The Fifth District Court of Appeal today ruled that Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Trayvon Martin’s family, must sit down and answer questions under oath by George Zimmerman’s attorneys.
In the just-released ruling, the court wrote that Zimmerman’s lawyers have a right to question Crump about his dealings with a woman who’s expected to be the state’s most important witness.

It (the appellate court) ruled that Zimmerman’s attorneys may question Crump but only on a very narrow set of things. They may ask him about the contents of the interview and about the circumstances surrounding it
.
They may not, however, ask why he tracked her down or what methods he used to do that.
A small win, but not a complete one.
O’Mara has an ace. All he wants from her is “perjury”.
At a deposition he’s a potential witness and, as such, will be under oath.
It is a small win but puts the court (the judge) on notice that she is prejudiced against Zimmerman and that the Appeals Court Unanimous decision makes it obvious.
Is there new information? I ask because I thought that there was no proof yet that this phone conversation ever actually took place.
If he’s being deposed, he’s under oath by definition.
I would be interested in the moment factor. How long did the assault of Z last? That comment was made to make it look like M was just standing or walking when Z fired.
Remember the first reports, of man stalks and shoots child for no apparent reason.
Oops forgot. I guess M can talk on phone while bashing z’s head on a sidewalk?
From the inital report, Martin was on top of Zimmerman beating the hell out of him. Zimmerman managed to get to his gun and fire. Not that the truth matters a hell of a lot in this case.
All contact with Dee Dee has been managed by Crump, and everything public about what Dee Dee has said has been stage-managed by Crump, to the point of obvious editing gaps as Dee Dee fumbles her way to verbalizations that are even vaguely intelligible.
The idea that Dee Dee can convince a (fair) jury that she was in real-time communication with Trayvon during the course of the key events in this case is far-fetched.
This girlfriend was talking to Martin on the phone...he tells her he’s being followed...she hear’s the beginnings of a verbal confrontation...the phone goes dead...
Her reaction?
Do nothing. Don’t try to frantically call Martin back. Don’t call the police. Don’t call Martin’s brother or father.
Then the next day after it was discovered that Martin was dead, what did she do?
Nothing. She didn’t go to the police and tell them about the confrontation. She didn’t go to the parents the next day with her story.
Why?
It didn’t happen. She made it all up when race huckster Crump came to town.
I hope he was using Verizon, so the NSA can play the tape of her last phone conversation with St. Trayvon. I’m sure it will corroberate her story.
Maybe she uses Verizon...there should be a tape of her phone calls.
Z has said exactly that in his recollection of facts.
Sanity? Why would you bring that into a discussion like this?/
The autopsy, position of the gun and fatal wound will me the major factors for the resonable/SANE people.
Stay safe! I’ll be L&L!
Steely Tom ~:” All contact with Dee Dee has been managed by Crump, and everything public about what Dee Dee has said has been stage-managed by Crump, to the point of obvious editing gaps as Dee Dee fumbles her way to verbalizations that are even vaguely intelligible.”
The time delay in “Dee Dee” coming forward (not stalked ?)
and the fact that all contact with Dee Dee was controlled by Crump
makes Crump complicity in the legal action pivotal.
Also critical is whether or not Crump has ‘coached’ Dee Dee’s responses.
After what came out in court this morning Bernie and Corey should be in handcuffs.
The real source file on the phone had 23 times more data than the source file that the prosecution turned over to the defense — 23 times.
Now they need to allow the Tweets and texts regarding his MMA-style fights, and his wanting to make victims “bleed” as much as possible.
People this age communicate more by text than through phone calls - the likelihood of a 17 year old male out for a nighttime stroll getting an incoming voice call from a female is low, and the likelihood that he answers the call is even lower.
In that social set, answering a phone when a female who is not your mother calls you makes you seem weak and needy.
The normal sequence is that she sends a text and then he decides whether or not he wants to reply to the text.
WOW! Zimmerman’s 911 calls were all recorded. The only evidence that the Dee Dee calls ever happened is her highly garbled and coached. That makes Martin ‘s phone records vital evidence for evaluating the Dee Dee testimony. Now it appears mist of that phone record evidence has been altered or destroyed by the state. At the very least, all of the Dee Dee evidence ought to be excluded and the persecutors (spelling intended) disbarred.
