George Zimmerman’s lawsuit saga is unfolding though the Florida court system in the form of depositions and a powerful but little known tool called “Requests for Admissions.”
Under Florida Law, a plaintiff can submit a list of up to 30 questions, each beginning, “Admit that you….” Under penalty of perjury, the defendant must either admit or deny each statement. If the defendant doesn’t bother to answer any of the questions, the court assumes that they are admitted as true.
In the way of background, Zimmerman is charging that Trayvon Martin’s support team, including Martin’s parents and their attorney Benjamin Crump, knowingly substituted an imposter witness for the real “phone witness” in order to secure Zimmerman’s arrest for the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman and his attorney Larry Klayman were inspired to launch the suit based on the research of filmmaker Joel Gilbert, as seen in his documentary film and book of the same name, “The Trayvon Hoax: Unmasking the Witness Fraud that Divided America.”
Among the eleven defendants in this case, arguably the most vulnerable are the prosecutors who brought it, former state attorney Angela Corey and former assistant state attorneys Bernie de la Rionda and John Guy. Corey and de la Rionda have both since retired, and Guy is now a sitting Florida judge.
In reading through their respective responses, one gets the sense that Corey and Guy are setting up lead prosecutor de la Rionda for the fall. Corey, for one, has washed her hands of all responsibility. She replied to each of the questions with the same answer, “COREY is unable to admit or deny the statement… as her involvement in this case was very limited, such that, she does not have personal knowledge of the information requested.” read more
I don’t particularly care about Zimmerman one way or the other as a person, but I hope he wins this and wins big because if those prosecutors get away with this they will be able to do the same to anyone they want, for any reason they contrive, and without respect for either facts or law with no fear of any penalties for doing it.
That means they could go after any of us just as easily and unaccountably as they did Zimmerman.
If this really happened they should hang those three as an example to others
“…she does not have personal knowledge of the information requested.”
Different form, same content. “I do not recall the event or circumstance you are referring to”. I.E., “I don’t remember.”
Hopefully, conventional discovery with recovery of emails, texts and written memorandum will at least be useful for perjury charges.
I’m no fan of George, but he was hard used by people with power.
Whenever I want to piss off the Libtards down here(there are many)
I always tell Them that Our Local Gun Club is having George as a
Guest Speaker…and that it is a $75 a Plate Function….SOLD OUT!!
They tryed to burn him to the ground for the crime of not having his head completely smashed in, while he was heading to his car. This could of been any of us. Has he always made good decisions sence? No? I don’t care. Who has? But this is fantastic. The left needs to be paid back big time for what they did. Including NBC for the 911 phone edit. I believe st.Travon would of killed him. Then, there is juicy.
And the lame stream media race baiters will fire up the riot gun again because “Saint Skittles” was a stupid, drugged out hood rat.
She should hang
Don’t you love how prosecutors force a defendant to “swear to tell the truth, etc. etc. so help me God” however court officers feel they have no requirement to do so themselves.
How are they any different from a lying, scumbag criminal, really?
