Key deposition sought in Trayvon Martin case
http://www.centurylink.net/news/read...popular_viewed
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — A judge says the attorney for Trayvon Martin's parents does not have to give a deposition to George Zimmerman's attorney.
Defense attorneys for the former neighborhood watch leader accused of fatally shooting Martin are seeking to obtain a deposition from a witness who says she was on the phone with the teenager before he was killed.
Zimmerman's lead attorney, Mark O'Mara, wants to question the woman known as Witness 8..............

State Task Force Sticks By 'Stand Your Ground'
http://www.wctv.tv/home/headlines/St...192639271.html
........The 45-page report ultimately recommended to keep the law. In it's core findings, the panel stated "All persons who are conducting themselves in a lawful manner have a fundamental right to stand their ground and defend themselves from attack with proportionate force in ever place they have a lawful right to be."..........
The report did recommend some tweaks. They would like to see legislators review standards for neighborhood watch groups, including telling volunteers not to pursue potential suspects.

Teenage witness in Trayvon Martin case 'lied' about hospital visit, lawyer says
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/03/06...ntcmp=trending
The case of the Florida man accused of fatally shooting unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin last year took two twists Tuesday at a monthly hearing attended by attorneys on both sides of the case.............
MyFoxOrlando.com reports defense attorney Mark O'Mara, who is representing the alleged shooter George Zimmerman, was seeking medical records for Martin's girlfriend.................
"And that [prosecutor] Mr. [John] Guy represented there would not be hospital records confirming her sworn statement, because, in fact, she lied."
Guy confirmed there were no hospital records for Witness 8............
O'Mara also said he won't need the two weeks a judge previously set aside for an immunity hearing under the state's controversial self-defense law, though the issue could be folded into the trial.
O'Mara previously stated that he hopes to wrap the "stand your ground" hearing into Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial, scheduled for June 10. He said that could still possibly happen and the judge has said she is open to it..............

Chief witness in Trayvon Martin case lied under oath
http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/06/us/flo....html?iref=NS1
The state's chief witness in the Trayvon Martin murder case lied under oath, prosecutors say.
The young woman who says she was on the phone with Martin when he encountered George Zimmerman lied about her whereabouts at another time, the prosecution told a judge Tuesday.
The woman, whose name has not been released, had told prosecutors that she was in the hospital on the day of Martin's funeral. The defense then sought her medical records.

Jose Baez: Evidence 'so weak' in George Zimmerman case
By Hal Boedeker, Staff writer, 9:02 a.m. EDT, March 10, 2013
Jose Baez turned analyst on the George Zimmerman case and gave viewers of preview of what they might see in coming months.
“I have never seen a high-profile case that is so weak as the Zimmerman case,” Baez told Lauren Rowe on WKMG-Channel 6’s “Flashpoint.” The program aired Sunday morning.
Baez said he based his view on the evidence and not on his representing Chris Serino, the lead Sanford police investigator in the case. “I just think looking at the overall case, it’s extremely weak,” Baez said. “I had that opinion from very early on in the case.”
...
Baez cited several reasons for his take on the Zimmerman evidence: The only eyewitness says that Martin was on top during the fight, and Zimmerman told law enforcement he was screaming for help during the fight, a point backed up by a 911 tape.
But Baez refused to predict an ending. “You can’t call this one without letting it play out,” he said. “You just never know what’s going to happen. You can’t call it. Trials are not scripted events.”

Trayvon Martin targets: Fired cop fires back, saying it's a conspiracy (+video)
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice...nspiracy-video
First, a police sergeant in a Florida department only an hour away from where Trayvon Martin was killed gets fired for allegedly bringing targets that resembled Trayvon to a shooting range.
Now, the officer has responded in an online video, suggesting that he brought the pictures as a "no-shoot training aid," and that he might be a pawn in a broader conspiracy to bring down the chief of the Port Canaveral Police Department...............

George Zimmerman won't have pre-trial 'stand your ground' hearing
Quote:
During the hearing, Zimmerman was questioned under oath by Circuit Judge Debra Nelson. The state had asked the judge to demand an answer from Zimmerman about whether he was waiving his right to a "stand your ground" hearing.
Over O'Mara's protestations, Nelson questioned Zimmerman, asking if he had made the decision to waive his right to a pre-trial immunity hearing.
"After consultation with my counsel, yes, your honor," Zimmerman replied.

George Zimmerman won't seek immunity hearing
http://www.centurylink.net/news/read...KNWU00L3_UNEWS
SANFORD, Florida (AP) — The former neighborhood watch leader charged with fatally shooting a Florida teenager told a judge Tuesday that he agrees with his defense attorneys' decision not to seek an immunity hearing under the state's "Stand Your Ground" self-defense law.
Under questioning from Circuit Judge Debra Nelson, George Zimmerman repeatedly said "yes" to a series of questions asking if he was aware he was giving up the right to a hearing before his second-degree murder trial in June. A judge would have sole discretion in an immunity hearing to decide if Zimmerman is exempt from culpability in the shooting. A jury would make the determination in the murder trial.............

Zimmerman waives right to 'stand your ground' hearing ahead of Trayvon Martin trial
http://www.freep.com/article/2013043...n-Martin-trial
4/30/13
Prosecutors and defense lawyers in the case against the man charged with murdering Trayvon Martin squared off in a pre-trial hearing today in Orlando.
Under oath, defendant George Zimmerman waived his right to a self-defense hearing prior to his trial. Zimmerman told Circuit Judge Debra Nelson that he understood Florida's self-defense laws, that he had talked to his lawyers about the stand-your-ground statute, and that he has decided not to have a pre-trial immunity hearing.
The questioning confirmed that Zimmerman has waived his right to an immunity hearing before the trial but leaves open the option to have a hearing later....more at link........
