Famed attorney and legal commentator Alan Dershowitz has been one of the harshest critics of State Attorney Angela Corey's approach to prosecuting George Zimmerman. According to Dershowitz, Corey is none too pleased.
Writing on Newsmax.com, the Harvard Law School professor says Corey called the school and went on "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."
When the school explained Dershowitz has a right to express his opinions, Corey "persisted in her nonstop whining," he writes, "claiming that she is prohibited from responding to my attacks by the rules of professional responsibility."
Dershowitz has been critical of Corey since she charged Zimmerman with second-degree murder in April. He says the affidavit she filed to support that charge omitted key facts and contained "half truths."
A Corey spokeswoman declined to comment on the Newsmax column.
Dershowitz's post doesn't say when exactly Corey's call occurred. A Harvard Law School spokeswoman didn't return a call seeking comment.
Dershowitz says Corey, in her affidavit, "willfully omitted all information" about injuries Zimmerman suffered in his conflict with 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. He said Corey denied having an obligation to include that information.
"She should go back to law school, where she will learn that it is never appropriate to submit an affidavit that contains a half truth, because a half truth is regarded by the law as a lie, and anyone who submits an affidavit swears to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," Dershowitz wrote.
Dershowitz has ripped Corey repeatedly.
The affidavit, he said in a television interview, "is not only thin, it's irresponsible."

The law should be based on the law, not what one group or another wants..slippery slope..
Hilarious! As if Harvard would listen to some butt-f**k wanna be Napoleon over their beloved Dershowitz, who gives them HUGE publicity and alumni support?
This political hack is going down in flames. She knows her case is a loser and only there to satisfy the Black Racists.
Pray for America
Corey is depraved.
Was she high on “Lean”/”Drank”? (Watermelon Fruit Juice Cocktail, Skittles, and Robitussin DM cough syrup).
I don't think that he's going to let up anytime soon. He needs to be on Anderson Cooper.
“submits an affidavit swears to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth”
Imagine that Dipshitowitz was able to make that statement and not one person challenged him on his submission of countless affidavits were he has done the exact same thing.
What a self righteous,elitist liar
You mean the Anderson Cooper who's ratings are second-from-the-bottom in the cable yakker category?
You got any proof of that?
Because there certainly is proof that Corey has done exactly what he said she has done in this case, and Alan doesn’t have the power to ruin people’s lives as she does.
No. The Orlando Sentinel has been one of the better sources of information on Zimmerman/Martin since the beginning.
For example, back on 3/13, the Sentinel was publishing an interview with investigator Chris Serino in which he stated that he did not sign an affidavit saying that he wanted Zimmerman charged with manslaughter, as well as a letter from the City of Sanford to that effect.
The Sentinel almost appear to be pro-Zimmerman in its coverage merely because it publishes all of the facts.
Sorry, I meant 3/18.
His criticisms are ruining her life. Give me an effing break. Hope she rots in hell.

Correy v Harvard Law School - the attorney equivalent of suicide by cop.
