George Zimmerman's lawsuit saga is unfolding though the Florida court system in the form of depositions and a powerful but little known tool called "Requests for Admissions."
Under Florida Law, a plaintiff can submit a list of up to 30 questions, each beginning, "Admit that you...." Under penalty of perjury, the defendant must either admit or deny each statement. If the defendant doesn’t bother to answer any of the questions, the court assumes that they are admitted as true.
In the way of background, Zimmerman is charging that Trayvon Martin’s support team, including Martin’s parents and their attorney Benjamin Crump, knowingly substituted an imposter witness for the real “phone witness” in order to secure Zimmerman’s arrest for the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman and his attorney Larry Klayman were inspired to launch the suit based on the research of filmmaker Joel Gilbert, as seen in his documentary film and book of the same name, “The Trayvon Hoax: Unmasking the Witness Fraud that Divided America.”
Among the eleven defendants in this case, arguably the most vulnerable are the prosecutors who brought it, former state attorney Angela Corey and former assistant state attorneys Bernie de la Rionda and John Guy. Corey and de la Rionda have both since retired, and Guy is now a sitting Florida judge.

I Thought Scott and Bondi appointed a special prosecutor for some reason and wasn’t involved in the case?
Bondi is a big time friend of Trump.
That is not accurate, and the article somewhat inflates the significance of a request for admission. Responses to requests for admission do not need to be made under oath or under penalty of perjury. The consequence of denying a fact that the requesting party later proves true is that the responding party may be ordered to pay the "reasonable expenses incurred in making that proof" unless the "admission sought was of no substantial importance" or "there was other good cause for the failure to admit."

Blocking the defendant’s parents from the courtroom is something that normally isn’t allowed. The prosecution asserted that somehow was a special circumstance and they had to have Bondi’s permission.
Those of us fully invested in this case (I had a multi racial child) intend for that decision to derail her career. Certainly it will no more just go away than the things Elisabeth Warren or Kamala Harris will ever be allowed to go away.
All three of those women and those who support them will never evade their responsibility for their decisions merely because time has passed.
Requests for Admission are a pretty useless discovery tool. It’s not hard to draft non-admission answers. Judges rarely force defendants to give a straight up yes or no answer.
Thanks rktman.
“Get that filthy Pam Bondi bitch for her part in this.”
No, she works for Trump now and lost a lot of weight! She’s lookin’ GOOD!
I forgive her.
I never will.
She owes George Zimmerman a pound of flesh and she must pay.
I am VERY grateful George is taking this on and exposing the fraud and corruption here. There are eerie parallel’s to this virus fraud
The Texas Supreme Court recently made them even more useless in Texas, holding that attorney fees cannot be awarded for the denial of a “merits-preclusive” request for admission. They are now basically limited to authenticating documents or other narrow “uncontroverted” matters.
“Get that filthy Pam Bondi bitch for her part in this.”
Er...Wut?”
Agree....Bondi was a big part of the charade
I’ve tried to search things several times and it hardly ever works for me. Too bad they’d resort to punishing you for it.
that’s because she’s a suck up POS
Bondi is also responsible for appointment of Angela Corey, with the implied order to charge Zimmerman.
