George Zimmerman Heading Back to Jail
« on: June 01, 2012, 06:43:12 PM »
Sorry to tell you this George but you are already convicted. They wanted you arrested, you were arrested. They wanted you charged, you have been charged, They wanted you back in jail, you are back in jail.

Update (3:05 p.m. EDT): The Sentinel's updated story gives a good rundown on the motions filed and the quotes in court:

"Defendant has intentionally deceived the court with the assistance of his wife," the motion says. "During the jail phone calls both of them spoke in code to hide what they were doing."
Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda told the judge today that "this court was led to believe that they didn't have a single penny" at the earlier bond hearing.
Zimmerman's wife "flat out lied to this court,"de la Rionda said. Lester agreed, revoking Zimmerman's bond. He must turn himself in, the judge said.

If you want the most thorough record possible of what went down, Reuters' Matthew Keys tweets a Soundcloud recording, with the bond discussion starting at 22:50.

Update (2:45 p.m. EDT): Zimmerman has 48 hours to turn himself in, Judge Kenneth Lester Jr. ordered, according to CNN. Weiner quotes him: "They were well aware of the money that was available."

Update (2:40 p.m. EDT): The judge has revoked Zimmerman's bond, saying Zimmerman misrepresented his financial status, Reuters tweets.

Original: Prosecutors in the State of Florida's second-degree murder case against George Zimmerman say the court should revoke his bail because he lied about how much money he had, and his wife helped him do it as a witness in his bond hearing.

As you'll recall, the man who shot Trayvon Martin in a case he says was self-defense, said at his bond hearing he didn't have any money, but then revealed days later that he'd raised $204,000 in  online donations. At the time, Zimmerman's lawyers made it sound like he didn't really know how to handle the massive Paypal account. But on Friday prosecutors filed a motion saying Zimmerman "intentionally deceived the court" with the help of his wife, and talked about the money "in code to hide what they were doing," according to the Orlando Sentinel's Twitter account dedicated to the case. CNN reports that "Prosecutors argued that Zimmerman 'misrepresented, misled and deceived the court' during an April bond hearing about whether he had a U.S. passport and about his family's financial circumstances. The judge hasn't made a decision on whether or not to revoke Zimmerman's bond.

This doesn't look good.  He has a good case going for him, why would he lie to his attorney as to his passport and financial means?  Boy just royally screwed himself.

Pity too - O'Meara seems to be a really badass attorney.  He is probably pissed about being lied to about this stuff as he took the case pro-bono.

It's peripheral to the charges against him.

The judge, the prosecution, the defense, all lawyers and THAT'S the part that they're truly pissed about.

If we can question what the definition of "is" is, then can't we question who really "owns" money raised for a legal defense?

This is going to hurt his credibility. Lets hope it doesn't make the case for him.

Yes, it is, but the forensic evidence should get him out of the second-degree murder charge.

You were proven to be quite correct.

I was opposed for any bail for George Zimmerman because of that.
