George Zimmerman Returns to Sanford, FL [In Police Custody]
George Zimmerman Legal Case ^ | 6/3/12

Posted on 06/03/2012 12:13:43 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

George Zimmerman has returned to Central Florida, arriving late Saturday evening. On Friday, June 1, the court revoked Mr. Zimmerman's bond, ordering him to return to custody within 48 hours. The defense team has coordinated with the Sanford Police Department to ensure Mr. Zimmerman's security when he turns himself in before today's 2:30 PM deadline.

While out on bond, Mr. Zimmerman has been living in a secure, undisclosed location as there are significant threats against his life.

Mr. Zimmerman's lawyers will request a new bond hearing where they can address the court's concerns regarding the representation of funds available at the time of the original hearing on April 20. The defense team hopes that Mr. Zimmerman's voluntary surrender to Sanford police will help demonstrate to the court that he is not a flight risk. Furthermore, the vast majority of the funds in question are in an independently managed trust, and neither Mr. Zimmerman or his attorneys have direct access to the money.

On May 8, Mr. Zimmerman waived his right to a speedy trial to allow the defense team the time needed to prepare for trial. It is anticipated, though not certain, that the case will not be ready for trial until some time into 2013, and the next bond hearing will determine whether Mr. Zimmerman will wait those many months in jail or not.

“When you have genuine proof that martin started the fight and acted thuggish (instead of running away - as zimmereman said) then post it.”

You completely misunderstand the American criminal justice system. In the US of A the accussed are not required to “prove” their innocence. Instead the prosecution must prove their guilt. The burden of proof is entirely on the prosecution. (This is most often mistated as “innocent until proven guilty.”

To demand that Zimmerman or FR posters “prove” that George is innocent is as specious of an position as one could make. Why am I not surprised that you would take this position?

Hispanic voters need to comprehend that THIS what is being done to George Zimmerman is the real democrat policy toward minorities ... manipulate them, use them, make dependents out of them, and kill them off when it is politically empowering. George has been set up and now must be eliminated so the criminal enterprise Just Us department doesn’t lose face. Make no mistake, Hispanics, the orders for what to do to and with George Zimmerman are coming directly to Floriduh from the criminal unJustice Department run by the criminal enterprise democrat party who think they own your vote.

I really believe that there are powers that be out there that want to start and cause a race/ethnic war. Whomever and whatever they are, they seem to be doing a good job in sowing the seeds for it.

“You actually believe this will make it to court?”

Only because of dimoKKKrat politics spear headed by Obama. IMHO the Sanford PD had it right in the first place. IMHO this case should not be going to trial.

Do you know how many people die in fist fights or because of getting their head banged on a hard object the wrong way. Zimmerman was jumped because he dared to ask Martin what he was up to walking around an area that GZ knew he didn’t live? Yea because god forbid you DISRESPECT A BROTHA for talking to him side ways, right?
You have NO EFFING RIGHT to put your god damn hands on another human for asking you a question and if you do you must accept whatever they bring to you...ass whoopin’ or a hole in the chest.

If GZ was a Dirty Harry type he would have never called the dispatcher in the first place and as soon as he was attacked instead of letting his head get bashed and calling for help for a couple of minutes he would have shot immediately. EVERY THING shows he was not trying to confront and kill Martin.

You’re one sad and mistaken MOFO you if think white people or non blacks are going to keep on taking the crap thugs dish out, like getting punched and jumped over NOTHING. Sorry you want all the self defense and stand your ground laws challenged cause your hommies can’t act out against people at will without getting shot.

You want GZ to have been beaten to a pulp and possibly put in a coma like the guy outside of Dodger Stadium or any of the other cases we hear about black thugs playing KNOCK OUT KING with people?
Well too bad..this man fought back against the thuggery and good for him.

There may come a time when a person has to say “sayonara” to the U.S. and tell the “Trayvons” (Obama’s sons) they’ll just have to fish or cut bait as far as the socialist Democrat freebies go. . and then where are they gonna get all the “wealth” to “spread around”?

Sounds like the idea is to "go Galt."

“Which known facts, the ones where zimmerman (armed with a loaded sidearm) got out of his car to follow and martin (unarmed) ran away, are those the facts you mean?”

Your description seems to paint a picture that Martin only ran when Zimmerman exited his car, gun exposed, which prompted Martin to take off running in fear. If that was your intent the I say bull hockey.

Zimmerman was on his phone with the police, in fact in mid sentence, when Martin suddenly turned and ran off. In the 911 recording you will see that it is crystal clear that only after Martin takes off does Zimmerman exit his vehicle and head in the direction where Martin disappeared.

His parents and his football program listed him as 6-3 and 160 pounds and growing. There is a video of him at the quickie mart buying his Skittles that night. In the video he towers over the clerk.

Zimmerman's weight was first reported as 250 pounds, but he checked into the jail at his hearing at 185 and I think 5-7. One media reported it as a 7 inch height difference between them which means that in a fist fight Zimmerman wouldn't land a punch.

Either way the media wants Trayvon portrayed as a shorter lighter innocent looking 13 year old cherub, and Zimmerman as the monster. Check the internet for pictures of what he really looked like as a taller heavier 17 year old with gold teeth.

On one talk show, the Talk, one of the ladies stated matter of factly that Zimmerman shot Trayvon in the back three times. She has yet to correct her lie even after the autopsy report came out.

My description, as you call it, is based solely on zimmerman's own recorded words. It's not my problem if you don't like it.

You forgot the part where he lied down on the ground and banged his head on the concrete.

I will pray that George Zimmerman comes out of this, unscathed. What is being done to this man is something I would expect to read about happening in some third world Country. Sadly, this is what the post-racial pResident has brought this Country to.

Nope, my facts came straight form zimmerman's recorded words.

Since you say that martin atacked zimmerman first (with his "deadly fists"), how about you tell us where you got your facts...link to proof that what you say is true...I bet you can't.

Oh yeah, thanks! And when he broke his own nose in the minute or so between executing Martin in cold blood, and the police showing up.

That is a blatant lie and you know it. If that were true, you would be singing a different tune.

By commencing a potentially lethal attack while simultaneously removing any possible retreat, Martin signed his own death warrant.

Facts are your friend, my FRiend.

________________________________________

Yes, they are...so how about you provide proof that martin commenced a potentially lethal attack.

Go ahead, give it a try.

Blatant lie? Which part? The part about zimmerman being armed? The part about zimmerman following martin? The part about martin running? The part about martin being unarmed?

Which part is the "blatant lie"?

No one saw what intigated the interaction, witness saw tow man fighting on the ground. Isn’t it hust possible that zimmerman shoved or pushed Martin initially? The reality is that we will never know what happened. Zimmerman is no hero.
