GOP Rep. McCarthy elected House majority leader WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans have made the first change in their leadership since Majority Leader Eric Cantor unexpectedly lost a primary election last week. They’ve elected California Rep. Kevin McCarthy to replace him in the No. 2 job.

The 49-year-old McCarthy has been GOP whip, the No. 3 post, and his election Thursday was anticipated. He defeated Idaho Rep. Raul Labrador, a conservative who has often battled his own party leaders and said voters want change in Washington.

McCarthy came to Congress in 2007 and has climbed rapidly through his party’s leadership ranks.

He’s a close Cantor ally.

House Republicans will also choose a new whip to replace McCarthy. That’s a hard-to-predict contest between Reps. Peter Roskam of Illinois, Steve Scalise of Louisiana and Marlin Stutzman of Indiana.

Starbucks contribution to scholarship overstated NEW YORK (AP) — It turns out Starbucks isn’t contributing any upfront scholarship money to an online college degree program it introduced this week.

The Seattle-based company unveiled a program Monday that included a scholarship it described as “an investment” between Starbucks and Arizona State University. The program is designed to allow Starbucks workers to earn an online degree at the school at a steeply discounted rate.

Initially, Starbucks said that workers would be able to offset the costs through an upfront scholarship it was providing with Arizona State, but declined to say exactly how much of the cost it was shouldering. The chain estimated the scholarship would average about $6,500 over two years to cover tuition of about $20,000.

Following the announcement, however, Arizona State University President Michael Crow told The Chronicle of Higher Education that Starbucks is not contributing any money toward the scholarship. Instead, Arizona State will essentially charge workers less than the sticker price for online tuition. Much of the remainder would likely be covered by federal aid since most Starbucks workers don’t earn a lot of money.

Workers would pay whatever costs remained out of pocket for the first two years, and Starbucks would bear no costs.

TEXAS TECH LEFT handed pitcher Jonny Drozd throws the ball during the ninth inning against College of Charleston on June 7 at Rip Griffin Park. The Red Raiders lost to Ole Miss 2-1 during their second game of the College World Series on Tuesday in Omaha, Nebraska.

Ole Miss defeats Texas Tech baseball, 2-1 Tuesday Texas Tech baseball returned home from the team’s first appearance at the College World Series after losing to Ole Miss, 2-1, Tuesday.

According to a Tech news release, the Red Raiders will end the season 4521 overall, which, according to the re-

lease, is one of the biggest turnarounds in Tech baseball’s history.

Tech will most likely, according to the release, end the season ranked top eight in the collegiate baseball polls, the team’s highest ranking since the final week of the 1997 season.

Like when they faced TCU at the series, this game came down to one run, according to the release, ending after John Gatlin, senior Ole Miss left fielder, scored a run, making the score 2-1.

During the game, according to the release, Adam Kirsch, senior outfield-

er, finished 2-for-4 at the plate for his 16th multiple-hit game and Stephen Smith, freshman outfielder and righthanded pitcher, also went 2-for-3 with a walk for his 13th multiple-hit game of the year. ➤➤kbain@dailytoreador.com

Pantex wind farm hosts ribbon cutting The Pantex wind farm hosted the ribbon cutting for its new facility outside of Amarillo Tuesday.

The ceremony signified the end of the Pantex Renewable Energy Project, the largest federally owned wind farm in the country that is also fully financed by industry, according to a Tech news release.

The farm will be an extension of the current partnership between the National Nuclear Security Administration Production Office and Tech, according to the release.

Tech will be collaborating with Pantex and the office, according to the release, to combine the resources of the office, Pantex and Tech’s National Wind Institute to together create an energy research center at Pantex.

In attendance at the event, according to the release, included Russell Thomasson, associate vice chancellor for Corporate Engagement at Tech, General Frank Klotz, undersecretary for nuclear security and NNSA administrator, Steve Erhart, manager of the NNSA production office and Judy Marks, CEO of Siemens Government Technologies.

“Issues like getting salt out of the soil will be covered. With our irrigation water and the small amounts of rain we have gotten the past few years, we have issues getting of getting salt on our turf grass.”

Young said they will talk about products the Plant and Soil Science department has done research on and discuss what works and what doesn’t.

The field day will also include irrigation education Beliga said.

“We are inviting the public and home owners to come out and learn about drip systems and how effective it might be to have sub service drip.” he said.

