Conjunto de audición para los registros de medios sociales de Trayvon

George Zimmerman‘s attorneys will ask a judge to allow them to subpoena Trayvon Martin‘s school and social-media records at a hearing next week.

Zimmerman’s defense has asked for subpoenas for records from the teenager’s middle and high schools, as well as his Twitter and Facebook accounts. A hearing has been set for Oct. 19.

immerman, 29, fatally shot the Miami Gardens 17-year-old Feb. 26 en Sanford. Authorities allege he profiled and pursued the teen.

Zimmerman says he fired in self-defense after Trayvon attacked him. Zimmerman’s defense is also asking for a continuance. In a motion, the defense team writes that “at least 50-75” witness depositions must be completed in the case before it will be ready for trial.

The defense team also submitted its response to a filing by the state, que se refiere a las solicitudes de los registros escolares de Trayvon como “expedición de pesca.”

Benjamin Crump, un abogado de la familia de Trayvon, dijo el lunes que los registros escolares y la página de Facebook son irrelevantes para la matanza.

En una de las varias presentaciones nuevas, abogado defensor Mark O'Mara escribe que las peticiones son parte de un “bien pensado plan para centrarse en la información potencialmente relevante y admisible.”

O'Mara también tomó nota de que el Estado ha recopilado los registros de la escuela secundaria de Zimmerman de Manassas, Va. “Sin embargo,, cuando se solicitan los mismos documentos exactos sobre Trayvon Martin, Estado denigra la solicitud como una expedición de pesca,” O'Mara escribe. “La ironía es rico.”

En un tercer nuevo movimiento, O’Mara asked to be allowed to review the court’s copy of a recorded law-enforcement interview of a woman identified as “Witness 9.” That witness, in two interviews made public in the case already, accused Zimmerman of disliking black people and of molesting her when they were both young.

O’Mara writes in his motion that the state failed several times to provide him with a working copy of a third Witness 9 entrevista, and he wants to know whether Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester Jr. received a bad copy, también. Zimmerman “requests the opportunity to review, with the court, the recordings … to ascertain whether or not the Court received an accurate recording as finally disclosed by the State … or if the Court received an inaccurate or inaudible recording, as the defense has received up until” el último intercambio de pruebas en septiembre. 19.

Las mociones serán oídos por el juez de circuito Debra Nelson, quien recientemente se hizo cargo del caso. Lester se vio obligado a recusarse a sí mismo después de haber escrito en un orden que Zimmerman había mostrado “flagrante desprecio por el sistema judicial.”
