This is the judge’s rationale for putting this stuff out there:

“In this Court’s opinion, application of the McCrary test requires the disclosure of this statement. The public
discussion relating to this case indicates that the Defendant’s attitude towards race may be an issue at trial. Adding this statement to the discourse will simply be another piece of the puzzle to be relied upon by those who want to believe that there was a racial motive to the shooting, and will be dismissed by those who claim there is no such motive.”

But there is no racial accusation in thses statements about GZ at all. It’s all about children and sex. Is it possible that this kind of stuff excites Judge Lester???

W9 has made, I think, about 4 recorded statements. In the earliest ones, Feb 28 or so, she accuses Zimmerman of being a racist. says it flat out, that George does not like black people and that he is confrontational.

The statements of hers released yesterday were made on March 20th. One of the two recordings goes tho this racism allegation, and she recants her allegation by saying she doesn't know of any incidence of George acting or talking racist.

But that Feb 28 statement is still out there, and one might wonder what motivated her to make it? Well, cure the unwelcome sexual advances statement. She's had this bad feeling about amorous George for a decade. While at a glance, her allegation appears only damaging to Zimmerman, it also cuts against her credibility as far as her racial allegations against Zimmerman.

I think O'Mara would want to know all this about her - the fact that it's public, now instead of later, is an artifact of Florida's sunshine law. I don;t blame the system - W9 decided her experience with George was relevant to the case, so it all comes in.

The public reaction is unpredictable, except die-hard Martin supporters will continue to be irrational.
