   George Zimmerman's lawyers have asked a judge to require   
   Benjamin Crump, the attorney for Trayvon Martin's family, to   
   answer questions under oath, despite a 15-page affidavit he   
   filed last week, hoping to avoid that face-to-face exchange.   
      
   In paperwork made public today, defense attorney Donald West   
   asked Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson to again order Crump to   
   appear for a deposition and answer questions about an interview   
   he conducted of the state's most important witness, a young   
   woman who spoke to Trayvon moments before he was shot.   
      
   In a separate development, attorneys in the case have set a   
   hastily-scheduled hearing for 4 p.m. tomorrow to discuss whether   
   Zimmerman's "stand your ground" hearing, at which he's expected   
   to ask for immunity, should be delayed.   
      
   In October the judge ordered that it be concluded by April 26   
   and that Zimmerman stand trial on June 10. At a hearing last   
   week, defense attorney Mark O'Mara argued that he needed more   
   time, but the judge said no to his request for a trial delay.   
      
   At tomorrow's hearing, which the defendant will not attend, it's   
   expected that O'Mara will ask for a delay in the "stand your   
   ground" hearing. In paperwork filed yesterday, the defense   
   attorney asked to discuss its timing.   
      
   As for Crump, at an Oct. 19 hearing, the judge ordered him to   
   answer a very limited number of questions about a recorded   
   interview he made of a young Miami woman who was on the phone   
   with Trayvon just before he was killed.   
      
   The judge directed Crump to list who was present for that   
   interview, which took place March 19 in a Miami-area home, and   
   she told him to provide Zimmerman's lawyers with a clearer copy   
   of the recording.   
      
   Crump had been scheduled for deposition Feb. 5, but at a hearing   
   that morning, the judge postponed it indefinitely to give her   
   and attorneys time to read the just-filed affidavit.   
      
   In it, Crump gives the names of many of the people who were   
   present when the call was recorded but not all. His affidavit   
   says he had earlier disclosed a complete list of those present   
   to defense attorneys.   
      
   His affidavit also offers an explanation about why the quality   
   of the recording was so poor.   
      
   The young woman was not in the room; she was on the other end of   
   a cell phone call; she was on "speaker phone"; and Crump had a   
   bad connection and kept switching cell phones, according to his   
   affidavit.   
      
   Crump attorney Bruce Blackwell said on Feb. 5 that he would not   
   produce Crump for a deposition without a court order.   
      
   Yesterday, West filed a motion, asking for that order.   
      
   "Mr. Crump's lengthy and often detailed affidavit illustrates   
   that Mr. Crump does have information relevant to the offense   
   charged and is therefore subject to the rule governing   
   depositions of unlisted witnesses," West wrote.   
      
   Since her Oct. 19 order, prosecutors have provided Zimmerman's   
   attorneys with a new, more audible version of that recording,   
   although, they complain the words are still hard to make out.   
      
   The 18-year-old woman at the center of dispute was interviewed   
   by Assistant State Attorney Bernie de la Rionda April 2 in   
   Jacksonville and gave him the same general account as she told   
   Crump.   
      
   Trayvon is the unarmed black 17-year-old killed by Zimmerman, a   
   29-year-old Neighborhood Watch volunteer, in Sanford Feb. 26.   
      
   He is awaiting trial on a charge of second-degree murder. He   
   says he acted in self-defense.   
      
   A neighbor called 911 a few seconds before the shooting, and a   
   voice can be heard in the background screaming for help.   
      
   Trayvon's mother told authorities that the voice was Trayvon's.   
   Zimmerman says it is him.   
      
   In another case development, Zimmerman's attorneys have asked   
   the judge to issue subpoenas to Trayvon's parents, brother and   
   cousin for all recordings they have of Trayvon's voice from   
   2010, '11 and '12.   
      
   They filed a similar request Monday for recordings in the   
   possession of the young Miami woman, identified in court records   
   as "witness 8."

   No.  Shoot the liberals immediately so they can't stab you in   
   the back while you are defending yourself, then return a
