I am going to have to take on extra staff to gather all the DAFT posts elsewhere as Traybots go postal!!!

BOMBSHELL indeed

Bombshell @ page 21 of the DCA petition to depose Crump:

"Out of the 25-minute clear recording ABC News took of the interview, ABC has
only preserved the 5-minute clip referenced supra."

Evidence destruction, much?

Unfortunately, I think it will be denied based on Bill Kasper Const. Co., Inc. v. Morrison, 93 So. 3d 1061 (Fla. 5th DCA 2012). O'Mara cites several cases allowing an interlocutory appeal of a discovery denial, but Bill Kasper Const. Co., Inc. v. Morrison seem to me to explicitly recede from them.

Hopefully they make an exception for the purpose of ripping Crump the new one that he so richly deserves. Maybe something like "however in the instant case, where petitioner has made a prima facie showing of witness tampering and obstruction of justice. . . ."

Today's getting better and better.

John_Galt,

And then what would happen?

BDLR: I didn't read the deposition notices.

Powerful stuff, Bernie. No Shakespeare for the occasion?

To Read or Not To Read, that is the Question.

I think Zimmerman should win based on the waiver argument alone. I also don't think Crump comes close to being an "opposing counsel" in the case. In a criminal case, there are two parties: the Defendant and the State. Crump represents the family of the deceased -- that shouldn't make him opposing counsel. Nor does he represent Witness 8. Even if he were "opposing counsel, O'Mara explains why that doesn't prevent his deposition from being taken on the Witness 8 issue.

There's a new revelation: ABC's Matt Gutman recorded the entire Witness 8 interview but destroyed all but the five minute segment missing from Crump's recording that surfaced a few weeks ago.

Is this why Mara hasn't set his motion to subpoena ABC's recording for hearing? Because ABC has told him the only portion retained was the 5 minute clip available on its website? What about the clips from Gutman's other interviews with Witness 8, aired during ABC broadcasts?

Also, apparently O'Mara has not yet conducted the continuation of Witness 8's deposition.

My opinion: Crump has been burning both ends of the candle for far too long. It's time for the court to snuff out the flame on one end. If he wants to play investigator, share his results with the public, and make grand public announcements that state officers and officials have lied, and George Zimmerman is guilty of cold-blooded murder, he shouldn't be allowed to play hide and go seek when asked to provide information as to the reliability of his claims. He made the decision to go public with his dubious claims, which were relied on by the state in filing charges against Zimmerman. He filed an affidavit, parts of which are either mistakenly or intentionally inaccurate. Whatever privilege he might have had as to Witness 8 by virtue of his representing the Martin family had he not gone public, should be deemed waived. He has made himself a witness, and neither the attorney-client nor work-product privilege should protect him.

"Destroyed" is so harsh. MOM said "only preserved the 5-minute clip" like maybe they left it uncovered and the rest of it evaporated or melted or something.
