Each week when the participants in the prosecution of the State of Florida VS. George Zimmerman speak we are astounded that no-one in the legacy media finds enough courage to factually investigate this case.
Specifically, the fraud that is the storyline around Witness #8 “Dee Dee” the supposed girlfriend of Trayvon Martin.
Initially she was sold to the media on March 20th as a 16-year-old girl, a minor, a sweetheart, who was devastated at the tragic loss of her 17-year-old “puppy love”. A girl who was on the phone with Trayvon when he encountered George Zimmerman. Benjamin Crump played an audio recording of her statement proving his claims. The media ran with that story, and, for the most part, actually still does.
The prosecution then used her *tender age* as a shield of anonymity to protect her from the ruthless hounds of media interest. The State of Florida argued before Judge Lester that her minor status meant she needed additional protections. This, despite the fact she never once contacted law enforcement, never once called Trayvon’s Mom or Dad, and was essentially non-existent until Trayvon family attorney Benjamin Crump discovered her and presented her story to the world. Indeed, even Trayvon’s Dad, Tracy Martin, and his Mom, Sybrina Fulton, supposedly had never heard of this “girlfriend”.
But yet she was on the phone with Trayvon for 400 minutes on the day he died? She was devastated, so much so she was hospitalized and could not attend the funeral. Yet, no-one in the family knew her?….. or so the story was sold.
However, incredulous as it may seem, as the actual case against George Zimmerman was presented in legal discovery, it is revealed the woman who talked to the State prosecution on April 2nd, who gave a sworn statement, and who framed the Probable Cause Affidavit for arrest, was not a minor at all. She was, on April 2nd, according to them, eighteen years old. C’mon, seriously? This thing stinks worse than rotten eggs.
So did the Martin family just make up a story to hide her, or was there something more sinister about it. Was the March 18, 19th Dee Dee who swore a story to Benjamin Crump, and ABC News’s Matt Gutman, the same person as the April 2nd Dee Dee who swore a statement to the State of Florida?
After the state initially used her minor status to hide her identity; And after the state sought to hide her address when requested by the defense; And after the numerous conflicting descriptives; And after listening to her sworn statements; And after listening to her recorded interview with Ben Crump…… We have asserted it was not.
The March 20th (16-year-old) DeeDee that Crump used to create his “media evidence”, was NOT the same (18-year-old) person who talked to the State of Florida on April 2nd.
But, anyone would say “no-way”, “c’ mon”, “obviously they’d get caught”…. right?
Not. So. Fast.
Yesterday, Martin Family attorney Benjamin Crump appeared in court for a hearing, only this time he was not alone. Now he is represented by legal counsel, Bruce B Blackwell – Attorney At Law, from Orlando.
The Defense is still trying to get to the bottom of who exactly Dee Dee is, and the story of her that was presented by Ben Crump that obviously does not match the witness descriptives now given by the State of Florida; Who, by the way, still refuse to provide the specifics of her identity – such as her address.
So yesterday, as the defense tries to unravel the enigma that is DeeDee, and get answers to this mysterious March 19th “telephonic interview”; The one that framed the entire construct of the media narrative, Ben Crump shows up in court with an attorney, on the date of his scheduled deposition, to file a brief and avoid being deposed.
However, within the actual Supportive Motion for a Protective Order (ie. he ain’t talking) presented to the court – the evidence of the false story that is Dee Dee is EVEN MORE painfully obvious.
..........................
In the motion to protect himself from deposition, attorney Benjamin Crump is claiming that on March 19th when he interviewed the bombshell witness #8, DEE DEE, he never asked her for her full name (surname) or address? (page 6 – item #18)
HE NEVER ASKED HER FOR HER LAST NAME?
Seriously.
This is his angle to obfuscate and avoid the potential for liability form the fraudulent affirmation of a supposed witness? “I didn’t ask her name or address”? This is ridiculous.
Or is it?
It certainly looks like this is his approach at presenting “plausible deniability” for the fraudulent story. If he didn’t know her name or address, then how can he be sure the person who showed up for the April 2nd statement with the State Prosecution is the same person?

@1:01 “…the young woman’s parents asked that we not use her name…”
Why be asked to not use her name if they didn’t know it?
If I’m not mistaken, the Florida courts’ disciplinary branch would do the investigation if one were done. It’s the FL courts that grant lawyers the license to practice in their venues after passing the bar exam (or by reciprocity with another state). And its the courts that oversee professional conduct/discipline. If the investigative body recommends suspension or disbarment, it would have to go thru the state’s supreme court.
If by a miracle Zimmerman is acquitted by the jury in spite of all the jury-tampering by the media and the President, Holder is sure to go after him on civil charges.
As the lie becomes more obvious, the MSM loses interest in Trayvon. They don’t care that they’ve destroyed Zimmerman’s life.
Way old enough to have an abortion without parental consent, according to the Democrats.
I think it’s been stated before, but I believe this whole Zimmerman thing is to set the precedent of
“thou shalt not defend thyself from black thugs”.
I think they are particularly trying to get rid of the "Stand Your Ground" law although it really isn't applicable to this case--Zimmerman never had the option of retreating as far as I can tell from the reports.
Florida Kangaroo Court ping.
Nothing about this in the South Florida “Poor St. Trayvon of Sanford” media.
Admit to being confused. Aside from the false Dee Dee, do they have a witness named Dee Dee, was she on the phone with Trayvon during the incident? Does she have that phone number do the records match, etc?
I know I read Facebook or tweets or something of the girl who knew Trayvon but obviously not as closely as Crump’s made up story.
Crump lied because he needed Z indicted and better yet convicted, to sue for money. But is there a real witness now?
Well that's just great taking into consideration the make up of the Florida courts. I googled and found that the first three Florida Supremes were appointed by Lawton Chiles and the rest were appointed by Charlie Crist. Technically they are Republicans, but they would be Crist republicans. Don't know about the makeup of the disciplinary branch, but it's a good guess they're corrupt to the bone too IMO. Thank for the information.
I’m not a lawyer, but have seen how the process works in DC and assume those general outlines carry true in other states. Assuming that’s the case, the states’ highest courts themselves only have input after the investigation/ hearings/ appeals, etc. are concluded.
If no compromise has been reached the supreme court would hold a hearing and then rule. It can be a lengthy (and costly) process. Most lawyers, if the prosecutors at the disciplinary branch have irrefutable goods on them, will go for some sort of compromise settlement.
IMO, what was done here warrants disbarment, not just a slap on the hand. But Crump has the $$$ to fight charges to drag out the proceedings until he got an offer that he could accept, OR would assume that he could take a short-term suspension and let the firm carry on without him for the suspension’s duration, bringing in the $$$. That assumes the disciplinary body chooses to pursue him.
