Oh my…. Puppy Love Spat?….   “hostile and angry”….. Priceless

Don West files response to State regarding the relevancy of discovery evidence for Trayvon Martin’s background, conduct, associations, drug use, gun ownership, criminal records etc. It is, after all, a self-defense defense; Meaning the actions of the other party led to the consequences to them by the response from the other.

It’s troubling that the 5th District Court of Appeals has yet to rule on whether or not Martin family attorney, Benjamin Crump, can be deposed surrounding his introduction of, or manufacturing of, Witness #8, “Dee Dee”, in the State V. Zimmerman discovery phase.

What exactly is taking so long for them to determine whether or not to override Judge Nelson is unknown.   The tin-foil-nutter in me thinks that the DOJ-Community Relations Service (CRS) might be playing a behind the scenes role in that determination.

After all, the essential substance from the CRS perspective is one based on “Impact due to Race”, that’s what they do.  As we have outlined the CRS is an omnipotent secretive and federally protected entity within the Dept of Justice.  Even discussing their activity is protected by Federal Law.   The CRS has broad reach into the judiciary in ways that are incredibly concerning;   And yes, they can, at times, use the full weight of their broad authority to force judges toward decisions the CRS view’s are in the best interest of the community, and goals, they serve and advance.

We know the Federal Dept of Justice through both the FBI and the CRS have been significantly involved in this case from the beginning (around mid-March 2012).

The civil rights division of the Dept of Justice are who control and direct the CRS.   The head of that agency was Tom Perez, the person contacted by Benjamin Crump, Congresswoman Corrine Brown, the Congressional Black Caucus and the local Seminole County NAACP head Clayton Turner.

If Benjamin Crump were exposed on a national scale it could potentially be an explosive development.     So much so – the CRS would have a vested racial interest in stopping the discovery of any fraud perpetrated by Crump himself;  The damage to race relations on a national scale would be staggering.

Think about it.

A black attorney specializing in civil rights and wrongful death claims is proven to have manufactured a witness to intentionally charge a white-Hispanic just so the black attorney, and those he represents, could financially gain from lawsuits?… And the entire weight of the State of Florida supporting the fraudulent scheme is also exposed?

Yeah, you bet your a$$ the federal Community Relations Service would be all over wanting to keep that out of the public spectacle, x infinity……    Take Tawana Brawley mix in a dose of the Duke Lacrosse Players, and amplify the Presidents Son to the level of 2013 infinity.

You betcha.

The evidence aligns with, and supports, the conclusion that Crump created a fictional narrative surrounding a manufactured witness he delivered to the State of Florida in order to secure an arrest of George Zimmerman for his clients, the Martin family.

There is no doubt a person gave the State of Florida a statement that led to the arrest on April 11th 2012.     This same person was delivered, by the State, to the defense for witness deposition.

However, the initial Crump narrative that described this person has proven to be demonstrably false.   Most, if not all, of witness #8’s account is fiction – and especially troubling are the descriptions of the witness herself, given by Benjamin Crump, which are now known to be false.

She was described as a 16-year-old girl,  Trayvon’s girlfriend, who was on the phone during Trayvon’s encounter with George Zimmerman, and who was in the hospital at the time of the Trayvon funeral, and who penned a statement which, according to Crump, affirmed the basis for Benjamin Crump’s media evidence he delivered on March 20th 2012.

Oddly, while Benjamin Crump claims to have received parental permission prior to the 3/19/12 phone call, he never asked her last name – nor documented the names of the parents he claims gave permission for the phone interview.

The phone interview held on 3/19/12 was also attended by ABC’s Matt Gutman, who was not allowed to ask questions and only afforded the option of listening to the conversation between her and Ben Crump.

However, following the 3/19/12 exchange, according to Matt Gutman he had follow up contact, and at least two more conversations with this witness after the introduction by Crump.    Gutman also reported her age, independently, to be 16.  However, Gutman would not affirm the hospital narrative, instead choosing to attach that claim to Crump.  Meaning Gutman never documented in his reporting his own first hand knowledge of it.

It is now factually known, the ear-witness brought to the State of Florida, by Benjamin Crump on April 2nd 2012, who formed the basis for the Probable Cause Affidavit – which led to the arrest – was, in actuality, 18 years old (now 19), was never in the hospital, and did not author the letter claimed as her statement.

Three GLARING contradictions from the initial narrative.

The disparity behind her age discrepancy has never been reconciled by either Crump or the prosecutors.   This, despite the State of Florida supporting the initial 16 year old story to the initial trial judge, Lester, when they were seeking early special protections surrounding her identity.   An age verification they later retracted (Oct 2012) but yet never reconciled.

The disparity behind her hospital stay was explained away, one day before he deposition by the defense, as her lying because she was ashamed to have not attended the funeral; AND, most surprisingly of all, that Trayvon’s Mom, Sybrina Fulton, was present beside her during the first interview with FDLE.

The disparity behind her not authoring the initial statement given to the media as evidence of her value has never been explained or even questioned.

Most alarming of it all is perhaps the reality the State of Florida never asked her for physical confirmation of her identity during that first 4/2/12 interview with police.  They never asked for id when they took her recorded statement.    Hence, fortunately this provides the plausible deniability to claim to have been snookered about her age until later.

But something about the State of Florida asking her to fly to Jacksonville in August (2012), together with the original author of the statement letter from March (Francine) lends one to believe this disparity, and need to get to the bottom of it, was the reason for her travel.

Obviously the State had reason to inquire further about either A.) her, or B.) the events she was describing; and if it were only about her statement, then why ask for the 3/16/12 author (Francine) to also accompany her?

Such issues and reconciliations lie at the heart of the request to depose the original person who introduced this witness, Benjamin Crump.

Additionally, there is a major back-and-forth between the Prosecution and the Defense regarding testimony of the 911 cries for help.    The State says they have witnesses who can identify the voice as Trayvon, the Defense claims they can provide witnesses who can identify the voice as George Zimmerman.    However, both concede their witnesses cannot be 100% sure.

Hence the recent motion by O’Mara to conduct a special hearing on this aspect of witness testimony itself:
