Subject: FW: (Fwd) "PICNIC" This e-mail comes to you as a public service announcement and as information in the form of a little known Black History Fact. This information is in the African American Archives at the Smithsonian Institute. Although not taught in American learning institutions and literature, it is in most Black history professional circles and literature that the origin of the term "picnic" derives from the acts of lynching African-Americans. The word "picnic" is rooted from the whole theme of "Pick A Nigger". This is where individuals would "pic" a Black person to lynch and make this into a family gathering. There would be music and a "picnic". ("Nic" being the white acronym for "nigger"). Scenes of this were in the movie "Rosewood". We should choose to use the word "barbecue" or "outing" instead of the word "picnic". Please forward this e-mail to all of your family and friends and let us educate our people.

De la Rionda LIED during his closing argument .... if you don't watch Greta Van Susteren you probably didn't notice this:

THE PROSECUTOR LIED to the JURY in CLOSING ARGUMENT and the DEFENSE JUST SAT THERE AND DID NOTHING!July 11, 2013/ RedFlag

(GRETA WIRE) -- This is important because this case is largely about credibility: is George Zimmerman a liar or not? Trayvon Martin can’t testify so the focus is on the credibility of the defendant.

In the closing argument today the prosecutor called George Zimmerman a liar about a statement at the police station and the prosecutor was just plain wrong. Zimmerman did not lie about it. The prosecutor exaggerated or mislead the jury (intentionally or inadvertently.)

The prosecutor told the jury that Zimmerman lied when he acted surprised that night, at the police station, when Officer Singleton told Zimmerman that Trayvon Martin died because, per the prosecutor, Zimmerman already knew Martin was dead.

The prosecutor – at about 2:40 pm in his closing – falsely or incorrectly told the jury that Zimmerman told neighbor Manalo at the scene that he killed Martin. In other words, that Zimmerman was a liar to Officer Singleton and trying to cover his tracks.

Below is what Zimmerman told Manalo per Manalo — that he “shot” someone. He did not say “killed.”

Not only is it bad for a prosecutor to falsely tell the jury a defendant lied about something when credibility is key to guilt or no guilt in a murder trial …what in the world was the defense doing? They should have immediately objectedand said ‘facts not in evidence and the prosecutor is misleading the jury’ and ask the judge to instruct the jury on this error (that they should disregard what the prosecutor said.) Instead the defense just sat there like potted plants.

Jonathan Manalo

“I was defending myself when I shot him,” Manalo said Zimmerman told him. Soon after police arrived and Zimmerman asked Manalo to call his wife. “Just tell her I shotsomeone,” Manalo said Zimmerman told him.

And that's why Greta would make a better defense lawyer than O'Mara and West. Not that they did a bad job overall.
