George Zimmerman's defense team on Monday asked Circuit Judge Debra Nelson to reconsider a request to question Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Trayvon Martin's family, in a deposition.
At a hearing last month, Nelson rejected the Zimmerman attorneys' previous request for a deposition of Crump, who last March conducted an interview with the state's key "Witness 8," who says she was on the phone with the 17-year-old in the moments before his fatal encounter with Zimmerman.
The new motion is based on a recent disclosure that the witness falsely claimed she was hospitalized after the shooting. The defense now argues that her credibility is in question, so learning what Crump knows is all the more important.
"Now that Witness 8's credibility is at issue because of this contradictory and possibly perjurious testimony, deposing Mr. Crump is even more necessary and relevant for further determination of additional misrepresentation of lies, to document further bases for impeachment of Witness 8, and other necessary matters," the motion says.
