The homeboy has returned to his roots, nobody expected Zimm to miss his court appointment by hiding in the jungles of Zimbabwe. He has now proven his reliability, his bond should be lifted and Zimm set free until he is needed in court.
Zimmerman has not proven his reliability, quite the opposite he has proven to be a flight risk - he was out of state and carrying a second passport to disclosed to the judge. That makes him a flight risk by definition and he should remain in custody until the trial.
Congratulations to the CBS editor of this news release. This one has the most complete version of the thinking that exists on both sides of the issue. In the future, teachers will be handing out homework for students requiring research and I hope this article is located for their project. It is accurate and serves well to explain the controversy that is being deliberated in public forums.
I will use it my own child rearing chats to teach how two anti-social wrongs never made a right, and how the tragic, divisive and heart-breaking reactions kill a community's joy.
Are the attorneys for the Martin family part of the prosecution or what ? If they think the misunderstanding about Zimmermans defense fund should be part of the case then I wonder if Martins history will also be part of the case ??? Who cares what Martins parents think? Zimmerman should be treated no differently than any other SUSPECT in the state of FL. The man is INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY ! When the state proves beyond ALL REASONABLE DOUBT that Zimmerman is guilty then we can talk about jail time !
It's not unusual for those charged with murder to spend time in jail before their trial. Especially those who are caught lying to the judge. His bail will be reset for an appropriate amount. By the way, if he were being treated no differently than any other suspect in Florida, he would have been charged on day one.
Great news for him - this just means more money when he sues for civil rights violations. Most of us watch in utter disbelief how, as the evidence is slowly released, how little to no evidence the state actually has. Every piece of evidence, especially Trayvon's knuckles, supports the fact that Trayvon attacked Mr. Zimmerman for no reason. The only question is how could charges be filed with so little to no evidence? The only logical answer is that the Angela Corey, Benjamin Crump, Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, Jesse Jackson, and even Martin's parent, are conspiring to violate Mr. Zimmerman's civil rights. Every time these ignorant people say George Zimmerman hunted down Trayvon, profiled him, etc they are conspiring to violate Mr. Zimmerman's civil rights because they have no evidence. Recently, so heroes in the New Orleans police department were given sentences of up to sixty-fives years not for murder, but for civil rights violations when under fire, they killed some people on the Danzinger Bridge. Given those sentences, I think a prison term of twenty-five years would be suitable for the above referenced defendant's for violating Mr. Zimmerman's civil rights.
Conservative propaganda, 100% fact free. See my scenario above - we have not seen all the facts and the media published "evidence" only supports Zimmerman's version of the story if the only media you get is Faux News and Rush Limbaugh.
Zimmerman precipitated the incident. He followed Martin, he confronted him, and he had no legal right to accost an innocent teenager walking through his own neighborhood. That means Zimmerman has responsibility for the outcome. Whether that is murder, or manslaughter, or none of the above, we won't know until the trial - which any RATIONAL person would wait for before making wild and inaccurate claims.
"ARRIVED LATE SUNDAY EVENING"? It's only 10:15am in Florida right now! Anyway, Mrs. Z should be charged with perjury. Florida courts are too lenient with lying in court.
The perjury charge only applies to a sworn witness called to testify, who misstates fact. This was a hearing, where no verdict of guilty or not-guilty is produced from this specific process. The judicial powers in such hearings are only temporary and in effect long enough to facilitate the process of a trial. Flaws discovered in an actual trial, which usually result in unlawful removal of a citizens rights, are discovered during an appeal and the case is either re-tried or the conviction is reversed or remanded with specific conditions.
KanasCity... you make it sound like perjury only applies inside a court of law? If he had NOT been sworn in as a witness-- then you might be right. However, withholding a material fact could be called contempt of court at the best, and obstruction of justice at worst. Either way.. MR GZ would want to impress the court on his basic honesty before the trial.. he has not done that.
