Merry Christmas, Private Slovik. Ben Kruidbos, a state attorney's office employee has been fired after testifying about concerns that prosecutors didn't turn over photos and text messages from Trayvon Martin's cell phone to the defense in George Zimmerman's murder case. The prosecution acted unethically by suppressing the existence of unflattering photos and text messages found on Trayvon Martin's cell phone. Kruidbos said that 2,958 photos were in the report given to the defense but that his report contained 4,275 photos. Through his attorney, Wesley White, Kruidbos informed Zimmerman's defense team that the information existed. Kruidbos received a termination letter Thursday accusing him of misconduct and ‘violating numerous state attorney's office policies and procedures.’
Don't hold your breath waiting for ethical violation charges to be brought against the prosecution team. So Martin liked to blow a little weed and traffic in firearms what's the big deal? He had his Skittles and iced tea and was, like Thomas Wolfe, just trying to go home.
Whatever faith the public may have had that the prosecution team headed by Angela Corey was remotely competent and was honestly seeking the truth has been undermined by its behavior. Corey has sat with the Martin family during the trial, has threatened libel suits against a Florida newspaper and Harvard University for remarks by Alan Dershowitz to the effect that she is
unethical, corrupt, and politically motivated.