Vice Chancellor for Research a n d C o m m e rcialization, Jodey Arrington announced Tuesday he is leaving the Texas Tech system to pursue ventures in the ARRINGTON private sector.

Kent Hance, Tech chancellor, said Arrington was an integral part of his leadership team and has given Tech many good years.

“He knows Texas Tech, works extremely hard and knows how to get things done,” he said, according to the release. “I know that he will be very successful in all his future endeavors.”

The change will be effective July 3, according to a Tech news release, and Arrington will be occupying the position of president of Scott Laboratories in Lubbock.

While in this position, according to the release, he will find investment opportunities, launch companies and commercialize medical-related technologies.

Hance said Arrington has accomplished a lot while at Tech.

These accomplishments include increasing the number of inventions and patents coming from Tech, Arrington said, and pitching an idea and receiving funding from the state of Texas to turn west Texas into a “Silicon Prairie.”

“We pitched the Silicon Prairie idea to the state-emerging technology fund and they funded Texas Tech to oversee this,” he said. “They have agreed to give us $300,000 and up to $1 million. The federal government, through the economic development fund, has agreed to fund us $300,000.

Texas Tech’s Department of Plant and Soil Science is teaming up with Texas A&M Agrilife Extention to host a turfgrass field day on July 21 at the Tech Quaker Research Farm.

Assistant Professor of Turfgrass, Dr. Joey Young, said the informative event is open to the public to educate participants on maintaining turfgrass.

“Part of the field day will be for higher end turfs geared toward sports field managers such as golf course or athletic field superintendents,” Young said.

“There is going to be a separate group ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

that is for residential and commercial lawn care.”

Young said though the event will be geared toward Lubbock homeowners, anyone who attends will benefit from the field day.

Vikram Baliga, extention agent for Lubbock County horticulture, said there is a huge need to educate the public on turf management in Lubbock.

“Nationwide, there are more acres of people’s front lawns than there are of cotton produced or corn produced,” Baliga said. “It is a huge commodity.”

“We will be talking to them about different products and chemicals they can use to make their lives easier,” Baliga said.

Local food bank to host event to combat hunger The South Plains Food Bank is teaming up with local partners and community members to “conquer hunger,” and kick off their 5th annual Summer of Sharing Food Drive.

On Saturday at Mackenzie Park, the South Plains Food Bank will be hosting a fun run including a 5k run and a one mile walk. Participants are encouraged to dress up as their favorite superhero. Admission is free, but the public is asked to donate non-perishable food items.

The need for a food drive came about a few years ago when summer break put a near halt on food donations. The Summer of Sharing is a way for the food bank to restock their shelves to feed the community in the summer months according to the South Plains Food Bank news release.

Danielle Libby, communications and digital marketing manager for the South Plains Food Bank said, “The summer is very hard for us to keep our shelves stocked, because it is the time when everyone is out of school.”

Summer break also poses several other food issues for the Lubbock community, Libby said.

“The kids that are on the free and reduced lunch program that eat at school

are now lacking access to the food that they would be getting,” she said, “and families are having a harder time keeping their children fed.”

Some students only get the meals offered when they are at school. In the summer, we are able to step in with the community’s help, she said.

The fun run committee is hoping to stack 4,000 to 5,000 pounds of nonperishable food donations at the finish line by the end of the day, Director of the Fun Run, Matt Hart said.

“Anyone in the community is invited to come to Mackenzie park and bring a food donation,” he said “We have lots of runners, people that walk, strollers with little kids and people that just come and bring lawn chairs and watch.”

The fun run is the kickoff event for the Summer of Sharing Food Drive. On June 30th at the conclusion of Summer of Sharing, the Food Bank is hoping to have raided 125,000 pounds of food and $50,000. This will provide approximately 200,000 meals according to the news release.

Participants will be able to register at 8:00am before the event starts at 9:00am if they have not pre-registered for the event. ➤➤kkupatt@dailytoreador.com

ROBERT BACH, FROM Los Angeles, uses a sponge to clean a new art piece on Thursday outside the Experimental Sciences building. Bach works for La Paloma Fine Arts, the company that constructed the art piece “Astro Lobe” designed by Owen Morrel.

The purpose of the plant, according to the release, is to meet and support the mission of the Department of Energy to enhance nuclear security and explore more renewable energy sources.

The farm is located on 1,500 acres adjacent to the plant, northeast of Amarillo and is rated a 4, according to the release, meaning it is a good source for wind energy creation.

