State's main witness in George Zimmerman murder case lied
SANFORD — Trayvon Martin's girlfriend, the state's most important witness in the George Zimmerman murder case, was caught in a lie, it was revealed Tuesday.

It was not the first piece of misinformation tied to her, but it was the most damaging to date and left prosecutors in a very awkward position.

They had to publicly acknowledge that their star witness had lied under oath and had to answer questions about what they intend to do about it.

Reporters asked: Will you charge the 19-year-old Miami woman with perjury?

The state's lead prosecutor, Bernie de la Rionda, gave an ambiguous answer: "You can all read the law and make your own decision."

The woman had told prosecutors she was in the hospital on the day of Trayvon's funeral.

"In fact, she lied," defense attorney Don West said.

The disclosure was one of two major developments Tuesday at what had been expected to be a dull hearing about the exchange of case evidence.

Defense attorney Mark O'Mara later said he had not yet decided whether to scrap it entirely or roll it into Zimmerman's second-degree-murder trial set for June 10.

"Our real focus is getting ready for the trial," O'Mara said.

What Zimmerman most wants is to be tried by a jury of his peers, O'Mara said, and with fewer than 100 days until trial, "There's only time for one hearing, and that's a jury trial. … We have precious little time."

If defense lawyers decide to forgo George Zimmerman's immunity hearing, they would be cutting in half their number of opportunities to spare him from a life in prison.

Zimmerman, a 29-year-old former Neighborhood Watch volunteer, called Sanford police Feb. 26, 2012, describing Trayvon as suspicious. Zimmerman shot the unarmed high-school junior a few minutes later, saying he fired in self-defense after the Miami Gardens 17-year-old punched him, broke his nose, then began pounding his head onto a sidewalk.

Shocking I tell ya. Shocking!

They will have the hearing just before the trial. This is a ploy to give as little time as possible to the state to rebut the defense after they lay their case on the table in the SYG hearing.

And watch, he will be acquitted and since the majority of brain dead morons in this country don't read stories like this, there will be riots.

Note that the article also skips over the other extremely important part. Crump, the attorney for Trayvon's utterly disassociated parents, claimed that this witness was 16 years old when she gave her audio-witness report over the phone (so he could then back off any inconvenient facts later without legal repercussions...) He also had he court ensure that she could not be interviewed by the press or the defense due to her minor status.

But it was a lie. She was 18 at the time, lied about going to the hospital (which was coached of course) because she did not attend the funeral. Her Twitter and Facebook posts post-shooting were completely normal and only mentioned Trayvon's death once in a passing fashion.

Now keep in mind that it was her supposed-testimony that kept the police from dropping charges completely, as they were about to do.

Sigh.

If true, that should be grounds for disbarment and/or imprisonment.

yep; like I hinted at... it's not their first lie.

Oh well; NBC already has George guilty; they will alter a 911 tape to advance their political slant.

Yup

And once Zimmerman is found NG he should sue Obama for his comments. Since it was Obama's fake son and all. He should definitely sue Skittles.

If skittles were made available in high capacity magazines, Treyvon may have had a fighting chance.

From what I've been led to believe, a president can't be sued for anything.

Ever.

I could be wrong, but I'm too lazy/drinking to look it up.
