This whole DeeDee narrative is going to be the undoing of Ben Crump. Stanley McDaniel Manor Blog has an interesting note on the Dee Dee manipulation. Outlining something previously overlooked.
In the FDLE interview report (which we thought a little odd at the time) Kenneth Wayne Moore of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement specifically outlines that Dee Dee was/is reported as a minor at the time the report was filed.
All personal information relating to this “girlfriend” has been blacked out in the report. BUT THE REPORT SAYS:
Note at the very bottom of page #1:
“The information in this report contains information about a JUVENILE that may be privileged or confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.”
We now know that “Trayvon’s girlfriend” is Dee Dee, AKA Witness 8, even though she was coy at best about her relationship with Martin during the interview.
SA Moore also wrote that when they arrived at the location of the interviews (that too was redacted), Benjamin Crump was there and Daryl Parks and Natalie Jackson arrived sometime thereafter.
Fulton gave a statement at about 1540 and Tracy Martin gave a statement sometime after 1630, but they had some difficulty locating Dee Dee, who was finally found and “escorted to” Fulton’s home where she gave an interview sometime after 1830.
This is a most unusual report. Officers often assist fellow officers from other jurisdictions, but seldom write reports about it.
They virtually never write reports that essentially say they drove them around and helped them find a few people.
In fact, officers providing such minimal assistance commonly write reports only if they actually participated in some law enforcement function, in which case, they document exactly what they did.
In this case, SA Moore essentially says: “I picked these guys up at the airport, drove them to a place where they interviewed a couple of people, and when they were done, drove them back to the airport,” making a very odd police report indeed.
Moore does not say or imply he did anything else. He does not say he sat in on any interviews. He does not say whether he waited where the interviews took place, or merely returned when they were done to provide transport.
He uses passive language, giving no hint that he did anything affirmative to find anyone, or even to escort Dee Dee to Fulton’s home.
On the other hand, police officers often write reports to cover their tender posteriors, particularly if they suspect those posteriors might be in danger of exposure.
If that’s the case here, being sure to mention the names of Crump, Parks and Jackson does makes sense. Notice too that the personal information of Dee Dee was redacted, yet those redacting the report let slip one interesting bit of information: Dee Dee was “escorted” to Sybrina Fulton’s residence where she was interviewed.
Is that why they needed FDLE agents down there??? for an "escort" service???
Was that an "escort" from a government facility, a county facility, like a detention center or county jail and back again after the deposition???
Was she in jail awaiting trial??? how long had she been in there??? since March 19th -- Crump's interview???
Is that why Crump had to interview her by phone on March 19th and not in person???
Was the first location they went to a juvenile detention facility and the other one where she was found the adult detention center, or vice versa???
Is that why they pretended that she was 16 years old — to keep anyone from knowing that she was in jail???
Is that why they have kept her address from the defense???
Is that why they put this disclaimer at the bottom of the report and redacted everything about her, even though the state knows and has known since since before its April 2nd deposition that she was 18 years old and not a juvenile.
Zimmerman is no longer useful. Move along.
They were talking on cell phone by all accounts. She could not be in prison talking to him on a cell right? Maybe some sort of juvenile home?
Who the heck is General Zimmerman?
I LIKE your line of questioning. Keep up the good work.
I think if they claimed she was underage, they could keep the media from learning and broadcasting more about her background.
The only general I know of is Bodo Zimmermann, one of Hitler's top commanders on the Western Front in 1944-1945.
He's the one with the Stuff -- the Stuff that the Specific Prosecutor wants.
