men in recent years.

But, the murder of another Black man and his wife in Sanford – five years after Jackie Robinson was run out of town – and decades before the Trayvon Martin tragedy – shook the Black community of Central Florida to its core.

Harry Tyson Moore was the founder of the first branch of the NAACP in Seminole County, Fla., the county Sanford is located in. Moore, who was a teacher worked tirelessly for equal pay for Black teachers in public schools, filed lawsuits against voter registration barriers for Blacks, investigated lynchings and eventually became the state secretary for the Florida chapter of the NAACP.

From 1944 to 1950 Moore’s work led to an increase in Black voter registration in Florida to 31 percent of those eligible to vote, higher than any other Southern state.

Moore was a bold “race man,” and because of his relentless methods he was dangerous in the eyes of many in the White community.

So much so that on Christmas night of 1951, the home of Moore and his wife Harriette Vyda Simms Moore was fire bombed. It was the couple’s 25th wedding anniversary. Moore died on his way to a Sanford hospital and his wife died 9 days later of her injuries.

After their deaths, firebombing became a popular method of White racist intimidation in the South.

No one was ever indicted in their murders. However, in 2006 the state of Florida concluded the Moore’s were murdered as a result of a conspiracy by the Central Florida Ku Klux Klan.

Decades after Robinson and Lacy’s precarious racial encounter and the assassination of Harry Moore and his wife, Sanford’s legacy of intolerance and racial animus are alive and well.

The city of Sanford was named for a man with racist views who helped bring about carnage in the Congo.


The Florida town where Trayvon Martin met his death bears the name of its founder, a failed orange grower turned lobbyist who, in the 19th century, abetted a Belgian king’s bloody colonial adventure in the Congo that left millions of Africans dead.

Henry Sanford was also an ardent proponent of sending black Americans to Africa.

“The ground to draw the gathering electricity from the black cloud spreading over the southern states,” he termed it.

The Congo, Sanford said, would encourage “the enterprise and ambition of our colored people in more congenial fields than politics.”

Despite such sentiments, the city still proudly bears his name. Sanford, the city, honors Sanford, the man, by maintaining a library and museum in his memory, commemorating a racist who came to Florida as the sole heir of a hugely successful brass-tacks manufacturer in Connecticut.

Opening Statements: Florida v. Zimmerman


Throughout my legal career, I have often said that a trial is often won immediately after pre-trial publicity, jury selection and opening statements. The “trial” is unimportant. Most lawyers take the wrong, legal approach. This invariably spells doom for Black defendants. Most Black defendants will tell you that they were convicted because of ineffective assistance of counsel.

On the other hand, whites put a lot of stock in the selection and election of district attorneys who enjoy prosecutorial discretion.



On Monday, Florida v. Zimmerman started with opening statements. Usually, a prosecutor reads the indictment to the jury in its opening statement to survive a motion for failure to state a cause of action. Commentators wrongfully define an opening statement as only a “road map”. This definition is insufficient.

The defense may make an opening statement. This happened in Florida v. Zimmerman. In fact, the defense exploited the opening statement and converted it into a closing statement. This allowed the defense to not only make unsubstantiated arguments to the jury but to also put inadmissible evidence before the jury to the prejudice of the prosecution.


The indictment is the most important document in a “kangaroo trial”. All arguments should flow from it. In Florida v. Zimmerman, it was never mentioned in opening statements. Instead, the prosecution focused on “profanity” and the defense focused on a “joke”.

Yup a couple of the jurors that had been removed after challenges were put back.

tink pon diss moaslee awl oyinbo jury? iss da a jury aff trayvon peer?

The law states that the defendant must be judged by a jury of HIS peers...not the victim.....that law needs to change.

wan hispanic ooman pon da jury? jury aff zimmerman peer?

Nope....needed more Hispanic representation.

no black pon de jury?

That is problematic as racial dynamics do play into verdicts. Frankly they need a 12 person jury....4 whites, 4 hispanics, 4 Blacks.

y onlee a six parsan petite jury? was dat to xxclude blakks peeps.

Good question. This is the first I have heard of a 6 person jury. Why didn't the prosecution object?

oyinbo judge woo rushed da trial

The whole thing was a sham. The murder scene was not protected and inspected closely. Few immediate neighbors were interrogated. Zimmerman's word was accepted without question, even though someone had died, and he had disregarded a direct order from the police to stop following the youth and to stay in his truck . It wasn't until the uproar went national, that Zimmerman was arrested 45 days after the fact. No blood samples from the living Zimmerman were taken, although they managed to test the blood of the deceased child. The prosecutor did not object to the negative objectification of Rachel Jeantel, even though it was proven that she was the last person to talk to Trayvon. Everything about the investigation and trial were FUBAR.
