The state attorney is now weighing in on George Zimmerman’s push to question Trayvon Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump.

A judge ruled earlier that Zimmerman’s attorneys could not question Crump before the trial. The defense wants to ask Crump, under oath, more about witness number eight, the young woman believed to be Trayvon’s girlfriend. Zimmerman’s defense team appealed the judge’s ruling.

Now, in a new 41 page legal response, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is asking the appeals court to agree with the judge’s decision, and to not allow the defense to question Crump in a deposition.
