Following a judge's ruling allowing its release, prosecutors just made public testimony from an anonymous witness in the case of George Zimmerman who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old, in February as well as phone calls Zimmerman made from jail.
According to WFTV, the witness (known as "Witness 9" accuses Zimmerman of molesting her, and claims that Zimmerman's family is racist:
Witness No. 9 not only said that Zimmerman is a racist, but during an interview with investigators, she stated that Zimmerman molested her from the age of 6 on through her teenaged years, according to the documents.
The witness claims that Zimmerman's entire family is racist and said Zimmerman's mother made it clear she didn't like President Barack Obama because he is black.

(36,988 posts)'Witness 9' tells prosecutors Zimmerman molested her for years
A woman told authorities that while they were children, murder suspect George Zimmerman sexually molested her for a decade, according to prosecution records released today.
The woman, identified only as "witness 9," said the abuse started when she was six and ended when she was 16. Zimmerman, she said, is about two years older than her.
Her accusation was a bombshell but likely would have no impact at Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial because it's not relevant, lawyers said.
It is part of a new set of evidence released Monday morning by Special Prosecutor Angela Corey. She today released witness 9's statement plus 120 recorded jail phone calls made by Zimmerman when he was in the Seminole County Jail.
