The man who warned George Zimmerman’s defense attorneys that the Florida prosecutor was illegally hiding evidence that might exonerate Zimmerman now says he’s going to sue his former boss.
The exclusive expose’ in The Drudge Report says Ben Kruidbos will sue Florida State Attorney Angela Corey under the whistleblower act. Kruidbos testified under oath that Zimmerman’s prosecutors were personally violating Zimmerman’s rights by hiding exculpatory evidence that should have been turned over to Zimmerman’s legal team. ‘Discovery’ of evidence isn’t optional. It’s mandatory. To violate such basic legal mandates is to discover what the word ‘disbarment’ means.
After Kruidbos testified on behalf of Zimmerman, he was fired by his boss, State Attorney Angela Corey.
The ramifications of the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case will be long-lasting.
A young man is dead, and that certainly is a massive tragedy. But another man’s life was ruined with all the racial allegations connected with the ‘murder’ of another man, and possibly ruined by a vengeful prosecutor who went to the bar with no evidence.
My big question is, should the prosecutor have charged Zimmerman in the first place? I’ll speak to some of the reasons he should not have, but first let’s look at a case of prosecutorial misconduct that happened at Duke University. Yes, the Duke Lacrosse team.
There was zero evidence of a rape of two strippers hired by the lacrosse team. Yet Durham County prosecutor Mike Niphong continued pushing, publicly calling it a gang rape, and making other outrageous statements about the alleged guilt of the lacrosse players. The players were later exonerated, Niphong lost his job as a prosecutor, and then was stripped of his law license by the North Carolina Bar Association.
Did justice prevail?
But let’s toss in one final bit of knowledge in the Trayvon Martin case. Everyone involved in the case knows that Florida has one of the strongest ‘stand-your-ground’ laws in the country. All you have to do to pull the trigger is to “reasonably believe that you were facing death or great bodily harm.”
Zimmerman had injuries to his face and the back of his head. If he didn’t believe he was facing great bodily harm, he would have been an idiot.
The prosecutor had to prove Zimmerman did not have reason to have such fear. Yet his star witness was a perjurer and was still allowed to testify. The standard for the jury is “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Did the prosecutor think he could prove BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that Zimmerman was not afraid of bodily harm?
There are still some interesting things left to come. From the beginning, the national media and many public figures have tried to exploit every possible racial trigger. It’s impossible to predict how the public will react once the final outcome is announced.
George Zimmerman
I guarantee you, homes in The Retreat At Twin Lakes Homeowners Association are not going to be selling well.
If at all.
George Zimmerman has an incredibly good case against his Homeowners Association for not supporting him in his time of need. They were the ones who wanted a neighborhood watch. They were the ones who accepted Zimmerman’s offer to walk the streets at night. But when the time came for him to show heroism and stand up against a potential burglar, they walked out on him.
This neighborhood has already tried to walk out on Zimmerman by paying Trayvon’s attorneys a million dollars to ‘settle’ this case. But it’s not settled, not by a long shot. Now, it’s Zimmerman’s turn.
This particular Homeowners Association, The Retreat At Twin Lakes Homeowners Association, is about to bite the ‘big one’.
It’s another HOA Hall of Shamereport from our fearless TV reporter in Las Vegas. This time it’s a relatively peaceful HOA that’s being shamed.
Well, I might have spoken too freely. This HOA isn’t really peaceful. It’s full of accusations of board mismanagement, misspent money, and board meetings being held secretly when a pro-homeowner member of the board couldn’t possibly attend because of her work schedule.
Ah yes, and it’s about writing a blank check to lawyers, even lawyers of former bad board members and managers. And illegal transfers of money, such a nasty business, this handling of OPM (other people’s money).
Yes, it seems like another Las Vegas Homeowners Association ought to be avoided like the plague. If you buy a home in the Pueblo at Santa Fe HOA, you’re likely to be screwed.
I always hate to send my readers away to another link. It’s supposed to hurt my SEO ranking. If you don’t return, my overall SEO score goes down and I get fewer followers.
Still, I feel it’s my obligation to occasionally send you to links that I feel are not only valid, but are important as we try to articulate what’s wrong with the National HOA scam. I read this one and was impressed with the way they analyzed the current HOA system and why this supposedly extremely ‘local’ government entity is not really local at all.
LOL! I intentionally avoid going to other Homeowners Rights websites so I don’t inadvertently post a story without giving full credit to the initial blogger. But someone in our movement emailed this to me, and it’s too good not to re-post. In any event, full credit here goes to Dr. Evan McKenzie for coming up with this one first.
It’s about a couple of Realtors involved in high-end McMansion sales who were caught throwing dead animals around the driveway of a neighboring property, apparently to scare potential buyers away from a rival Realtor’s listing.
There really must be some rampant mental illness going around in the real estate business. This is one they really should highlight at the annual Realtors Convention. Somehow, I think they won’t.
