The Discovery Evidence in case of State of Florida vs. George Zimmerman clearly shows that Witness #8 “DeeDee” the mysterious girlfriend of Trayvon Martin is 18-years-old.
[pg #1 F-2] Witness #8 is 18-years-old and was 18 at the time of Benjamin Crump’s interview with her on 3/19/12 according to her sworn statement to State Prosecutors on 4/2/12.
So why did the media and the Trayvon Family of Attorney’s report to the public that DeeDee was 16-years-old on 3/20/12
ABC News was there exclusively as the 16-year-old girl told Crump about the last moments of the teenager’s life. Martin had been talking to his girlfriend all the way to the store where he bought Skittles and a tea. The phone was in his pocket and the earphone in his ear, Crump said. - Matt Gutman
Attorneys’ Benjamin Crump, Natalie Jackson, Jasmine Rand and Daryl Parks also falsely identified DeeDee as Trayvon’s 16-year-old girlfriend. Here - and Here – and Here - misleading the public and the courts.
The Global Grind also reported the details on behalf of the family:
The 16-year-old girl who was on the phone with Trayvon Martin in his final moments has come forward, saying that she has not been interviewed by Sanford police – despite Trayvon telling her he was being followed.
Trayvon’s 16-year-old girlfriend, who is only being identified as DeeDee, recounted the final moments of her conversation with Trayvon before the line went dead.
But she’s not Sixteen, she’s Eighteen. So what gives? What else are they lying about?
And why did the State of Florida never correct the hundreds of interviews given by the Trayvon Family and their Legal Representatives to both media, and law enforcement, where they claimed “DeeDee” was a 16-year-old minor?

"FBI agents were in Sanford on Tuesday, continuing their interviews in a civil rights investigation of the case, which Martin family supporters say is a clear-cut case of racial profiling leading to an unjust killing.... On Monday, agents interviewed Martin’s girlfriend, the 16-year-old girl who, phone records show, was on the line with him shortly before the fatal confrontation, Martin family attorney Daryl Parks confirmed Tuesday."

So just who did the FBI agents interview on that Monday April 2, 2012: a 16 year old girl or an 18 year old girl???
Were they hoodwinked too or part of the charade???
Sixteen, 18, what’s the difference in the ‘hood? “Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed .... “
Will the real Slim Shady, please stand up.
“Were they hoodwinked too or part of the charade???”
Don’t we already know? Hussein needed a “it could have been by son” moment in his efforts to continue a race war.
Why would they want to lie about her age?
Crump portrayed her as a minor that needed more consideration and protection than an adult. That meant she wasn’t as accessible since Crump “protected” her.
I’m hoping that Crump ends up in bankruptcy after being sued.

Because as a minor she would be treated as a juvenile not an adult, which means that her name and identity had to be withheld from the public AND she cannot be held to the same standards as an adult in criminal matters, for example if she was found to have committed perjury in a deposition.
minors identity is protected.
an 18 year old is no longer a minor. Her identity must be given for testimony.
Right, great point. Thanks to both of you for the clarification.
“Ok, so they lied about her age, I get that, but is there any other difference it makes to what she stated?”
Because as a minor, she can make the statement and not be put under a microscope herself.
As an 18 year old, and subject to being investigated, I hereby make the bold prediction: she won’t turn out to be the second coming of Mother Teresa!
More than likely a big time druggie and gangster whore - which will further help to define the thug that was killed that night.
“which Martin family supporters say is a clear-cut case of racial profiling leading to an unjust killing...”
Clear-cut alright, but clearly not in the way the Martin family claims.
I didn’t get that from her twitters. I did get the feeling that Crump managed the message so that she was not out and out lying. Crump very carefully led her by his questions. What wasn’t said was interesting.
Anyone looking at Crump’s interview and reading the twitters can see the differences. She really didn’t care about Martin. He was that kid in her twitters after he died. The big lie from Crump was that she was so distressed she couldn’t go to Martin’s funeral. Remember Crump got his hooks into the Martins long after the funeral. He had to build a story.
Dee Cee, IIRC, went somewhere with friends on the day of Martin’s funeral. It was just another day for her. Crump blew it because by the time he came on the scene and started the PR effort, the social media content, facebook, twitter, etc. had already been found and cached on a lot of websites. Crump missed all of that.
If the news media had done a cursory internet search they would have been suspicious of the story line. Instead they jumped on the bandwagon and often added their own embellishment. If justice prevails Zimmerman is going to be very wealthy.
For 13 days all we heard from Crump and the Martin attorneys is that DeeDee was 16 years old -- "a minor chile". That point is driven home again and again in every media story.
Then on April 2nd BDLR the prosecutor sits down with her at a deposition and the girl in front of him states for the record under oath that she is 18 years old -- not a minor and not 16.
Did it ever occur to BDLR that the 18 y/o DeeDee in front of him at that time was not the same 16 y/o DeeDee that Crump interviewed on March 19th???
Crump brought this DeeDee to the deposition and was there in the room. Why didn't BDLR stop the deposition right there and ask Crump what the deal is???
The fact that he didn't stop the deposition right there, but then went ahead and used it for his affidavit, and in subsequent copies edited out her age, indicates that he was complicit in this scheme, perpetrating a fraud and fabricating evidence.
Yep! BDLR is most certainly complicit or he’s so dumb, someone took the bar exam for him.
Here’s the basic problem with that logic:
If the whole story is about what she “tweeted” then she doesn’t need to be interviewed.
If there is something to the story that requires that she be interviewed, then it is more then tweeting.
If there is something to the story that requires that the defense not be told her true age so that they will not have access to her, then there is something rotten in the woodpile.
Since that is EXACTLY what happened, the only conclusion I can come to is that there IS something rotten in the woodpile. And if they are trying to keep the defense away from this girl, then there must be something about this girl that would help the defense.
Given the media circus the prosecution turned this case into, they’d have paraded her out at a news conference unless it would have somehow benefited the defense.
That is the problem. The story is not about the tweets or facebook postings.Those provide a completely different viewpoint of the witness that contradicts Crump’s PR scam. You get to read about the real Dee Cee and Trayvon which neither Crump, the Martins or the media mentioned.
Crump and the Martins have been actively trying to prevent that stuff from going mainstream. It’s already out on the internet and has been for some time. Of course that doesn’t comply with the rules of evidence.
Some of the pictures which were previously said to not be Trayvon are now confrimed to be him in a newspaper article. Those are the ones that show a side of Trayvon that the media ignored in their portrayal of him as a young innocent rather than a wannabe thug.
What Crump tried was brazen as hell and required a complicit media and an agenda driven prosecuter to accomplish. The tweets and facebook stuff never made it into the lamestream media. Zimmerman was ganged up on in every sense of the phrase.
IMNSHO, both Crump and the Martins have been obstructing justice by trying to restrict access to information about the so-called girlfriend and Martin.
The interview with Dee Dee which the defense is trying to get a good copy of (instead of the one they were given, much of which is unintelligible because of the poor quality) was done after Crump had a chance to coach her what to say. It still could be useful to the defense.
There was something a few days ago about how they couldn't get information from Trayvon's cell phone without the PIN which Trayvon's father refused to give them (obviously because he thinks it might help the defense). I don't know enough about cell phones to know but what kind of evidence is there likely to be? Could the original phone conversations still be in there in the form of a recording?
I don’t know anyhing about cellphone memories. I doubt there would be recordings unless there’s a record mode. There might be some pictures like the thug poses Trayvon had elsewhere.
