I thought that I heard brief mention of GZ having his bond increased because the judge learned he'd raised a fair amount after paying bail and being released...and that the judge would close down GZ's fund raising web site as well. Not a peep since then.
Was that my imagination and/or can anyone here correct or confirm it?
From what I recall therealgeorgezimmerman.com site went active about 2 days before the information was filed and he turned himself in. And was taken down about 2 days after he got out. The site linked to a PayPal account. Others may have known of the account but it became widely available when the website went live. Since I doubt GZ had access to the PayPal account while in jail, it is reasonable to assume GZ had no idea how much money was in the account the day of the bond hearing. On the other hand someone may have informed him money was flowing in at a high rate. It’s been reported $5K of this money was used to post the 10% cash part of the $150K bond. The judge has asked Omara to clarify who exactly had control of the account and who knew how much money was in it.
But that’s just my point. If bond is to make sure the person appears for trial, why try to raise it on Z (whether or not more money came in) if he voluntarily turned himself in in the first place?
The answer is: Tryavon’s mom, dad, and lawyer whined.
