MSNBC: Zimmerman attorney says paying new bond will be "difficult, not getting out any time soon"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Supposedly lil' Zim-Zim was sitting on a cool $200K, but O'Mara said "that money is being spent on his legal defense."

Geez, my fucking heart BLEEDS for him. Sit in your cell and munch on your Doritos, shithead.

3. Awwww, poor thing.

4. that's what should happen when you kill someone

and are awaiting trial.



That's for sure what would have happened had the tables been turned and it was Trayvon who had killed Zimmerman.

[monmouth]

5. I'm pretty sure that's what the judge intended...n/t

[Spazito]

6. Hmmm, is this claim by his lawyer a ploy to try and get the Judge...

to reduce the bail? I would not put it past O'Mara at all to do just that. O'Mara has not been all that truthful himself, imo.

7. seems more like a ploy to get more donations

to the Zimmerman Defense fund-

[frylock]

8. oh, the humanity

[Swede Atlanta]

9. Zimmerman....

(1) Conspired with his wife to hide assets
(2) Lied to the judge
(3) Lied about and hid a second passport

I think these are just some of the many reasons the judge may had tried to set bail high enough as to put it out of reach.

10. That little stunt he pulled just used up all the defense money

Hope he likes playing solitaire.

11. It's greed

Z can make the bond, but he doesn't get the $100K 10% bail bond charge back. That's nearly half the money he's raised, and while I don't think he needs it for his defense I suspect he just plain doesn't want to give it up. That's a lot more money than Z makes in a year of doing actual work.
