5 years since George Zimmerman

Legal Insurrection reminds us that it’s been 5 years since the George Zimmerman verdict. They helpfully include a list of “myth buster” posts they did at the time. It’s dismaying and depressing how so many of these myths are still prevalent. Zimmerman Trial Myth Busters: Did Zimmerman disobey police orders to stay in car? A:…

Zimmerman Libel Suit thrown out – because the libel made him famous

This is from the “you’ve got to be kidding me” files. George Zimmerman’s lawsuit against NBC came up recently, and the same judge that appeared to be so biased against him during his criminal trial proved it by throwing out what is really a slam-dunk case. In the audio played repeatedly by NBC on the…

Your Quick Guide to Zimmerman Trial, Part 2.

Part 1 is here, covering the disaster that was the prosecution case. Day 9 Continued: The Defense moved for a directed verdict of acquittal. “Mantei provided the State’s counter to the motion for a directed verdict in a manner that cannot readily be described in language suitable for a family-accessible blog. To say it was…

Zimmerman NOT GUILTY

Legal Insurrection reports in the last few minutes that the jury has come back with a “not guilty” verdict. Given the evidence, this is by far and away the only verdict that could be described as justice. Regrettably, most people (including one commenter who keeps returning) have no idea just how bad the case against him…

Idiot/Savant – “those poor, poor, cheats”

Compare and contrast people: First, tax cheats are bad people. Tax cheats steal from us all. Every dollar they save in tax from these tricks is a dollar we have to pay, borrow, or cut – a dollar we don’t get to spend on schools, hospitals and state houses. The government should make these companies…

Obamacare – not out of the woodwork yet

Patterico reports that the shenanigans that were used to a) pass the Obamacare bill and b) get it through the supreme court are about to collide. You see, in order to get the bill passed, they took a bill passed by the senate, then changed the entire thing, then passed it in the house. The…

Was Chavis Carter shot by Police?

Madeleine Flannagan, Lawyer, and Jacqueline Sperling, Blogger. What’s the big deal?

Jacqueline Sperling has a special place in her heart for a lawyer named Madeleine Flannagan. As I’ve noted previously, she’s blogged obsessively about the dispute she created with her, and has produced as part of that obsession a screed of lies and harassment that is pretty hard to brush under the carpet. But it seems in all this that…

Did Sperling Genuinely try to Settle with Madeleine Flannagan and Ms Brown? Part 1.

  I have noted previously that Jacqueline Sperling tried (and continues to try) to ruin the life of lawyer Madeleine Flannagan, for having the temerity to request she stop harassing and defaming in her spare time. Back in May, Sperling wrote this in one of her posts just before the court hearing (which she did not attend): Twice…

When does the harassment stop?

  One day there was a blogger. This blogger had a habit of saying nasty things about people and had been taken to court several times already*. One day, that blogger decided, “I know, I’ll taught my friend who recently decided to attempt suicide.” So she did, and was really quite nasty. Well, that friend had a…