It is anticipated that the farm will provide 100,000 renewable energy credits, according to the release, and supply 60 percent of electricity needed annually to power the plant. ➤➤kbain@dailytoreador.com

Long after move to US, Nazi suspect faces charges PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A decade after a court ruling allowed him to live out his quiet, middle-class life in the U.S., an 89-year-old Philadelphia man faces possible extradition to Germany on charges he aided in the killing of 216,000 Jewish

men, women and children at a Nazi death camp.

Johann “Hans” Breyer, a retired tool-and-die maker, is being held without bail on allegations stemming from his suspected service as an SS guard at Auschwitz during World War II. U.S. marshals arrested him Tuesday outside his home in northeast Philadelphia, acting on a warrant signed last week by a federal magistrate. Prosecutors said the district court in Weiden, Germany, had issued a warrant on June 17, 2013, charging him with 158 counts of complicity in the commission of murder. Each count represents a trainload of Nazi prisoners from Hungary, Germany and Czechoslovakia who were killed between May 1944 and October 1944.

Attorney Dennis Boyle argued Wednesday in federal court in Philadelphia that Breyer is too infirm to be detained pending his Aug. 21 extradition hearing.

Breyer, wearing a prison-issued jumpsuit, appeared frail and carried a cane as he was helped to his seat.

He has mild dementia and heart issues and has previously suffered strokes, Boyle said.

“Mr. Breyer is not a threat to anyone,” Boyle said. “He’s not a flight risk.”

But Magistrate Judge Timothy Rice ruled the detention center was medically equipped to care for Breyer. The elderly defendant appeared to comprehend questions about the nature of the hearing, though one of his grandsons testified Breyer’s dementia has worsened recently.

Breyer has been under investigation for years by prosecutors in the Bavarian town of Weiden, near where he last lived in Germany. He has resided in the U.S. since 1952.

Breyer has admitted he was a guard at Auschwitz in occupied Poland, but he told The Associated Press that he was stationed outside of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp part of the complex. He denied having anything to do with the wholesale slaughter of about 1.5 million Jews and others behind the gates.

“I didn’t kill anybody, I didn’t rape anybody — and I don’t even have a traffic ticket here,” he told the AP in a 2012 interview. “I didn’t do anything wrong.”

The field day will also cover drought tolerant landscape though the use of native plants and wildflowers.

“A drought tolerant landscape does not have to look like Tucson,” Baliga said. “You don’t have to just have rocks and cow skulls in your front yard. You can have lots of plants and color, it is just about making good choices.”

Baliga said part of the field day event will be discussing the benefits of turfgrass.

“Anything that is growing will pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere,” he said, “and a wellmanaged turf sequesters carbon out of the atmosphere.”

Registration for the free event will begin at 7:00am and the field day will begin at 8:00am, a free lunch to follow according to the Texas Tech website.

Trucker in Morgan crash was speeding NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The driver of a tractor-trailer that plowed into a limousine van carrying comedian Tracy Morgan and several friends, killing one and severely injuring Morgan and two others, was speeding in the final moments before the crash, according to a preliminary report released Thursday.

Wal-Mart driver Kevin Roper was going 65 mph in a 45 mph zone just before the June 7 crash on the New Jersey Turnpike, according to the National Transportation Safety Board’s report. The crash killed 62-year-old James McNair of Peekskill, New York.

The NTSB used the truck’s electronic engine-control system to calculate how fast Roper was driving.

“A preliminary review of the data showed that the Peterbilt combination vehicle was traveling at 65 mph for the 60 seconds preceding the collision with the Mercedes-Benz limo van,” the report concluded.

Traffic was slowed by construction that blocked two of the highway’s three northbound lanes. According to the NTSB report, a sign warned of the lane closures about a mile south of where the accident occurred, and another sign a half-mile closer directed motorists to reduce their speed from 55 mph to 45 mph.

According to a Turnpike authority spokesman, the speed limit in

that stretch of the highway has been lowered from 65 mph to 55 mph since a widening project began in 2009.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. trucks are equipped with devices that limit the vehicles’ speed to 65 mph, a spokeswoman said, so Roper was going at the top speed possible.

Drivers are required to follow the posted speed limit under WalMart policy, spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said Thursday. “Of course we expect our drivers to comply with the laws, whether it’s a speed limit, or (something else),” she said.

She otherwise declined to comment on the report, citing the ongoing investigation.

Messages left Thursday at several phone numbers listed for Roper’s attorney were not immediately returned.

