Zimmerman Prosecutor Also Deceived Court?

Corey seems to believe that our criminal justice system is like a poker game in
which the prosecution is entitled to show its cards only after the judge has
decided to charge the defendant with second degree murder.

That’s not
the way the system is supposed to work and that’s not the way prosecutors are
supposed to act. That a prosecutor would hide behind the claim that she did not
have an obligation to tell the whole truth until after the judge ruled on
probable cause displays a kind of gamesmanship in which prosecutors should not
engage.

The prisons, both in Florida and throughout the United States,
are filled with felons who submitted sworn statements that contained misleading
half truths. Corey herself has probably prosecuted such cases.


Ironically, Corey has now succeeded in putting Zimmerman back in prison
for a comparably misleading omission in his testimony. His failure to disclose
money received from a PayPal account requesting donations for his legal defense
made his testimony misleadingly incomplete.

In her motion to revoke his
bail, Corey argued that Zimmerman “intentionally deceived the court” by making
“false representations.” The same can be said about prosecutor Corey. She too
misled and deceived the court by submitting an affidavit that relied on a review
of photographs and other reports that showed injuries to Zimmerman, without
disclosing the existence of these highly relevant injuries.
