ZIMMERMAN-has $200,000

[Peach]

That was not disclosed at the bond hearing, he'll most likely have $500,000 by the time the Court reconsiders the bond. Strange omission, isn't it?

Good for him. It won't be enough, but it is a start.

By the way, why is it a strange omission? Do you think the prosecutor did not know he had set up a web site to get money for his defense? Do you think the judge was unaware? Do you think that a defendant is required to disclose his finances just because he is under arrest?

Should this have been MENTIONED at the bond hearing?

ZIMMERMAN-has $200,000

He should get the death penalty because he is rich.

It depends on whether that money is his to be used for whatever purpose he feels like using it for, or whether it is to be used for his legal defense and is the property of the attorneys.

Since the family spent a few days getting together the $15,000 bond, it appears that they were respecting the $200,000 as to be used for attorney fees.

It was contributions, I've read. And the day or so it took to release him was for arranging monitoring, or so I heard. I've also read Court may reconsider the bond.

The prosecutor was certainly free to bring it up, but the defense has no obligation to.

The judge let Zimmerman out for the price of $15K, on a murder charge. The judge even said Zimmerman can leave the state. Who doubts that Zimmerman's Jew daddy could easily raise far more than that? So, what difference would the $200K make? The Prosecutor knew about the fund raising website, but she knows Zimmerman is innocent, so does the judge. She made her "million-dollar bail, please" speech, to please all the shitbrained racists who hate Zimmerman because they think he's white. She did all she needed to do, for her agenda.

No you can't have any. Get your own. No, it was not a strange omission. The fact that he was publicly raising funds was known from inception. You might ask about Tax Law, other than that you are fishing without bait.... again.

No. Bond is determined based on the seriousness of the crime and the likelihood of the accused to show up for court. It has nothing to do with the willingness of others to offer financial assistance.

It was known. It was reported.

There are many behind him it appears!

The site is shut down, no more is being collected (at this time).

Should this have been MENTIONED at the bond hearing?

Yes

It depends on whether that money is his to be used for whatever purpose he feels like using it for, or whether it is to be used for his legal defense and is the property of the attorneys.

Since the family spent a few days getting together the $15,000 bond, it appears that they were respecting the $200,000 as to be used for attorney fees.

The site was setup individually and Zimmerman had direct access to the cash, O'Mara said in the hearing this morning that some small about was taken out probably for living expenses. He got the site shut down and the remaining money, has been transferred to a trust that Zimmerman does not have control of and through which expense reporting can now be done.

O'Mara indicated he will be getting approval for a proper legal defense fund setup as a trust which Zimmerman has no direct access to.

The prosecutor was certainly free to bring it up, but the defense has no obligation to.

I think the defendant is required to provide the court with information on their financial status and assets so that the court can set a reasonable bond, then there is the Mother, Father, and Wife being questioned under oath as to financial situations and assets.

It would appear so, but that has nothing to do with the bond hearing.

So now you are a lawyer?

The person on the account can sign the check to whom ever.

Zimmerman will not have to pay one cent in legal costs. People will pay it for him. I already contributed.

Yes

Why?

You also think that the fairies dance in your backyard. Reality tells me different.

You have, quite obviously, never been to a bail hearing. The defendant is lucky to get bail in the first place, and even luckier if he can actually get the court to listen to him when he says he cannot afford the bail that the prosecution asks for.
