Bernie De La Rionda is using the blanket O’Mara discovery and witness list approach against O’Mara’s client George Zimmerman. Previously O’Mara filed a response during “witness” discovery, witness listing, which included the catch line:

“Any witness identified through State’s discovery not otherwise disclosed herein”.

What O’Mara is intending to say appeared to be the defense *may* add additional witnesses which may come to light as a result of the continual disclosure of the State’s discovery.  However, because BDLR had previously listed Shellie Zimmerman as a possible State’s Witness, the catch line tagged all current State witnesses as also defense witnesses.  Ergo, Shellie is by default now listed as a Defense witness.

Why is this important?

Because Bernie De La Rionda has a right to depose and question all of the Defense Witnesses, so if Shellie is a defense witness, then she must be forced to sit for his questioning.  It appears BDLR intends to use Shellie to injure the credibility of her husband George.

“Hocus Pocus”….  pictured here is Bernie De La Rionda immediately after he threw the Ju-Ju Bones and placed Judge Nelson under his hypnotic spell.   Through a series of arm movements, resembling ‘flapping’, combined with a specifically organized series of “um’s” and vocal incantations’, Bernie is able to initiate the hypnotic trance at will.

Trial and Hearing followers will note how successful he is with the ju-ju bone approach.
