A potential witness in the case against George Zimmerman has testified that the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with killing Florida teen Trayvon Martin molested her when they were both children.
The unidentified woman told the Duval County State Attorney’s office that Zimmerman began abusing her when she was 6 and continued until she was 16, MyFoxOrlando.com reports. Zimmerman is older than the woman by a little more than a year. The woman also told police that Zimmerman and his family do not like African-Americans.
Phone calls Zimmerman made from the Seminole County Jail were also released. A total of 140 calls made in April of this year were included in the evidence made public.

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???
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.
She was six, he was seven, they’re cousins. The FBI finds no racial motivation in Martin’s shooting. Not that any of that matters to the news media.
But did it have to become public for O'Mara to know about all that she said??
Isn't there some stuff that is released to the defense but not the public??
If it is so good for O'Mara to know this stuff, then why did he fight so hard to keep it from being released???
There’s gonna be an entire *library of books* coming out on this case. I’d bet many are in the works, right now, with the conclusion for GZ already foretold.
Hook her up to 220v.
Their *agenda* is all that matters; screw the truth.
"Witness...." to WHAT?
Nowhere in this story does it even suggest that she has knowledge of the "incident" in question, soooooo, HOW can she be considered a "Witness?"
Keeping Out Prior Bad Acts
http://www.relentlessdefense.com/post-detail.php?id=2299
If you have a criminal record, the prosecutor may try to introduce evidence of your “prior bad acts” in your criminal trial.
This type of evidence is allowed (is “admissible”) only in limited circumstances, but do not expect the judge or the prosecutor to guard your rights in this regard. You need a savvy criminal defense lawyer, who understands the rules of evidence, to prevent prior bad acts evidence from reaching the jury and unfairly influencing the outcome of your trial.
The Federal Rules of Evidence govern the types of evidence that are admissible at trial in federal court. Both the federal and the state rules limit the introduction of evidence of a defendant’s “prior bad acts.”
Specifically, a prosecutor may not use this evidence as proof of the defendant’s bad character; or to show the defendant’s propensity for committing the same type of crime; or to prove the likelihood that the defendant committed the particular crime at issue in the trial.
However, the law does allow a prosecutor to introduce evidence of prior bad acts for other purposes, including to establish motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge or identity.
Thus, for example, if a defendant is on trial for bank robbery, the prosecutor may not tell the jury about the defendant’s prior bank robberies if the only reason for doing so is to cast the defendant as a “bank robber” or a “criminal character.”
If, however, all of the bank robberies share the same distinctive modus operandi, then the jury may learn about the past robberies as a means of connecting the defendant to the current robbery.
CONCLUSION: Either the Beeatch DA is the dumbest State's Attorney in FL, OR, she knows that this "alleged molestation" can NOT be introduced and has NO bearing on this case, thus she (and the biased, corrupt Judge) are INTENTIONALLY, "Poisoning" the potential Jury Pool and the well!
The judge and DA are race-baiters and have their *agenda*; screw the truth and legal system.
LOLOL! I knew those pics would be coming, just like the Martin-Thug-Man/Boy pics with GZ in the jumpsuit.

O’Mara knew about the Paypal money as early as April 14th and he and the prosecutor and the judge all just played stupid.
“... she (and the biased, corrupt Judge) are INTENTIONALLY, “Poisoning” the potential Jury Pool and the well!”
That sums it up, perfectly.
And the racists come out like the cockroaches they are.
LOLMAO!
Just a few narrow categories, and W9 isn't in any of them. Undercover police ID, evidence that pertains to related investigations, co-conspirators, etc. Photos of dead bodies or sex organs.
-- If it is so good for O'Mara to know this stuff, then why did he fight so hard to keep it from being released? --
Because it's a distraction, and the first reaction of the public (jury pool) is going to be negative against his client. Add to that, it doesn't help W9, either. There isn't any social benefit to come from fighting this battle in public. And this battle is marginally relevant to the murder / self-defense case.
Yeah. I read that earlier today, including all the comments at CTH. Maybe O'Mara is more conniving than I credit him for, or more "loosey goosey" at some cash threshold.
To whatever extent he was playing fast and loose on April 20, he cleared it up on April 27. But ... have you seen the list of Zimmerman expenses? Lots of money for communications / internet stuff, few hundreds for clothing, etc. I won't say they were going all high in the hog, but it was a windfall, and time for the old jeans to go to Goodwill!
The point isn't to defend a saint, it's to defend the right to use deadly force if your life is threatened. This case is persisting because the blacks have threatened violence en mass, if they are called on the use of violence one-on-one.
I don't think so. That is an illusion. It won't happen. Unless Crump has enough money to pay them, they won't riot. They are all too business savvy now to just riot because the trashcan trail of tears says so. They will want to be paid to riot and they will want the money upfront. There is little trust among these thieves.
And if a riot were to occur, all that needs to happen is for the Martins and/or Crump to do a Rodney King "Can't we all get along" speech and it will be over. Of course, Crump and company will negotiate their fee for such an appearance upfront -- just like Rodney King did.
The truth is it's all about the money. Crump and Team make millions negotiating network appearances for their clients, witnesses, Martins. Everytime you see one of them on the screen, they are making money and so are their lawyers who negotiate the appearance deals.
This thing is already falling apart for them. So their time is short to get their money and run. I'm sure that they are pressing discounted settlements to the HOA, the city of Sanford, the maker of Ridgeline trucks, KelTec pistols, whatever they can before the SYG hearing comes up.
That's why this distraction. It gives them more time to shakedown the insurance companies for discounted settlements with the appearance that the SYG hearing just might go their way. It's all about the money.
How did the prosecutor with all her fine tooth combs miss call #30??? or did she???
