Please sign and share this petition to have Casey Anthony tried by the federal government. The petition addresses the DOJ policy that guides them in deciding whether or not to bring federal charges against someone after a person has already been tried by a state

Name one thig that has suggested that George Zimmerman is racist or a bigot. The fact that Martin was an Afro-American doesn't count!

Try listening to his 911 call. While he is talking to the dispatcher he says "f*ing coons".

The fact his passport was revoked does not make him any less a flight risk. You can pick up a phony anywhere and it's a lot easier to sneak into Mexico from the U.S. than the other way around. From there he could go anywhere or simply disappear.

"O'Mara told the judge that Zimmerman no longer has control over the trust account." So? he or his father could hack into it as easily as I could snap my fingers and it would be gone in a heartbeat. Besides, there is very likely a lot of under-the-table money being handed George or his wife that not even O'Mara would know anything about.

Not saying Mr. Z WILL flee like a ruptured greyhound but the possibility is as evident and disturbing as one's black-sheep in law. I am not as certain of Zimmerman's guilt as I was of Sandusky's but I believe the state has a strong enough case to give the Zims and Mr. O'Mara hives and he should remain in stir, without bond, where he can be watched until the trial is done and he has secured an acquittal.

It wouldn't take me 2 minutes to make a decision. "Mr. Zimmerman, in light of the fact that you allowed your wife to mislead the court in your prior bond hearing, and in light of the fact that you had attempted a dual passport, I am not going to allow you out on bond. You will be jailed until your trial has ended."

why does the sister of george zimmerman still holding in a joint account with shellie zimmerman- 49 thousand dollars? I would think all the donations at this point be under the trust of the defense lawyer O'Mara..every single penny ... it was pointed out at the bond hearing today-- 49 thousand CASH is still in the account as a joint account with shellie zimmerman and her sister-in-law..

So he is not a flight risk because he no longer (as far as we know) has any passports He. and his wife can't siphon off money from donations because his lawyer has that all locked up .Luckily for Zimmerman he doesn't have a criminal record which is. one of the stipulations for bond) but he certainly has put himself in a few situations where other people; especially if they are black would have.
Even his speeding ticket charge was dropped when the police officer failed to show up in court-he's one lucky guy

The judge did not want the negative media attention of denying bail for Zimmerman, so he covered his ass by putting the decision on hold.

Be careful because you don't want to make the racist/bigot NAACP mad.
