Judge unseals file in Trayvon Martin murder case

Source: Chicogo Tribune/Orlando Sentinel

George Zimmerman was released early Monday morning from the Seminole County jail. And hours later, the judge in the case unsealed the court file, making a small portion of information about the case public.

Still, the bulk of information about the case – prosecution records – remain a secret.

O'Mara also demanded all the evidence the state has gathered against his client, something routine in criminal cases. What's important in this filing, though, is the likely delivery date: this Friday.

In a typical case, that would mean that as of Friday, all the evidence would be released to the public as well as O'Mara, for example, crime scene photos, Trayvon's phone records, his autopsy results.

But O'Mara and Special Prosecutor Angela Corey have made it clear they want to keep some if not all of those things a secret.

this case and the DU story of black family getting arrested going into their own home shows me this country is more racist everyday with fox news, limbaugh and the rest of that ilk cheering on the zimclones to shoot, murder, arrest black people indiscriminately for the crime of being black skinned in a racist culture.

Bill Hicks predicted this a long time ago. The rackets and other goofballs are screaming louder and becoming more blatant because their beliefs are becoming more irrelevant.
