"The reason Witness 8 gave for lying to Mr. Crump was that Trayvon Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, was present during the interview. Similarly, Witness 8 stated that she told Mr. de la Rionda the same lie because during Mr. de la Rionda's sworn interview of Witness 8, for unknown reasons, Ms. Sybrina Fulton was sitting next to her, and Witness 8 similarly felt the need to deceive as to the reason for not going to the wake or funeral."
Is Witness 8 saying that Sybrina was present with her on the other end of the phone during the interview or what???
Because Ben Crump in his affidavit states that Sybrina was with him on his end of the phone -- not the other end.
This really needs to be sorted out because if Sybrina was with DeeDee on her end of the phone, then it seems that we may have another Crump lie under oath.

Your proposed contradiction would be great, but my guess is that Sybrina Fulton was sitting with Crump, and hearing what W8 said via the speakerphone. Crump probably made a big deal of introducing Trayvon’s distressed mother over the phone. His manipulation game worked, since W8 admits lying because Mrs. Fulton was “there”.
