Yesterday the defense posted three new attachments to the George Zimmerman defense. The first was a motion to the 5th District Court of Appeal stating the defense response to Benjamin Crump’s attachment to the State of Florida’s response to the Writ of Certiorari filed by Mark O’Mara. The second was the actual reply to Benjamin Crump’s position.

The Third, and more important of the filings, was the reply to the District Court directly to the State of Florida’s position as asserted by Florida Attorney General, Pam Bondi:

It should not take long for the Fifth District to rule on the request for Writ. Hanging on the decision is the actual deposition of Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump. The ruling could go either way, depending on what legal authority your talk to – this one seems to be a toss-up.   The considerations in both directions are filled with legal wonk-speak.

However, if O’Mara wins, and the Fifth DCA rules in his favor, then future rulings from Judge Nelson will be of particular interest. Followers of the case would objectively assert that Nelson’s rulings, so far, have been favorable to the State prosecution team.

A Writ to override her ruling of no deposition for Scheme Team Leader, Benjamin Crump, by the appellate court, may cause her pause moving forward.

At the very least it may further offend her already delicate sensibilities.
