On 26 February 2012, George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin.

Over the next three weeks every public statement by law enforcement reported the same thing - namely, George Zimmerman was freely cooperating with the investigation, and no evidence contradicted his statements.

On 20 March 2012, Benjamin Crump, Martin family attorney, held a live press conference in South Florida.

Crump stated that phone logs confirmed that Trayvon had communicated by phone and text with his girlfriend "Dee Dee" for much of the day he was killed.

Crump claimed that Dee Dee had been on the phone with Trayvon only seconds before his death.

Crump claimed that Trayvon told Dee Dee he was being chased by some man, and that he was very frightened of this stranger and was trying to run away or hide.

Crump claimed he interviewed Dee Dee by phone on 19 March, and that he recorded that interview in his office in front of several witnesses.

Although law enforcement certainly had the same phone logs as Crump, there is no public evidence that they had any knowledge of Dee Dee before 20 March.

A Florida prosecutor finally interviewed Dee Dee on 02 April 2012.

The transcript of this interview raises more questions than it answers.

Notably, why did Dee Dee never contact 911, or law enforcement, or Trayvon's parents, or tell her mother about these phone calls?

Also, in several key parts of the prosecutor's interview, even a neutral observer of this case would say it sounds like she's been coached.

And, at several points Dee Dee explicitly contradicts herself, and the prosecutor either tries to help her clean up the error or just glosses over it.

Dee Dee is the heart and soul of the prosecution's case.

Yet, Dee Dee and Crump were familiar with almost every important piece of evidence in this case BEFORE they finally stepped forward with her version of the facts.

And, for months the prosecution refused to provide Zimmerman's defense with Dee Dee's full name and contact information.

Only in September, and almost accidentally, the defense learned that Dee Dee is not a minor, but is 18.

And today, Benjamin Crump still refuses to turn over the first interview ever with Dee Dee.

Will that tape bring still more questions about Dee Dee's honesty?

Stay tuned.

Crump would be wise to emigrate to Singapore about now, as would Angela Corey.

Another interesting development...

Sanford cops a problem for prosecutors in Zimmerman case, experts say

"Serino wrote in a sworn affidavit that there was probable cause to arrest Zimmerman. But he later told the Federal Bureau of Investigation he was pressured to author that document and didn't believe the evidence was sufficient for the manslaughter charge he recommended."

Love it. If the state rushes things, they may still be able to salvage a plea to a littering charge, but that’s fading fast. There’s no way anything she has to say goes to the jury without Crump coughing up the tape. If he’s coaching or recruiting her on that first tape he’ll have a whole lot of ‘splaining to do.

That's hard to believe because I recalled reading about the GF right away. But sure enough Crump came up with the substance of her call sometime before the 20th of March and then announced it to the world as "connecting the dots" and "blowing away" Zimmerman's self defense claim. Before the 20th of March the girlfriend on the phone with Martin was just an item in each news story.

I hope Zimmerman understands that even if the State of Florida drops the charges,a state judge dismisses the charges or a Florida jury finds him not guilty he'll still be facing Federal charges and that Attorney Corporal Holder (or,perhaps,Attorney Corporal Bill Ayers) will make sure he's convicted.

Crump claimed he interviewed Dee Dee by phone on 19 March, and that he recorded that interview in his office in front of several witnesses.

Did anyone ever ask why "by phone"??? and not "in person"???

Who was with her on the other end of the phone in that interview???

Who is to say that the person on the other end of the phone on March 19th was the same person that BDLR deposed on April 2nd???

Isn't it curious that 2 days after this Crump-managed circus of revelations [3/20], Angela Corey is appointed special prosecutor [3/22], and she avoids a scheduled Grand Jury where DeeDee would have to appear, and charges Zimmerman on her own and the only evidence she has is the now-crumbling Crump narrative crafted 2 days before designed to secure her appointment.

‘Dee Dee’ is a prime example of magic thinking. She likely now believes her own fabricated tale. The attorney knew he could count on her to become convinced of whatever he coached her to say. He’s scum and needs to go to his father ...
