But since he probably only has to put up 10% in cash, he should be walking free soon. (Order here and at bottom of post)
Via Orlando Sentinel:
A Sanford judge today ordered George Zimmerman, the Neighborhood Watch volunteer who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old, released on $1 million bail.
It was not immediately clear how long it would take the 28-year-old Zimmerman to arrange his release.
Defense attorney Mark O’Mara said Friday that Zimmerman’s legal defense fund had a balance of $211,000, more than enough to cover the 10-percent non-refundable portion charged by most bonding companies.
More details to follow.
Updates: The evidence submitted by Zimmerman at the second bond hearing is posted at a special website set up by his attorney, Mark O’Mara.

He has to PERMANENTLY PAY 100k to the bondsman to get out.
ReplyDeleteTHey just stripped him of 1/2 his defense-fund.
While understandable, this is DISGUSTING.
He never lied. His wife never lied. The persecution misled the court, but the only way he could prove that was to subject himself to cross-examination which at this point would be a bad decision.
Benny chump, Julison and the rest of Team Skittles continues pushing their lies on every network while nobody stands up for Jorge...
There's never been a bigger injustice IMHO.
This man should never have been arrested in the first place, but still may serve as a lesson for the rest of us:
**NEVER** TALK TO COPS!!

No less than 5 statements, videotaped reenactment, passed 2 lie-detectors and ... still the threats from a misled, racist mob causes a political arrest and persecution?
ReplyDeleteSo a bunch of Southern Democrats want to lynch a non-white man for the non-crime of defending himself against a brutal assault?
Why does this sound so familiar??
The only difference between Jorge Zimmerman and Emmett Till is that Jorge's mob is demanding the state do the lynching FOR them!