The truck struck Morgan’s limo from behind, sending it into other vehicles and eventually onto its side. Morgan is hospitalized in fair condition with a broken leg and other injuries.

Morgan’s assistant, Jeffrey Millea, of Shelton, Connecticut, has also been upgraded to fair condition, according to Morgan’s spokesman.

Hospital officials said Monday that comedian Ardie Fuqua, of Jersey City, remains in critical condition.

Roper, 35, of Jonesboro, Georgia,

has pleaded not guilty to death by auto and assault by auto charges. A criminal complaint accuses him of not sleeping for more than 24 hours before the crash, a violation of New Jersey law.

The NTSB report said investigators were still probing Roper’s activities in the days leading up to the crash to determine the amount of rest he received.

It concluded that Roper left a Wal-Mart facility in Smyrna, Delaware, at about 11:30 a.m. on June 6 and made stops in Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania during the day. Just after midnight on June 7 he left Bristol, Pennsylvania, en route to Perth Amboy, New Jersey, when the crash happened about 30 minutes into his trip.

The timetable appears to show Roper wasn’t in violation of federal rules that permit truck drivers to work up to 14 hours a day, with a maximum of 11 hours behind the wheel. He had been on duty about 13½ hours at the time of the accident, according to the report.

Roper is suspended pending the outcome of the investigation. He had worked for Wal-Mart since February, but applicants must have 250,000 lifetime miles driving a tractor-trailer, and 50,000 miles within the past three years, to be hired, Buchanan said.

Left alone with a sex offender, teacher is raped POLICE BLOTTER Records Act. After the last of the other inmates left, Jacob Harvey asked the teacher if she could open the bathroom and then attacked her, records show. Harvey is accused of stabbing her in the head with a pen, forcing her to the ground and raping her.

The teacher told investigators that she screamed for help, but none came. Afterward, Harvey tried to use her radio to call for help. It had apparently been changed to a channel the unit’s guards didn’t use, so Harvey let the woman use a phone, according to the reports.

Carl ToersBijns, a former deputy warden at the prison, said the assault highlights chronic understaffing and lax security policies that put staff members at risk.

PHOENIX (AP) — A teacher at an Arizona prison was alone in a room full of sex offenders before being stabbed and sexually assaulted by a convicted rapist, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press about an attack that highlighted major security lapses at the facility.

The attack occurred Jan. 30 at the Eyman prison’s Meadows Unit, which houses about 1,300 rapists, child molesters and other sex offenders. The teacher was administering a high school equivalency test to about a half-dozen inmates in a classroom with no guard nearby and only a radio to summon help.

The Department of Corrections issued only a bare-bones press release after the attack, but the AP pieced together what happened based on interviews and investigatory reports obtained under the Arizona Public

gives him an opportunity to do his criminality because of a lack of staffing,” said ToersBijns, who was deputy warden at the Eyman prison in Florence until retiring in 2010 and oversaw the Meadows Unit for 19 months.

State prison officials, however, dismiss the concerns. They say the assault at the prison about 60 miles southeast of Phoenix is a risk that comes with the job of overseeing violent prison inmates.

Harvey was in the first year of a 30-year sentence for raping a Glendale woman in November 2011. Just 17 at the time, he had knocked on the woman’s door in the middle of the day, asked for a drink of water, then forced his way inside, where he repeatedly raped and beat her while her 2-year-old child was in the apartment. He fled naked when the woman’s roommate arrived home.

New push to get girls into computer sciences MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) — Diana Navarro loves to code, and she’s not afraid to admit it. But the 18-year-old Rutgers University computer science major knows she’s an anomaly: Writing software to run computer programs in 2014 is — more than ever — a man’s world.

“We live in a culture where we’re dissuaded to do things that are technical,” Navarro said. “Younger girls see men, not women, doing all the techie stuff, programming and computer science.”

Less than one percent of high school girls think of computer science as part of their future, even though it’s one of the fastest-growing fields in the U.S. today with a projected 4.2 million jobs by 2020, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.

This week Google, with a driverless car and Web-surfing eyeglasses under its belt, has given The Associated Press an early look at how it’s trying to change the gender disparity in its own workforce, and in the pipeline of potential workers, by launching a campaign Thursday called “Made with Code.”

The initiative begins with an

introductory video of girls— silly, serious and brave — meeting President Obama, painting over graffiti and goofing around. The narrator says: “You are a girl who understands bits exist to be assembled. When you learn to code, you can assemble anything that you see missing. And in so doing, you will fix something, or change something, or invent something, or run something, and maybe that’s how you will play your bit in this world.”

