It is clear that this is now an established tactic and Zimmerman knew what he was doing. http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2013/11/george_zimmermans_recent_dispu.html


From his experience in the Trayvon Martin case, it's clear that Zimmerman knew his 911 call would be both a powerful evidentiary and public relations tool, says Ken LaMance of San Francisco, general counsel for LegalMatch.com.

"So it's almost as if he's making statement about the case beforehand -- especially if he's not planning on testifying in the future" says LaMance. "It allows him to speak without the fear of cross-examination. So if he can get his side out, and in a clear way, he never has to face the other side asking him questions or follow-ups."
