I think the essential elements aleged are this:
There was no case against Zimmerman, and in order to cash in, the Martin attorney Ben Crump made a bunch of stuff up and created a media firestorm that was designed to get charges filed against Zimmerman so there would be an avenue for civil damages. In this, he got assistance from the media and the administration.
So far, judges in the case have been very reluctant to look under the rock that Crump created because doing so would make the Florida legal system look like it’s populated by morons, ‘cause they went along with it in the racially charged heat of the moment.
Zimmerman attorney O’mara is trying to force the current judge to provide a peek under the rock.
If there’s something wrong with my limited understanding, I’m sure sharper legal minds than mine will chime in.
And some on this forum.
