Let’s take a trip down memory lane and then we’ll tie it into the tragedy of Donald Trump’s cabinet picks this week. This is going to upset some people.
Here’s the media-approved narrative of the story:
February 26, 2012. Sanford, Florida. A sweet little angel named Trayvon Martin had gone out at night for one of his favorite snacks of Skittles and iced tea from a 7-11. On his way home, sweet little Trayvon somehow must have gotten lost and accidentally crawled over the fence into a gated community. Trayvon was a good little boy who planned to go to college. Those dreams ended, however, when a dangerous “white Hispanic” named George Zimmerman hunted little Trayvon down and murdered him in a fit of racism.
That’s how the Trayvon Martin story was sold to the American public. Barack Obama even inserted his big gay mouth into the case, claiming that if he had had a son, he probably would have looked like Trayvon.
The reality of what happened that night was very different. George Zimmerman was the Neighborhood Watch coordinator for the gated community he was living in. He called the police that night when he spotted a suspicious figure inside the community sneaking around. As he was waiting for police to arrive, Zimmerman attempted to find the suspicious figure. That’s when an eyewitness who was watching out her front window saw the hooded figure of Trayvon Martin, who had a history of drug abuse and petty crimes, jump out of the bushes and punch Zimmerman without warning.
Trayvon Martin was not a little boy. He was a big dude. At 17, he was so large that he could probably buy beer at the corner store without an ID. When he initially punched Zimmerman, he badly broke his nose. Zimmerman fell to the ground.
When another neighbor heard the scuffle outside, he ran out to see that “little” Trayvon had mounted George Zimmerman “MMA-style” and was pounding his skull against the concrete. The neighbor called 911. On the recording, you can hear George Zimmerman screaming, “Help me! Somebody please help!”
Zimmerman was a short, squat guy. Trayvon towered over him. He was screaming for help on the ground with a broken nose and his head was bleeding from being smashed into the pavement. Fearing for his life, Zimmerman finally pulled out his legal concealed-carry sidearm and fired one shot, killing his burly attacker.
It was such a clear-cut case of justified self-defense that Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee, chief investigator Chris Serino, and local prosecutor Norm Wolfinger were all in agreement. George Zimmerman could not possibly be charged with any crime under Florida laws. Zimmerman was released and not charged with any crime.
The story suddenly became a media sensation. Chief Lee, Detective Serino, and prosecutor Wolfinger were removed from the case. A special prosecutor named Angela Corey was appointed to go after George Zimmerman—and boy, did she. Zimmerman was suddenly facing murder charges and he was held in jail without the possibility of bail until his trial ended.
The case against Zimmerman finally fell apart when the defense got “Witness #8” on the witness stand. That was a young woman named Rachael Jeantel, who was supposedly Trayvon’s girlfriend. She told an amazing tale about how she had been on the phone with her boyfriend Trayvon as he was being hunted by a suspicious white man on the night of Feb. 26, 2012.
When the defense gave Jeantel her elaborate written statement that she had given to prosecutors, it was discovered that she couldn’t read. Therefore, she couldn’t possibly have written the written statement that was attributed to her. There was no record of any cell phone call between Jeantel and Trayvon. Oh, and she didn’t actually know Trayvon Martin and wasn’t his girlfriend.
Rachael Jeantel was a completely fabricated witness who was created by special prosecutor Angela Corey and her team to try to frame George Zimmerman for murder. The attempted prosecution of George Zimmerman was done to score racial grievance points during the Era of Obama.
Angela Corey’s main qualification for being named “special prosecutor” was that she served as then-Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi’s campaign manager. Bondi oversaw the prosecution of George Zimmerman and had to know that her team had fabricated a witness (Rachael Jeantel) to try to send him to prison for murder.
You can fill in the rest of the blanks, but we’ll close with this. There is no statute of limitations for prosecutors who use false evidence to try to convict an innocent person. The moment that Pam Bondi walks into the Department of Justice after Republicans in the Senate eagerly confirm her as the next Attorney General, the Deep State has blackmail leverage that they can use against her. She won’t be reforming anything.
