George Zimmerman’s legal defense team has responded to the order released today regarding his proposed docket signing date.
STORY: George Zimmerman’s Trial Date Is Coming!
As reported by gzlegalcase.com:
We filed our Motion to Continue because there is still a great deal of information to be gathered regarding this case, and we are in the early stages of preparing our reciprocal discovery — a process that can take a few months — and it is simply too early in the process to set firm trial dates.
This motion is consistent with a rough timeline for defending Mr. Zimmerman that we described in a release dated June 1, a timeline that includes: drafting discovery requests and working through potential resistance; deposing more than 50 potential witnesses and experts; and filing appropriate motions (including a potential “stand your ground” motion).
Moreover, since our June 1 statement, a number of issues, including the revocation of Mr. Zimmerman’s bond and our Motion to Disqualify Trial Judge, have added to the complexity of the defense process.
Zimmerman’s legal defense team expects more motions to be filed and anticipates that the case will not be ready for trial until early next year.
