That all makes sense, but it still doesn’t tell me why her being at the hospital during the funeral is relevant? Unless you are saying she claimed she was so upset by his death that she was hospitalized, but in reality she barely knew him. In which case, why was she trying insert herself in the case anyway.
“why was she trying insert herself in the case anyway.” The defense would want to present the jury with the doubt that his witness could be lying for the purpose of obtaining a prosecution and judgement against the defendant using invented familiarity with the details of the event. In other words, she prejudicially assumed she knew Zimmerman was guilty, and she was determined to see that Zimmerman would not escape punishment if her testimony, invented or real, could be used to do so.
If a jury becomes aware of this problem with the credibility of the witness, the jury could use the lack of credibility as reasonable doubt of the defendant’s guilt.
The prosecution has a problem, because this witness testimony was usedd to arraign and indict Zimmerman and bring about the trial. If the prosecution were to omit this witness testimony at trial altogether, the whole case could be in jeapordy before it eveer goes to trial. Consequently, the prosecutor will attempt to limit the damage to credibility and do everything possible to avoid the jury becoming aware of the problem with this witness credibility.
I’ve seen problems with her witness testimony from the very beginning, because it seems to contradict the 9/11 recordings and Zimmerman’s testimony. When you look at Google Maps with the aerial view and Street View while listening to the 9/11 recordings, there simply is not enough time and space for her testimony to be true. Based on the elapsed times and the conversation on the 9/11 recordings, the only way Trayvon Martin could have disappeared around one corner of the building complex and then met Zimmerman retracing his steps toawards his vehicle on the other return side of the building complex was by deliberately running around the buildings to intercept Zimmerman. There appears to be no way possible for Zimmerman to have intercepted Trayvon Martin or preventing Trayvon Martin from entering his residence.
The testimony from this witness seems to completely omit the Trayvon Martin movements we heard about on the 9/11 recording.
It's relevant for several reasons:
1] It's an identifier since people who supposedly spoke with DeeDee1 said that she was in the hospital during the wake/funeral. If she was not in the hospital then she is either not DeeDee1 or not the person that these other people spoke with.
2] It's relevant because the prosecuting attorney deemed it relevant in his deposing of her. It wasn't information that she volunteered but information that he specifically requested of her. If it wasn't relevant he would not have asked the question and pursued the answer.
3] It's a verifiable lie, meaning that documents would exist and be provable one way or the other.
4] If she would lie on something like this that is "irrelevant" yet provable, then what else is she lying about that is relevant but not provable.
