It's one thing to have a thoughtful response based on existing evidence and sound reasoning, it is quite another for you to slam David simply because you prefer another flavor of Koolaid!

As for recent evidence, I'm on the fence. That he gave the reenactment for the police would seem to indicate nothing to hide. I did that when I was accused. Later a lawyer chewed me out for trusting the police. It worked for me because that cop was good. In Zimmerman's video he makes statements that as far as I have seen, are false. Some commentators say that may bite him. The discussions are interesting as if the Prosecution brings in some of those tapes it opens the Defense to bring in all of the tapes in lieu of Zimmerman taking the stand where he would be cross-examined. Against Zimmerman's credibility, his wife transferred money out of that Internet account in increments. Zimmerman was involved as he talked to the bank manager on one occasion. Then the money was transferred back in as soon as he was out of jail. The money was apparently used to pay off credit cards, personal use, not defense funds. In his reenactment tape he said that the reason he got out of the car "after" the police dispatcher told him not to go after the "suspect" was to find the address. The official recording of that call shows he was already out of the car and running when the dispatcher told him not to follow the suspect. Zimmerman says he was not familiar with that street, the reason he did not know where he was at, yet he said he knew which house had been "robbed" and that the "suspect" wasn't from around there. Zimmerman describes Martin circling his car, which he told the dispatcher. But that is not on the tapes. Since his recollection is the only version available, inconsistencies can be a very big thing. His statement about the gun is suspicious as well. He "thought" Martin saw his gun while they were fighting. But he talked of Martin reaching in his jacket going for the gun which was on his waist. Why would Martin not go directly for the gun as Zimmerman did, if that what happened? On the outside, the Police Chief was fired for not arresting Zimmerman that night. Political? Possible. But certainly shows there is not a unanimous opinion. Is that what you were craving for? ![]() |

Yes, the "Media Prosecutors" ABC and Huffington post, bound this news tem with a restatement of the "Chief Investigator who is now going back to the beat, in order to minimize the impact. Both insisted upon reporting that the passed test would not be admissable in court.

Your reasoning is typical 20/20 hindsight. much like the rehash of what the "lead investigator' said. He "determined" that Zimmerman had "two chances to "difuse" the encounter, and because Zimmermean didn't, therefore, he should be charged with Manslaughter. However, there is no guarantee, given the teenager's rage, that either would have worked. Quote:

Which law applying to Zimmerman, be it Second Degree Murder or the SYG law, mentions race? Florida HAS hate crimes laws, didn't you know? Anyway, that fact should make you suspicious, even more so than anything Zimmerman said. There is no evidence that Zimmerman committed a hate crime, yet that is the basis of the prosecutioon for Murder 2, i.e. that he stalked Martin and profiled him because he was black.

So let me ask you a hypothetical question: If I approached President Obama ( the nation's #1 White/Black man), and punched him in the nose, blackened both his eyes, injured his back, and then proceeded to beat his head into the floor..... Would the Secret Service shoot me? Quote:

Thing not going Zimmerman's way. No bail! And this is allegedly the judge who will weight the Stand Your Ground Law application. |

Ankle monitor, 6:00 pm to 6:00 am curfew, no bank account, can't go near airport? Sounds like a sex offender. He might have avoided all this if he had not misled the court. This publicity sure isn't helping his original case. But he's "free".
How did he go from "poverty" to swinging a million dollar bond? |

$1M bond = $100K (strange math) - probably raised that and more in defense fund I would think

I wonder if some wealthy person posted the cash for the bond?
I was telling my wife, the more money the judge wants, the more cash people will send in to his web site. Seems like he will be able to hire 4 or 5 lawyers for his defense. Ain't America great? From rags to riches, or crook to book... xman |

My understanding is the remainder must be covered by collateral. My read is there has been an additional $20 to 50 k donated to his fund, now handled by his attorney. Knowing that he will cost his family $1m if he skips is much more of an anchor than the first round. And I presume there are fees to the bondsman, probably a percentage. So it is costly either way.
