Grand jury assembling in civil-rights case involving George Zimmerman

[Baitball Blogger]

A federal grand jury will meet in downtown Orlando Wednesday to hear testimony about whether Trayvon Martin's civil rights were violated when Neighborhood Watch volunteer George Zimmerman shot him in the chest, according to court paperwork.

A U.S. Department of Justice attorney from Washington, D.C., Mark Blumberg, has issued at least one subpoena for Wednesday in the case.

Blumberg would not comment on the grand jury session, but the federal panel is to meet at 9 a.m. at the federal courts building on Central Avenue in downtown Orlando to hear evidence in the case.

It's not clear how many witnesses have been ordered to appear, but at least one, Frank Taaffe, Zimmerman's former friend and longtime defender, has been.

2. I stopped expecting justice from Central Florida.

The only thing we can do is document the number of times that they fail to do the decent thing, and shame them before the eyes of the nation.

3. Trayvon Martin was murdered in cold blood. So, yeah, his civil rights were

violated.

He was lynched by a gun-crazed Rambo wanna-be. And then lynched again in the court of public opinion which asserts wearing a hoodie and walking alone at night are legitimate grounds for a lynching.

Hi BB, how are you doing way across the country from me?

7. Hey, uppity.

I'm doing just fine. Luckily I'm healing fast after pulling a muscle in my back. My grandmother used to call it "un viento." I have no idea how the wind is connected with pulling muscles, but I remember she was always cautioning us not to exert ourselves. 'cuz, when you pull a muscle, you catch the wind.

8. Here's hoping

that he never keeps another penny from his so-called 'paintings' that are snapped up by collectors of murderer memorabilia.
