Praise God! Trayvon's Mom Reacts To Zimmerman Bond Revoked (DETAILS)
The Global Grind ^ | June 1, 2012 | The Decider

Posted on 06/01/2012 1:16:33 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Trayvon Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump spoke on the recent news of George Zimmerman’s bond being revoked earlier today by Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester.

Judge Lester ruled that Zimmerman has at least 48 hours to turn himself into police after it was revealed that Zimmerman’s wife misled the court about the funds he was receiving through PayPal donations.

Upon hearing that Zimmerman’s bond had been revoked, Crump said:

"This is such an important ruling today because once again George Zimmerman's credibility is the issue… he should remain in custody until there is a trial....Judge Lester’s ruling in this matter is so important because it causes everyone to focus on Zimmermant’s credibility.

This is crucial when it is only Zimmerman’s testimony that Trayvon attacked him and all the objective evidence says he perused, confronted, and shot Trayvon."

Trayvon's courageous family spoke out on the matter as well. In a simple tweet, Trayvon’s mom wrote “Praise God,” while his brother Jahvaris Martin tweeted:

“Zimmerman has been locked back up. I hope he stays in jail. Children will be much safer.”

Prosecutors contest that Zimmerman told his wife, Shelley Zimmerman, about PayPal donations he was receiving while in jail and that she lied in the bond hearing about being aware of these funds.

But that’s not all; it was also revealed that Zimmerman had a second passport in addition to the one he surrendered to police after he was released on $150,000 bond.

The prosecution went on to say that Zimmerman "intentionally deceived the court" with his wife and talked about monies received "in code to hide what they were doing."

On the issue of Zimmerman's passport, the prosecution said:

"Zimmerman surrendered had been reported lost or stolen. He didn't turn over new, valid one."

On the issue of the money Zimmerman received in donations, prosecutors contend:

"This court was led to believe that they didn't have a single penny" saying that Zimmerman called his wife from jail before bond hearing & "repeatedly tells her about the money."

Lawyers for the state believe that Zimmerman's wife is guilty of contempt of court for lying and asked for Zimmerman's bond to be revoked, raised and for him to be sent back to jail.

Contempt of court usually results in a maximum of 6 months in jail.

The judge declared that Zimmerman’s wife had lied and decided to revoke Zimmerman’s bond. He has at least 48 hours to turn himself into police.

Lawyers on both sides were in Sanford today deciding whether or not to release key pieces of evidence and make them public to the media. In the end, the judge ruled to issue an order on evidence in 30 days. And no new evidence was released today.

This whole thing is just beyond outrageous. $150,000 bail is high to start with.

When you are on trial for murder, and your testamony is a critical part of your trial; I would think it would be in your best interests not to intentionally mislead the judge in any area. But, that’s just me ...

That’s true - if only the Judiciary and Prosecutor were held to such standards of integrity and honesty.

It will be Ft. Sumter when Zimmerman is acquitted. Regardless of who occupies the White House, there will be riots in the streets.

The article states that it was Zimmerman’s wife, not Zimmerman, who misled the court.

A minor detail, I’m sure.

Yeah, I don't know why he'd be distracted, what with a militant black terrorist group putting a million dollar bounty (dead or alive!) on his head, the Holder Justice Department breathing down your neck, world-wide media and famous race hustlers coming to your town, the chief executive commiserating with his “victim” and millions marching and calling for his head. Let's see you put in that situation and watch what you do, okay?

You have proof of any misleading of the judge?

Beyond reasonable doubt?

Besides the headline?

Zimmerman doesn’t stand a chance in court. Having a backup/escape plan would be a very good idea.

These people are not going to be satisfied until this man is drawn and quartered WITHOUT a trial to chants of “this is fo’ Trayvon, this is fo’ Trayvon!” - Even then, where past “injustices” are concerned, two wrongs still won’t make a right, but it’ll do for the moment.

Regardless of the merits of the case (or lack thereof), holding onto a valid passport and turning in the one reported lost or stolen was a BAD MOVE. That makes him look more like a flight risk, which should be the primary motivation behind setting bail.

Zimmerman had a paypal account and he was in jail when the money started flowing in. It was growing thousands per hour so whatever number he told his wife it would be low. Paypal also holds money 2-3 weeks on new account over $1000 so he may not have received any of the money yet ?

Also, did he had internet access in jail to knoiw what was going into his paypal ?

But is that the truth or is it a made up lie?

While the Zimmerman/Martin ‘white’ on black killing is covered 24/7 on the MSM with an outpouring of rage and charges of a racial hate crime, where is the concern- where is the rage about the home invasion, torture, beating, rape and murder of the elderly white couple by a gang of feral blacks in Oklahoma just a few weeks ago?

The 90 year old war veteran husband was beaten and his jaw broken. He was shot in the face numerous times with a BB gun and sent to the hospital in critical condition.

The 85 year old partially blind wife was RAPED and then BEATEN TO DEATH.

Can you just imagine the pain, the humiliation, the horror that dear old lady experienced being gang raped by that pack of feral animals?

(the autopsy states she was raped. Don’t think all of these animals didn’t all participate)

And can you imagine the pain, the horror of that dear old husband having to witness this?

Mr. Strait died from his injuries last week.

There’s a lot more involved here than a home invasion and robbery.

WHERE ARE THE CHARGES OF A RACIAL HATE CRIME??

90 year old husband’s jaw broken and shot in face with a BB gun numerous times?

85 wife year old semi blind wife RAPED and BEATEN to death??

Why does it take a foreign press to enlighten America as to this henious crime?

WHERE IS THE NATIONAL OUTRAGE?

__________________________

Have they caught the rest of the gang of feral blacks who raped, tortured and murdered this elderly woman? Are they even looking? Not a word about it in the media.

He wouldn’t have access in jail directly. Only by proxy. The judge knew about the money. Just another POS judge.

I am absolutely certain Zimmerman cannot get a fair trial. And especially an impartial jury.

“Mom” needs to lighten up. She’s made just about all she’s going to make off of this. Her 15 minutes are just about done. Go spend the money.
