Neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman made statements to police that help establish his guilt in the second-degree murder case against him for killing unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin, prosecutors said in a court filing on Thursday.
The claim came in a motion by prosecutors to keep some of Zimmerman's statements under seal pending his trial in a case that triggered civil rights protests across the United States, while sparking widespread debate over guns, self-defense laws and U.S. race relations.
"Defendant (Zimmerman) has provided law enforcement with numerous statements, some of which are contradictory, and are inconsistent with the physical evidence and statements of witnesses," the prosecutors said in their court filing.
They said the statements by Zimmerman were admissible in court and "in conjunction with other statements and evidence help to establish defendant's guilt in this case."
The court filing offered no details about the statements Zimmerman made to police or other law enforcement officials. It said Florida's public records law had no provision requiring "the disclosure of a confession" of a defendant....

Eff the media . . . let the truth shine through.
Zim offeed a friggin urban predator. Good for him!
It’ll be interesting to see what Dersh has to say about this latest stunt. I smell fear on the side of the prosecution.
The prosecution in the case is highly irresponsible because they are running scared. Hence the attempt of a trial in the sycophantic media.
The prosecutor should be brought up on charges.
Here’s the filings.

Nifong 2.0 coming up.
No good deed goes unpunished.
You are correct. Read their filing and you'll see they're trying to seal everything up from public view. They're panicking.
Sounds like that stupid woman is getting desperate.
“We’ve got incriminating evidence, so we’re demanding that it be kept secret!”
Yeah, that computes.
Big time.
You are correct. Read their filing and you'll see they're trying to seal everything up from public view. They're panicking.
I disagree, they are following orders from Holder and ultimately the bummer to inflict chaos.....to what goal will be determined.

You bet they’re running scared. This comes directly on the heels of the “news” of eye witness recantations and contradictory statements. When (not if) Zimmerman is acquitted, they will be catching 9 kinds of liberal hate from their fellow travellers.
Kinda makes it hard to get invites to all the correct cocktail clinkers. Let the race war begin. If you live in the city, ....c’est la vie. C’est la guerre.

the prosecutor withheld evidence.....she better start lawyer’n up
