Very ironic that getbiggers who bragged about donating to Zimmerman actually helped incarcerate him.

    Judge Revokes George Zimmerman’s Bond





A Florida judge Friday revoked bail for George Zimmerman and gave him 48 hours to turn himself in, NBC News reported. Prosecutors had accused the former neighborhood watch volunteer of holding a second U.S. passport that he did not surrender to the court and said he misled the court about his finances before being granted $150,000 bail. Zimmerman’s family had testified in an earlier hearing that they had limited funds, but a defense lawyer said several days later that Zimmerman had raised more than $200,000 from a since-shuttered website. Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The court hearing earlier focused on whether some court records should remained sealed. More than a dozen media groups asked the judge not to seal the records, a move opposed by prosecutors and defense attorneys in the case. The hearing is ongoing.

it's not the donors fault that Zimmerman didn't disclose the funds in his possession and certainly not their  fault that he didn't disclose a 2nd passport (I didn't even know it was possible to have 2 passports?)

[Soul Crusher]

Definately not good for him. 

If he did not know about the money, but learned later, he was under an obligation to disclose the discrepancy to the court.

I didn't know they took this into consideration when determining your bail.

Hmmm.....

he was spending it or at least his wife was spending it so kind of hard to claim ignorance

he's doing a good job establishing the precedent that he is a liar

Hmmm.....

he was claiming poverty while sitting on 200k in cash

having that kind of access to cash makes him more likely to be a flight risk

not revealing the 2nd passport is just seals the deal as both a flight risk and a liar

Yeah - stupid move on his part.
2nd passport I dont understand.
Not disclosing the money was stupid.
Dude may wind up convicting himself out of sheer stupidity.

[Dos Equis]

Dummy.

Yeah, I guess it makes sense.  I just never considered this in my pea-brain.  

If Zimmerman was a billionaire, his bail to available cash ratio would be the same?  

[Roger Bacon]

So the idea is to set the bail in a way that most of their money is tied up getting out so there's a lesser chance they'll have the resources to flee?

I'm not an attorney so I don't know all the nuances but I know you have to be honest in your disclosure.
Zimmer was pleading poverty and that was, from what I read, considered by the judge when setting his bail at such a low amount.

most of the time, I never really consider people to be flight risks in cases.  I mean, technology is so good, airlines catch em quickly...

But in this case, an extra passport, a dad judge, $200k in cash and the fact he's willing to shoot someone in the chest over a stolen bike...

I wouldn't put anything past the guy.

69k jobs added last month on expectations of 150k and you want to talk about Zimmerman.

Not me - it's what FOX wants to talk about.   Look at its headline.   MSNBC.com, on the other hand, is talking about the poor economy. 

Hmmmm - to me it looks like FOX is the one burying the economic issues for the race-baiting, divisive trayvon bullshit

[Shockwave]

the fact he's willing to shoot someone in the chest over a stolen bike...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!? Seriously, where do you come up with this horseshit and how do you justify casually passing it off as fact?

I don't know.how you make these monumental leaps of logic.

You sound like the white Floridian Vince Goodrum.

[240 is Back]

FOX wants to talk about trayvon.

CNN & MSNBC want to talk about the economy, poor stocks, weak job numbers.

I thought it was the LEFT that was trying to distract us from Obama's shitty performance, and the RIGHT that didn't buy into the race-baiting, red-meat emotional crap to appeal to emotions of readers?

It appears to be the other way around.  Amazing.  I guess this is what their readers respond to.
