Trayvon Martin family lawyer Benjamin Crump accused of lying to court

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Things are really starting to spiral out of control for the prosecution. Starting to be hints of perjury and lying to court. It is becoming painfully obvious that Dee Dee was found, coached, edited, and most of what she says is contradictory, and at many times just plain false.

It also appears that Crump edited out parts of her statement. I am sure the prosecution is now thinking. Oh ####### I will go down in history as the guy who prosecuted this goat rope. Mr. Crump might be charged soon. Dee Dee would be charged with perjury in a normal world, but I bet she gets a pass.

FLORIDA, June 27, 2013 — Prosecutors embarked on a rocky road yesterday in their quest to prove neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman guilty of second-degree murder.

In February of last year, unarmed seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin was fatally shot by Zimmerman, who claims that this was done in self-defense. Since then, Martin’s history of truancy, firearms-related issues, and handling marijuana — among other things — has come to light.

After a special prosecutor was commissioned, Zimmerman was charged and is now standing trial.

Evidence suggests that Zimmerman suffered head injuries the night Martin died, though exactly how and why remains a mystery. What is certain, however, is that the shooting’s aftermath has been highly polarizing. It has also drawn considerable attention to the oft-overlooked central Florida port city of Sanford, where the shooting took place.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Rachel Jeantel — who is supposedly “the state’s star witness” — had a difficult time on the stand. She was in a telephone conversation with Martin until the moments leading up to his death.

Journalists Renee Stutzman and Jeff Weiner write that she testified to Martin calling the man following him a “crazy-### cracker”. Martin eventually moved so close to the man that Jeantel was able to discern the man ask, “What are you doing around here?”

She then “heard a “bump,” followed by something she described as “grass sound.” [Following this, Martin] said, “Get off. Get off,” then the phone went dead”.

What the Sentinel did not report is that Jeantel also testified to Martin calling the man a “***”.

Stutzman and Weiner go on to note that “Jeantel’s account … was nearly lost amid the problems and spectacle she created. She used street slang, was sometimes defiant and talked so fast and so softly that it was often impossible to make out her words.

“The court reporter interrupted her a dozen times, asking her to repeat herself. Jurors interrupted, too, although not as often, and stopped when Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson told them, “You can’t ask questions. If you can’t understand, just raise your hand.”

“They did.”

At The Conservative Tree House, a popular right-leaning blog which features very detailed coverage of the Zimmerman trial, something else was discussed.

It pertains to Benjamin Crump, who serves as counsel to Trayvon Martin’s parents. Since the shooting occurred, Crump has taken a highly public role. TCTH reports that he is “an identified, albeit unlisted, material witness in the case against George Zimmerman” due to “his specific and intentional engagement of Witness #8 … and her subsequent presentation to the State of Florida.”

Witness #8 is also known as Dee Dee, but her actual name is none other than Rachel Jeantel.

Sundance, the blogger behind the report, writes that Nelson has given Crump “special status, as co-counsel of sorts, for the prosecution” as she “ruled he was not subject to deposition by the defense”.

In order to avoid this deposition, Crump is said to have “provided the court with an affidavit affirming the recording he gave to the Zimmerman defense team was the full original copy of the audio recordings he made”.

An ABC News audio recording of Crump’s conversation with Witness #8 reveals inconsistencies with what was claimed in the affidavit.

Sundance says that Crump “lied” in the affidavit and “painstakingly prepped the witness, rehearsed the parts he wanted to record, gave her instructions on what to say….and intentionally cut out his instructions and interjections.”

Crump has yet to respond to these very serious allegations.

Whatever that response might be — if it is ever made, of course — Sundance holds that “what’s factually evident is the ABC recording shows Ben Crump’s affidavit to be false in its content and presentation.”

Indeed, the more one learns about the Trayvon Martin shooting’s aftermath, the less one seems to understand.

Such damming evidence and on a RW blog...oh this has to be true! GZ must go free now!

Shudder...

i like this 'related' article better..i had no idea that trayvon's dad was a crip. thank god for the conservative tree house!

One shows Martin posing with a crowd of people in which, according to the blog, a finger sign denoting Crips membership is visible. Another portrays him standing in a different crowd with a cityscape and raining dollar bills in the background.

In these photos, Martin himself is making some sort of hand sign. Other individuals photographed are doing the same. TCTH identified said signs as gang-related.

A different set of photos features Tracy Martin speaking at a press conference after his son’s death. In the first photo, a tattoo on the side of his neck spelling an undefinable term is readily apparent. A photo taken sometime later, though, reveals that this has been replaced with another tattoo. Rather than a word, two hands clasped in traditional prayer pose are present.

“Here is what happens after the media consultant tells you the financial reward can be better if you improve your image,” Sundance writes.

Crump was coaching Dee Dee? Bah. I think she just needed a better interpreter.

If she relaxed any more she'd be in a coma on the stand.

GZ will walk out a free man. I wonder how the racists will deal with it?

[Darnell 8,479]

My 2nd best guess? Sanford will be razed to the ground by the racists.

Don't worry a few more days and he will and this whole racist dog and pony show will be over

I have even heard on a radio broadcast tonight (OK it was Ukraine radio, so take that FWIW) that the defense will wait to see if they even "present a case"

Allowing for losses in translation and ignorance of the American justice system.........OK, you gotta love Ukraine radio, definitely part of the "texture"...I take this to mean that the defense is considering asking for the charges to be dismissed. Has anyone heard that in the US yet? I don't see anything in Yahoo news.

I doubt that would happen. This is becoming more and more clear that this is nothing but a puppet show. The racists demanded a trial and they are getting one. They insisted on the public destruction of TM and his parents.

But for all of those that wanted "justice" I am sure you are happy about this.
