Who says this is about justice?

The prosecution in the Zimmerman case has released statements from one of George Zimmerman's cousins, alleging that GZ inappropriately touched her. When they were 6 and 7 years old. She also alleges that the behavior continued until they were 16 and 17.

Why do events that transpired more than a decade ago have any bearing on this case? Our justice system has become a reality show, where people dial a 900 number to vote for the winner.

EDIT: Come on, people. Here is the money quote:

At one point — the interview isn't clear on timing — Zimmerman's mother said she didn't like President Barack Obama, the witness said.
"I said 'why not?' you know just thinking she was joking," Witness 9 told investigators. "And she said, 'Because he is black. I am a racist.' Just loud and proud."

This is absolutely ridiculous.

That prosecutor must be getting desperate to be releasing crap like that. The only possible purpose would be defamation.
