I have no legal experience whatsoever, but wouldn’t the defense have every right to interview DeeDee in consideration of possibly calling her as a witness, AND have the right to see a statement she gave near the time of the killing, to see if her statements are consistent?
I believe that’s what Cbolt was discussing in his response to me. If the prosecution is going to use the tape evidence of Deedee, then the defense team is entitled to that evidence before the trial.
Regardless, if Deedee is a key witness of the prosecution, they will call her at trial, and the defense team can cross examine.
Honestly, from what I’ve been reading about Deedee, the prosecution may not want to use her testimony at all.
Like I said, I’m in my first semester, so I’m brand new to this stuff. However, I can definitely tell you that one of my professors gave an MSNBC recount of the Zimmerman incident. I was pretty disgusted, but not surprised.