A website features female rolemodel techies who write software to design cool fabrics or choreograph dances. There are simple, fun coding lessons aimed at girls and a directory of coding programs for girls. The search giant is also offering $50 million in grants and partnering with Girls Who Code, a nonprofit launched in 2012 that runs summer coding institutes for girls, including the one that helped focus Navarro’s passion for technology.

A preview test run of Google’s online coding lessons this week was deemed “awesome” by Carmen Ramirez y Porter, 11. “It’s not very complicated. It’s easy and fun and really cool to see how it turns out

when you finish,” she said.

National Center for Women & Information Technology CEO Lucy Sanders, a leading advocate for women in computer sciences, sees the Made With Code initiative as a pivotal moment in what has been a long-term challenge of getting more girl geeks growing up in America.

“It used to be that as a computing community we didn’t really talk about gender issues. But now we’re really pulling together, from corporations and startups to nonprofits and universities,” Sanders said. “I’m very optimistic.”

There’s plenty of room for change.

Female participation in computer sciences has dropped to 18 percent, down from 37 percent in the 1980s, and only seven percent of U.S. venture capital deals go to women founders and CEOs. Just 20 percent of the 30,000 students who took the Advanced Placement computer science test last year were girls, according to a College Board analysis, which showed no girls at all took the test in Mississippi, Montana or Wyoming.

YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki,

one of the earliest Google employees, points to societal and economic drawbacks if women are not participating in the booming tech economy.

Also, she said, “I miss having more women counterparts.”

Tech firms are overwhelming male — Yahoo on Tuesday released a report showing 62 percent of its global employees are men. At Google, about 70 percent of the roughly 44,000 people it employs throughout the world are men. This year, the search giant commissioned a nationwide study to find out why so few women pursue technology careers, asking 1,600 people about whether they were encouraged to study computer sciences and had opportunities to learn to code.

Their findings, shared with the AP this week in advance of public release: Girls have little exposure to technology and computer sciences. That doesn’t mean they’re not interested, however. If parents, friends and teachers encourage their daughters to pursue computer sciences, schools offer more courses and more role models step forward, the field can be leveled.

But to capture girls, it’s got to be fun.

That’s the plan for a “Made With Code” kick-off event in New York Thursday for 150 girls, where indie rockers Icona Pop will perform and coders will demo how they make everything from animated movies to designer fabrics with software.

Actress Mindy Kaling, who is the event’s master of ceremonies, said she fights gender bias in Hollywood, but when a techie friend told her about Silicon Valley’s gender gap “it was staggering.”

“Just as television and movies need to reflect their audience, I think it’s important that people who create technology reflect the diversity of people who use them,” she said.

Chelsea Clinton, who is representing the Clinton Foundation at Thursday’s event, said she got her own first computer in 1987 from Santa Claus.

“Ultimately computer science is helping to create the future,” she said. “So when we think about the future, we know we need to be doing more in this country and around the world to ensure that girls and women

see computer sciences as real, viable options for them.”

Entrepreneur Dez White wasn’t necessarily pursuing a tech career when she asked a patron at her family’s restaurant to teach her to write software. She just had an idea for an app and wanted to make it.

“It was very hard for me to get my head around it,” White said. “I didn’t go to Stanford for code.”

Today, she hires coders for her firm Goinvis, which sells privacy apps that allows users to send texts that self-destruct at a set time and emails that disappear from an inbox after they’re opened.

But in addition to her day job, as a successful female AfricanAmerican entrepreneur, she realizes she needs to be a mentor as well.

“I think young women don’t even realize computer sciences are an option. It’s not laid out like nursing and social work,” she said.

Next year, she’s planning to organize a technology retreat for high school girls, and she tries to hire women for her growing company.

“It’s hard. We have to really look.

Their numbers are very, very slim,” she said.

Starbucks contribution to scholarship overstated NEW YORK (AP) — It turns out Starbucks isn’t contributing any upfront scholarship money to an online college degree program it introduced this week.

The Seattle-based company unveiled a program Monday that included a scholarship it described as “an investment” between Starbucks and Arizona State University. The program is designed to allow Starbucks workers to earn an online degree at the school at a steeply discounted rate.

Initially, Starbucks said that workers would be able to offset the costs through an upfront scholarship it was providing with Arizona State, but declined to say exactly how much of the cost it was shouldering. The chain estimated the scholarship would average about $6,500 over two years to cover tuition of about $20,000.

