Geraldo this morning on "Fox & Friends" thought it was a Catch-22 for Zimmerman--he is indigent and qualifies for an attorney defending him pro bono, but if he can raise the money for the bond he won't qualify for the free attorney...but the cost of his defense could be as much as $500,000 so where will he get the money?

Bond may be a refundable $150,000, but he can get that by handing over a non-refundable $15,000 to a bail bondsman. Fifteen grand isn’t anywhere close to what this trial will cost, warranting the pro bono treatment.
I expect very good lawyers will be fighting over who gets to represent him for free, so methinks the issue is moot.

Does the same go if Zimmerman’s family posts his bail?

He can have his pick of attorneys for free. I hope he’s getting some good advice. They’ll try to charge him a fee, but any of the bast@rds would give their firstborn child to get this case. The TV time alone will be bring in millions.
