State Attorney Angela Corey, the prosecutor in the George Zimmerman case, recently called the Dean of Harvard Law School to complain about my criticism of some of her actions.
She was transferred to the Office of Communications and proceeded to engage in a 40-minute rant, during which she threatened to sue Harvard Law School, to try to get me disciplined by the Bar Association and to file charges against me for libel and slander.
She said that because I work for Harvard and am identified as a professor she had the right to sue Harvard.
When the communications official explained to her that I have a right to express my opinion as “a matter of academic freedom,” and that Harvard has no control over what I say, she did not seem to understand.
She persisted in her nonstop whining, claiming that she is prohibited from responding to my attacks by the rules of professional responsibility — without mentioning that she has repeatedly held her own press conferences and made public statements throughout her career.
Her beef was that I criticized her for filing a misleading affidavit that willfully omitted all information about the injuries Zimmerman had sustained during the “struggle” it described. She denied that she had any obligation to include in the affidavit truthful material that was favorable to the defense.
She insisted that she is entitled to submit what, in effect, were half truths in an affidavit of probable cause, so long as she subsequently provides the defense with exculpatory evidence.

She’s desparate. She has visions of Nifong dancing in her little heady. This is a race hate show trial.
Her problem is that she’s not accustomed to being evaluated by her peers as she abuses the justice system.
LMAO.... I can smell the fear. Angela Corey is trying to pick a legal fight with the wrong man.
There is a prison cell and financial ruin waiting for the moron, Angela Corey.
Uh, professor, that’s because, 1. she has no case; and, 2. she’s an idiot.
This whole effort to crucify Zimmerman is nothing more nor less than a sop thrown to the screeching Black mob, and anyone with two gray cells to rub together and/or an ounce of personal integrity knows it.
What I find so interesting here is that Corey's "half truth" is perfectly acceptable to the court, while Shelly's may be sanctionable. The "professional" that is bound by a code of ethics can, can feel free to "lie" by omission. Shelly (was she even sworn in?) is just a average citizen who would normally be presumed to be completely ignorant of court procedure.
LOL!! Should have read the article first. I guess Dersh and I agree!
Someone needs to send Corey a copy of the First Amendment... I'm saying a quiet prayer of thanks for Dershowitz - he's probably the only person at Harvard willing to stand up for the outcast Zimmerman... Shows great courage. It's not easy to stand alone.
Isn't it great to be an entitled prosecutor under Florida law. You are entitled to lie with impunity. You get to lie to the court as long as you provide evidence of that lie to the defense.
Now why exactly is GZ back behind bars???
Because a liar said he should be and a gutless judge said ok.
Because that wouldn't 'help' her case.
The funny thing is over at DU their heads are exploding. Apparenlty they dislike Mr. Dershowitz. Who’da thunk it?
We need a legal defense fund for Mr Dershowitz
