Prosecutors said each one will prove Zimmerman and Shellie tried to sneak around the court by hiding how much money they really had, to pay Zimmerman's initial bond.

"How much money is in that website right now? How much money as a result of that website?" Shellie was asked at the bond hearing.

"Currently, I don't know," said Shellie Zimmerman.
The state believes that is a lie because the couple reportedly had more than $100,000 in a PayPal account Zimmerman set up to receive donations for his defense.

The state believes the couple used code to talk about the money during phone conversations.
In one call, Zimmerman asked his wife "In my account do I have at least 100?"
Shellie Zimmerman said: "No."
Then he asked: "How close am I?"
She said: "$8.00, $8.60"
Zimmerman responded: "Really? So total everything how much are we looking at?"
Shelly said: "Like 155."
Prosecutors said that is code for $155,000.

This is hilarious - how stupid are these people?

The "tweaker" suggestion upthread is interesting, though, don't you think? It explains the scabs on The Little Choir Boy's face in his earlier mug shot (in the orange clothing) when he was a bit fatter. It also explains his fits of mindless rage, towards his spouse, his ex-girlfriend, while serving as a bouncer at illegal after-hours for-profit parties, and while killing a teen walking home from the store with candy and a drink.

tweakers
People who are paranoid, delusional, uneducated, and covered with oozing chemical scabs and ulcers due to the acute abuse of methamphetamine. They eventually eat scabs from one another that contain the meth that their body can't dispose of, just to catch a cheap thrill. MMMMM....MMMMMMMMM!!!

for retail theft. Just plain old shoplifting, but also "receipts scam." They get receipts out of trash cans, go into stores and collect the same items from the shelves and then return them for cash. WalMart and Target are favorites. All sense of right and wrong just goes by the wayside, especially with meth heads. A couple of cops I know have told me the jails are full of druggies - probably a vast majority.

Very sad.

That's just so nasty.

Although I'm for decriminalizing drugs, drugs like coke and meth seem to destroy people and it doesn't take that long. It bothers me that people link pot with coke and meth. I've never seen anyone on pot go insane and attack people or people OD'ing on pot.

Eating scabs? I'm going to be sick and why don't why don't eat their own scabs and do the scabs actually contain the drug???

This is why i get so angry about legalization arguments. Legalization is NOT the same as decriminalization.

I support decriminalization. Legalization has been a proven failure and has no example of success.

Besides, your theory requires that people take quite a leap. People are jumping to meth because they can't legally use marijuana? Not likely. The meth problem just shows that people will usually, when given the option of easier access to harder drugs, show poor responsibility. Why do you think threads about meth are always filled with the question, "Why would they even start?" while the actual numbers of users just keeps increasing. Decriminalize and allow users the option to seek treatment in place of court ordered jail time.

I support the full legalization of DU's apparent drug of choice, Marijuana with decriminalization of all other currently illicit drugs (being sure to add into that number the various forms of "bath salts&quot .

People go into the drugstores and big box stores and make the stuff in small quantities the aisles and in the bathrooms of the stores. If you wander over to Weird News, there are a couple of articles about it that have been slapped up in the last month or so.

Polls: Public's opinions on Zimmerman shifting

SANFORD — For weeks, the death of Trayvon Martin, the investigations it launched and the civil-rights rallies it spurred were the most important news stories in the country, according to pollsters.

At least six news organizations or polling companies did surveys. What they documented, in general, was that people were fascinated and outraged by the Feb. 26 death of the unarmed 17-year-old and angry at the shooter, Neighborhood Watch volunteer George Zimmerman.

Two sets of findings, though, stand out:

Although it was the No. 1 story in the country overall, twice as many blacks as whites singled it out as the country's most important story, according to the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
