walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[HairOfTheDog]

But, but, but everyone keeps telling me witness 8 isn't going to matter to the case...

I'm glad that O'Mara finally deposed her.

Based on what I've read from her, I think she's slow. I can't tell what she really heard on the phone or if she was influenced.

There are no eyewitnesses as to who started the altercation. Only this Witness 8 ear witness to Travyon's perception of what was going on before it went down, and people nearby who heard or saw Travyon and Zimmerman during or after the altercation.

Every witness's credibility will be questioned, as usual. I don't know who's saying that Witness 8 isn't important to the case; remains to be seen, imo. She could be very important, both sides are focused on her. If she's called, it's not clear to me that she'll help or hurt either side, I don't think she's a strong witness based on what I've read.

If she's called, I think that she might get ripped apart during cross and be rendered irrelevant if she's not clear or firm in what she heard. If that happens, it could ultimately hurt the prosecution.

IDK. Zimmerman and his brother did media interviews and his team has been heavy with social media regarding the case. Crump interviewed DeeDee for the media. I'm more interested in their testimony on the stand.
