barry of the bungle justice

The attorney for Trayvon Martin's family says George Zimmerman should be back in jail because he failed to tell a judge he had $204,000 during a recent bond hearing.
"They tried to portray themselves as indigent that they did not have any money," said Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump. "We think the court should revoke his bond immediately, and he should be held accountable for misleading the court."

Crump said Zimmerman's failure to reveal that he had the money shows that he is being dishonest.
"If his testimony at the bond hearing is any indication of what is to come, then the lying has already begun," Crump said....

The real question is how you find a jury who hasn’t been spoon-fed a tremendous amount of information over the issue...either one way or another. I think you’d almost have to look for a dozen folks who are obsessed with CSPAN or the Shopping Network...and that’s the only TV they watch all day.
The more this loser feeds to his PR team, the more desperate he looks. Can he possibly understand law well enough to know there is no case?
Can he possibly understand law well enough to know there is no case?This case isn't about law. It's about Institutionalized Mob Justice, with the media at the center of the mob and the president at the head of it.
According to the story, the money was from donations to his PayPal account. I certainly hope the Martin attorney hopes to get paid, and expects that Zimmerman’s attorney wishes to get paid as well.
Misled? This whole case is about being misled. The media took a juvenile delinquent, gold-grilled, jewelry thieving, miscreant and tried to turn him into an innocent lamb. That’s misled!
I was just thinking that if Zimmerman was in jail and had no internet connectivity its entirely likely that he had no idea if there was any money in a paypal account for him.
Once he was released he found out and asked his attorney what to do at that point.
As for the Martin’s Race Baiting attorney... I hope he gets sued into sack cloth once this whole debacle is over.
It’$ all about the money now, i$n’t it?
Let’$ all bleed THE WHITE MAN a$ much a$ po$$ible.
Let me translate Benjamin Crump:
We have NO CASE, so let me find a diversion to my incompetence.
There's no question in my mind that the Martin "Attorney" is just an ambulance-chaser, and has a large contingency-based fee in mind, when the Martin's sell the movie rights, book rights, talk-show appearance money, and a GIANT civil suit against the Taxpayers (City of Sanford, etc.), as all these "Cause-based" meritless extortion schemes play out.
Zimmerman's defense attorney would be on a standard-rate deal for him, and he needs cash to pay.
I don’t think that Zimmerman is innocent either. I still don’t understand this whole story. Did Zimmerman even live in that neighborhood. I KNOW for a fact that if I was told to “stand down” by the 911 operator, I would have. So what if the kid was walking through a neighborhood. The police were on their way and could have taken care of it.
He is NOT white. He is hispanic. Why are so many people misinformed about this story?????

Good Lord, have you read anything about this case or do you just fantasize? Yes it was his neighborhood, he was the head of the watch for Pete’s sake. The operator didn’t tell him to “stand down” they said they’d prefer he not follow Martin to which Zimmerman replied “OKAY”. It is perhaps at that time that Zimmerman headed back to his vehicle.
People who have no knowledge of the few available facts should really not speculate on this case!
"Why are so many people misinformed about this story?????"
Wow.
Donated aid is for legal defense not bond or anything else. Zimmerman presumably has no source of income, had to move and go into hiding because of the barrage of threats and this jerk has the nerve to say he lied about not having money? The money in any fund is not his to do with as he pleases.
Yeah. He lived in the neighborhood. It has only been covered in the news reports about a million times. With maps, even.
The 911 operator did not “tell him to stand down”. Zimmerman was aked if he was following the subject. He replied in the affirmative, and was told “ We don’t need you to do that”, to which Zimmerman replied “OK”.
Making stuff up doesn’t help clarify the situation.
Mr. Zimmerman and his wife are residents and own a home there. Young Mr. Martin was visiting his father at his girlfriend’s house, as he was suspended from school in Miami. It was NOT a 911 operator, it was the non-emergency police dispatcher, not a sworn law enforcement official, and he was not told to “stand down” but it was suggested “we don’t need you to do that” at which time he said “okay.” He says that Trayvon doubled back on him, sucker-punched him so that he fell to the ground and then proceeded to beat his head into the pavement. Before he could be killed by the larger, taller and more athletic Mr. Martin, he shot him. There is also some talk that there was a struggle over the pistol.
Misinformed? You mean like you? This is what you posted:

This post contains not only easily verifiable errors, but unverifiable speculation.
A) Zimmerman did, in fact, live in the neighborhood.
B) It was not a 911 operator, it was a non-emergency line.
C) They did not tell him to stand down.
D) There’s no evidence Zimmerman continued pursuit after the call, as the altercation supposedly took place near his vehicle.
E) The point was that Martin wasn’t just walking through the neighborhood, he was walking around suspiciously - in between houses, looking around.
