[InMemoriam]

Crump pulls it off. I guess we can add robbery to assault with intent to do great bodily harm to the deceased's legacy.

Will this have any effect on George Zimmerman’s trial? The homeowner’s association is essentially saying that Martin’s death wasn’t his own fault.

"The association's insurer, Travelers Casualty and Surety Co. of America, filed suit in federal court in August, asking a judge to clarify its liability in the case, but that suit was dropped in November.

"Travelers is not a party to the settlement," the company said in a prepared statement. "The settlement would have been with other insurers of the homeowners association and/or the property managers."

The policy had a $1 million limit, according to federal-court records, and went into effect March 30, 2012, a few weeks after Trayvon was shot. Trayvon's mother filed a claim with the insurer after it went into effect, according to federal-court records."

Now why would Crump settle and file this right now?
1) Price goes down as it becomes clearer each day that there really is no case against GZ, especially as W8 continues to unravel (and who knows this better than Crump?);
2) Crump wants to publicize his representation of the Martins to provide a rationale for why he shouldn’t be deposed (because O’Mara just filed an appeal to overturn Nelson’s ruling in Crump’s favor).

Insurers don’t settle for more than their policy limits, in this case said to be $1 million. Thus headlines about “for more than $1 Million” are self-evidently false, likely straight from the mouth of spindoctor Crump. Could Crump have actually settled for peanuts to give him something to announce? It’s not as if his career rides on avoiding deposition...
