Is he or isn’t he? The state is demanding answers.

DETAILS: Justice For Trayvon: Prosecutors Will Call George Zimmerman’s Wife, Brother, & Mother To Witness Stand 

Before he goes to trial for the second-degree murder case, Florida wants to know for sure if George Zimmerman will claim immunity from prosecution in the shooting of Trayvon Martin. After his defense attorney, Mark O’Mara, told the judge he wouldn’t need the two weeks the judge had set aside for a “Stand Your Ground” hearing, prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda is filing a motion to ask Circuit Judge Debra Nelson to conduct a full inquiry to Zimmerman to confirm whether he’s really waiving the hearing or not.

According to the Orlando Sentinel:

De la Rionda says Zimmerman needs to make up his mind: The state opposes combining the hearing and trial and doesn’t want Zimmerman to be able to claim immunity after trial, if he’s convicted.

De la Rionda’s filing suggests the motion will be addressed at a hearing next week: He asked that Zimmerman attend, likely so the judge could question him.

The state also filed notices indicating prosecutors deposed Zimmerman’s parents, his brother and several of his friends last week in Sanford, where Zimmerman’s trial is set to begin June 10.

Earlier, before O’Mara denied the two weeks that were set aside for the hearing, he was super vocal in asserting that [Zimmerman] would be making a self-defense claim and would request a hearing, the motion notes.

Looks like nobody knows for sure…yet. But we’re staying tuned.
