ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. —
Mark O'Mara said his legal fight with the people who tried to convict George Zimmerman is not over.
On Friday, at a Tiger Bay Club luncheon in Orlando, O'Mara detailed the case that garnered national attention.
Mark O'Mara described the struggle he said he went through to get evidence from the prosecution team of Bernie De La Rionda and State Attorney Angela Corey.
He cited the picture of a bloodied Zimmerman, taken the night Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin, as an example.
"It is undeniable that they had a plan in mind, with the 15 months that we had to get ready, of keeping information from us, and I don't say that lightly, I really don't," O'Mara told the group.
A member of Corey's own team was fired and is now suing her office after he testified that prosecutors had kept evidence from O'Mara.
"You have this type of gamesmanship for the sole purpose of trying to deny a fair trial and, as it turned out, try to convict an innocent man," said O'Mara.
O'Mara has filed a motion that will be heard by Judge Debra Nelson.
He claims prosecutors purposely withheld evidence from him and the defense team.
Channel 9 has learned that O'Mara could go after Corey. She called Zimmerman a murderer on national television after the trial.
"He could bring civil action against Angela Corey for statement she made outside the courtroom. Also, he could file a grievance against her with the Florida Bar," WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said.
Sheaffer asked O'Mara whether he intends to drop the issue.
"I am not done with that motion. I'm not done with Angela Corey. And we are going to be seeing more of each other. We'll see how that turns out," said O'Mara. "This is because this is not supposed to be how we practice as lawyers."
Channel 9 contacted Corey's office for a response, but the call was not returned.
Angela Corey is an attorney?
Ya know, for all the abuse lawyers get around here, tell me that statement doesn't warm your heart.
Go Mark!!
Acting petty and vindictive toward the media is generally not a good move for a prosecutor.
At this point The Honorable Ms. Corey needs to be reading up on The Dishonorable Mr. Nifong.
As a Florida resident I am all for removing that scumbag corey from her cushy job, ripping her license away, and jailing her but an even bigger bull dyke then she looks to be.
MOM is a very professional, soft spoken attorney whose bite is a lot worse than his bark. Lovely young Angela is about to be reamed a new one.
Angela Corey CAN’T STAND HER GROUND...LOL.
She’s dirty as dirty can be.
Everybody of note except for the NAACP, Holder and the “Just Us Brothas” have agreed this was not about violating civil rights. I doubt they will get very far.
Of course, ANYTHING to keep picking at this sore and keeping the public eye off what is really happening.
This trial was an example of how corrupt some of the courts have become.
Understood...but I was thinking about *GZ's* lawyers.There's nothing that the state can do to GZ now...the same cannot be said for our Community Agitator-In-Chief.
Angela B. Corey Bio
Angela Corey is a native of Jacksonville and a second generation Floridian. Corey received a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing from Florida State University in 1976, and her Juris Doctor from the University of Florida, College of Law in 1979.
Corey is a 30 year veteran prosecutor and began her career in 1981 under State Attorney Ed Austin. During her 25 year tenure in the Fourth Judicial Circuit, Corey tried hundreds of cases including more than 50 homicides.
In 2007, Corey joined the 7th Judicial Circuit for a two year stint as an Assistant State Attorney in the homicide investigative unit. In November of 2008, she was elected to serve as the State Attorney of the 4th Judicial Circuit of Florida.
I think that if I were Angela Corey I would be spending as much time as I could down at the Holiday Inn Express.
It's almost painful to see how naïve you are. Have you actually forgotten the Rodney King fiasco?
This is a war on several fronts. The GZ legal team cannot ignore any of them. They seem to know enough about strategy, without our help.
Apples and bowling balls comparison.
George Zimmerman is not a government employee.
He far outperformed the dishonest and unethical prosecution.
If they go to court again it is a pretty safe bet that Mark O’Mara will again destroy the prosecution attorneys.
I didn't make myself *entirely* clear so I will now....there's nothing more that the *State of Florida* can do now.But as I suggested earlier there's plenty that the United States Department of Just Us can do.
