The girlfriend, DeeDee, has credibility problems now; claiming that she was 16 when she was 18 and lying when she said that the reason she didn't attend Trayvon's funeral was because she was in the hospital. These lies are now on record.
So, whatever she says that Travyon told her on the the phone could be subject to doubt by the jurors.
I don't know if she was just scared/confused or being led to lie by someone else, but she also seems very slow-minded.
I think O'Mara will rip her to shreds on cross examination. If so, it's a blow to the state's case because there were no other eye or ear witnesses before the shooting, except the 911 operator and George Zimmerman.
Zimmerman also now has on-the-record credibility problems because, per his jailhouse direction, his wife lied under oath about their financial assets/donations during his bond hearing. She's being prosecuted for perjury.
So, hoping the forensic evidence and time line can be pieced together to tell the story of what actually happened that night.
