George Zimmerman

[DJD]

One things for sure...Zimmerman hurt himself when he said he didn't know if the young man was armed or not.

Makes you wonder who is giving him legal advice?? Things are never what they seem......remember the Casey Anthony trial? She appeared guilty as sin and is found not guilty. Kind ironic it also happened in Central Florida.
Public opinion and the media deciding who is guilty is usually wrong since facts get twisted so easily. The media has made it known who they feel is guilty and so has the black community.

I've stayed out of this debate but after watching the news about the 15 year old Black child shot to death in downtown Lou. a month ago by three robbers it makes my blood boil. All three were black and one out on shock probation after attempted murder.Where are the riots,Jessie, Al.?????? SAD,SAD,SAD I guess if the robbers were white we would be calling this a hate crime....Have I said SAD?

Most likely.

I don't like to get all caught up in the racial crap either...but sometimes I just get tired of hearing the mud slinging that comes from the "African American" voice.

I get tired of all of this African American crap! I do not care what color a person is. You are American or you are not!

He has hurt himself a whole lot more since then, by lying under oath and claiming to be indigent when in fact he had over $100k at his disposal. His bond was revoked as a result, and now his wife has been arrested and charged with perjury. The prosecution can and will use this at his trial to destroy his credibility. This guy is going down, for manslaughter at the very least. They may even make this second degree murder charge stick, although I have my doubts about that.

Actually, I don't believe he lied......The money that was coming in from his website and paypal accounts was not completely accounted for.

No idea how much he actually had AT the time of the bond hearing.

AND the gubment going after his wife for perjury is a witch hunt. On top of it all, it looks like the special prosecutor LIED to the defense team, and withheld evidence.

Yea, this is all effed up...........I bet in the long run he walks, and half of Florida BURNS.

**** shame too, cause I like some of that craphole of a state.

Later,

They both DEFINITELY lied. April 16-17, $47,000 was transferred from his account to his sister's account. Between April 16th & 19th, his wife transferred $74,000 from his account to hers. Then at his bond hearing on April 20, they both LIED THROUGH THEIR TEETH and told the judge they were "indigent" and had no money. It is no witch hunt, it is simply the prosecution of somebody who stood up in court and misrepresented the facts upon which the judge relied when setting bail.

I had not seen that...........

THIS looks really bad for him, and it will definitely be used to pound his credibility. Might have just caused himself to go to prison.......****......

That's what I'm sayin'. From what I've seen, a lot of his defense is based on his account of what happened, and he just blew his credibility. Hence my statement that "he's going down," although I really do have doubts about a second-degree murder charge. I see him being acquitted on that, but convicted on a "lesser included charge" of manslaughter. JMO

This is what I read in two separate news reports yesterday that were recently written. A few days after the murder, Zimmerman set up a Pay-Pal account to accept donations. His Passport was close to exiring so he got a new one which he placed in the safe deposit box. When the judge asked for his passport, he gave him the old one. When the judge was considering bond he asked Zimmerman about his finances, he and his wife said they were indigent. They had collected $200,000 through the Pay-Pal account but his wife had divided the money and deposited a portion of it into at least 3 different bank accounts and hidden some cash in the safe deposit box. The Pay-Pal account was closed so there could be no more donations accepted. When Zimmerman and his wife were talking (I think it was at the jail) they talked in code because they were aware their conversations were being recorded. He asked her if he had $100 in his account which meant he was asking if he had $100,000 in the account. They also talked about other amounts of cash and how much his wife should pay on his bond. His mother is in Peru and I believe he is a flight risk and that's why they hid the new Passport. I think Zimmerman's credibility has been blown apart and it may come back to bite him when he comes to trial.

Who knows the truth, but I thought I read where Zimmerman claims once 911 told him not to follow he stopped.

As far as self defense and stand your ground wouldn't the young man have the right to beat up someone coming at him with a gun? Kind the chicken and the egg thing, Trayvon Martin sees some man coming towards him with a gun it is understandable he might jump on him and beat him feeling his life was in danger. Zimmerman gets jumped by a suspicious character who start beating him so he shoots to defend himself.

This case really is a sad tragic mess. I hope a jury can sort through it all and the truth is revealed.

It could be that Zimmerman was following him and he didn't like it and turned around and beat him. Zimmerman defended himself. I don't know because I wasn't there. It was stupid to call the cops anyhow. The policeman is not anybody's friend.
