Aside from confirming June 10th as the start date for the 2nd Degree murder trial, Judge Nelson also addressed the following today:
-Nelson approved a motion by Zimmerman's lawyer to subpoena credit card sales records from the 7-Eleven Trayvon visited the night he was killed.
-She also ordered de la Rionda (prosecutor) to reveal tests performed on the phone that investigators sent to California to get unlocked.
-Lawyers also had lengthy arguments about Witness 8, who claims she was on the phone with Trayvon as the confrontation between him and Zimmerman started. Nelson ruled that Witness 8 can be asked about her Twitter handle before she gives a deposition to the defense but that any other questions must be posed during her deposition.
-In addition, a scheduled deposition of Crump (Martin family attorney) was postponed after a lawyer he hired entered into evidence a 15-page affidavit explaining how Crump found and interacted with Witness 8. Nelson said she and the lawyers for both sides will read the affidavit and determine whether any more information is needed.