Following the announcement, however, Arizona State University President Michael Crow told The Chronicle of Higher Education that Starbucks is not contributing any money toward

the scholarship. Instead, Arizona State will essentially charge workers less than the sticker price for online tuition. Much of the remainder would likely be covered by federal aid since most Starbucks workers don’t earn a lot of money.

Workers would pay whatever costs remained out of pocket for the first two years, and Starbucks would bear no costs.

Starbucks Corp. had previously declined to say how much it was contributing to the scholarship. But in a subsequent email Wednesday evening, Starbucks said that the scholarship is being “funded by ASU.” A representative for Arizona State wasn’t immediately available for comment.

The program, which has been widely praised because education benefits are rare for low-wage workers, brought attention to the struggles people face in paying for college. It is unusual because workers can pick from 40 different degree programs and aren’t

required to stay with Starbucks after they complete their degrees.

As with most matters involving financial aid, the details of the program are complicated and would vary depending on a worker’s situation. For the freshman and sophomore years, workers would pay any remaining costs after factoring in the discount from ASU and federal aid.

Based on estimates provided by Starbucks, the worker would pay around $1,000 a year on average out of pocket.

The program would work much the same way for the junior and senior years, except that Starbucks would reimburse workers for their out-of-pocket costs, once they completed 21 credits.

It’s not clear whether the program will end up costing Starbucks more than its existing program, which offers up to $1,000 a year to take classes at City University of Seattle or Strayer University, with no limit on the number of years they can apply. Since it was rolled out in

October 2011, Starbucks said it has paid out $6.5 million for that program. It will be phased out by 2015.

The company said it does not yet know how much the new program might cost. But Laurel Harper, a Starbucks spokeswoman, said its analysis with ASU found most of its workers would qualify for federal Pell grants.

Mark Kantrowitz, publisher o f Ed Vi s o r s . c o m , a w e b s i t e about paying for college, said the program could benefit all parties involved.

Workers could get a chance at a degree from Arizona State University at a reduced rate. Arizona State could get a revenue boost from federal aid and out-of-pocket costs workers and Starbucks later pays. And Starbucks could attract a better pool of workers and burnish its corporate image.

Starbucks said its workers are “embracing this benefit with overwhelming excitement; ASU has seen an enormous uptick in interest.”

Part of George Zimmerman defamation lawsuit dismissed SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — Part of a lawsuit against NBC Universal that claims that the television network defamed George Zimmerman in a 2012 broadcast was thrown out by a Florida judge Thursday, putting the entire litigation in jeopardy.

Zimmerman’s attorneys waited too long under Florida statute to ask NBC to retract what it claimed were libelous statements in a March 19, 2012 broadcast that they said made their client sound like a racist, Seminole County Circuit Judge Debra Nelson ruled. Zimmerman was not at the hearing.

The statue requires five days written notice identifying potentially libelous statements. A letter claiming the

network edited Zimmerman’s 911 call to police to make it sound like he was a racist was sent to network executives on Dec. 4, 2012.

Three other NBC broadcasts from March 20, 22 and 27, that included the reference are still in question, but the judge said she had to do more homework on the issues before making a final decision.

The defamation case had been postponed pending the conclusion of Zimmerman’s murder trial in July 2012.

The 30-year-old neighborhood watch volunteer was acquitted of seconddegree murder in 17-year-old Trayvon Martin’s February 2012 death in Sanford.

The case took on a life of its own, with questions raised about race and Florida’s “stand your ground” defense law.

Zimmerman’s attorney, James Beasley Jr., identified not just negligent reporting by NBC, but apologies it made acknowledging problems in the four broadcasts. The editing made it sound like Zimmerman voluntarily told an operator that Martin was black.

He was actually responding to a dispatcher’s question about the Miami teen’s race. Zimmerman identifies himself as Hispanic. .

NBC apologized on April 3, 2012, for “an error in the production process” and fired a reporter and a producer afterward.

Beasley accused NBC of “manipulating Zimmerman’s own words.” The edited recordings included multiple deletions and removal of some of the dialogue between Zimmerman and the dispatcher.

Attorneys for NBC also argued that Zimmerman was both a “limited purpose” public figure and an “involuntary” public figure when the broadcasts occurred. Defamation law gives news organizations wide protections when covering public figures, who must prove that the news organization acted with malice and knowledge that the allegations were false.
