Zimmerman credibility could be issue in legal case
By KYLE HIGHTOWER and MIKE SCHNEIDER | Associated Press – 1 hr 9 mins ago.

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — The credibility of Trayvon Martin's shooter could be an issue at trial after a judge said that George Zimmerman and his wife lied to the court about their finances to obtain a bond, legal experts say.

That's because the case hinges on jurors believing his account of what happened the night the 19-year-old was killed.

The questioning of Zimmerman's truthfulness by the judge on Friday could undermine the defendant's credibility if it is brought up at trial. It also may complicate how his defense presents him as a witness, said Orlando-area attorney Randy McCLean, who is a former prosecutor.

"The other key witness, unfortunately is deceased," McClean said. "Basically, Zimmerman is going to be asking the jury to believe his version of the facts ... As the case stands now, his credibility is absolutely critical to the case."

NO WAY they let zimmerman take the stand.

Not in a hundred years.

The prosecution will just roll out the laundry list of inconsistencies.  He said this, but then he said that.  He claimed this, but the witness/911 call showed that.  If he will lie about these 12 things, how can we believe him?  And he will be scared to get on stand and end up being sentenced to 25 years when he loses his cool up there.

Which is why Zimm will plead to 8 years and this will never see trial.  I bet they plead sooner than later, now that he's locked up anyway.  Might as well get the time done now. 

And when he pleads, getbiggers won't say it's because he lied his ass off to cops.  it'll be the fault of race terrorists like al sharpton.  You know, their culture of victimhood.

They won't be allowed to bring it up in trial.....can't guilt by un-associated acts.  However, it doesn't give good press for Zimmerman

unless zimmerman broke the law, I believe?

If he lied to his girl about a mistress but broke no law, that's not admissible - but I believe if he committed past crimes, those are.  If he lied on a legal document, who knows.

This is absolutely the hilarious coming from the undisputed king of the frivilous non-issue which you choose to consume your attention on a 24/7 basis

Past crimes like assault can be brought up to show state of mind...however you can't bring up issues unrelated to a jury.

WOW - the jail recorded he and his wife using code words to discuss 135,000 he now had available - and THEN he walked into court and played penniless.

I bet his lawyer was PISSED.

I thought this was just the judge/media being bitches about things... but he seriously kept a 2nd passport and made real efforts to hide that 135k.  He knew it was there.  They used code words to hide it.  I wouldn't put it past the dude to run for it.  The amount of lies he told are starting to stack up.

LOLZER at the herman cain disciples who believed zimmerman.  He had no credibility from the 1st sentence of the 911 call.  Period.

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — George Zimmerman has returned to Florida and will turn himself in to authorities by Sunday's deadline after a judge revoked his bond in the Trayvon Martin case, an attorney said.

Attorney Mark O'Mara announced Zimmerman's return on his website Sunday, saying Zimmerman arrived late Saturday evening. Zimmerman, who is charged with second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of the 17-year-old Martin, was ordered by a judge Friday to return to jail.

The press release on the website said the deadline for his surrender is 2:30 p.m. Sunday.

¬snip¬

Zimmerman's legal team said Sunday that they will ask for a new bond hearing to address those concerns, and that they hope Zimmerman's voluntary surrender will show he is not a flight risk. Furthermore, the money Zimmerman has raised is in an independent trust and cannot be directly accessed by Zimmerman or his attorneys, according to the press release.

hiding $135k and a passport from the judge.

Undeniable proof he's not credible, plain and simple.

hiding $135k and a passport from the judge.

Undeniable proof he's not credible, plain and simple.

Could be guilty.  Could be panicked that he's innocent and may be found guilty.

Either way...this type of dishonesty doesn't speak highly of him and may even taint the jury pool against him.
