SANFORD, Fla. -

An appellate court ruled on Monday that George Zimmerman's attorneys can depose Benjamin Crump, the family attorney of Trayvon Martin.

The court said the defense can ask about "circumstances surrounding the interview of Witness 8," the young woman Martin was speaking to on the phone just before Zimmerman shot and killed him.

In its unanimous opinion, the three-judge panel from the Fifth District Court of Appeal said, "the deposition contemplated by our opinion should be relatively short and straightforward."

A judge had originally said attorneys couldn't question Crump, who is representing the family of Martin.

Meanwhile, Zimmerman’s defense team wants “certain witnesses” to be granted anonymity and confidentiality, as the judge prepares for the final hearings before his trial in the death of Martin.

The defense did not elaborate on its “sealed confidential motion” to keep witnesses identities from the public, according to the

The motion is among three issues set to be heard by Judge Debra Nelson, beginning Thursday.

Also on the agenda: a hearing to determine if a state expert is using generally accepted scientific principles to claim he can discern not only who is speaking in the background of a 911 call, but also the exact words being uttered.

The judge will also continue an inquiry into whether prosecutors lied when they told her in March they had turned over to the defense all material they had gleaned from Martin’s cell phone. The defense is seeking sanctions for what they claim were discovery violations.

The developments come as 500 Seminole County residents prepare to appear next week in response to jury summonses.

The first 100 potential jurors are being asked to appear Monday, June 10.

If you are talking about the attorneys that mis characterized one picture, and went public and said they had made a mistake.

Seems like to me you make a mistake you admit it. in fact it's a very ethical thing to do. Probably speaks volumes about their character.

Now.. if we can get some straight answers instead of the repeated lies about Benghazi, IRS, EPA, and the Justice department scandals we could start restoring civil liberties as a country and take a step back from totalitarianism.

It looks like he is saying something else... best I can make out is, "So, (something) you!"

They lied in an effort to turn public opinion against the victim of the crime for which the perp will stand trial starting soon. They were laboring to poison the jury pool. That was no mistake, that was what they wanted to do. And they got caught in their lie and had to admit it.

What lies? The lies the Republicans tried to fabricate by altering emails from the executive branch?

It's a deposition. That means attorneys and a court reporter sit in a room with the witness. No judge is present, and the testimony may or may not be allowed in court, and usually only as evidence of prior testimony during cross examination.

I know what a deposition is, and I know what 'to depose' means.

I stand by what I wrote, originally.

Depose--The act of lawyers finding a way to bill for many hours while they make you think they are really sticking it to the other side.

Used in a sentence--

The lawyer deposed everyone of his friends in the divorce case and was able to bill her for an additional 100 hours plus costs.

no, he was just a cute little 12 year old boy, if we believe the pictures they showed for 3 weeks, before the pictures of an unapologetic thug came out.
