SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - Just hours after George Zimmerman walked out of the Seminole County jail $150,000 bail, the court unsealed several documents. (see below for documents)

Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester issued an order to unseal several documents. According to one of the documents released Monday, Zimmerman's arraignment was pushed forward from May 29 to May 8.

Zimmerman's location is being kept a secret for his safety and could be outside the state of Florida.

I am not illiterate... must be some other “people” being referred to.

[Ditter]

I saw that defendants are not supposed to be shackled too but Zimmerman sure is, surprised he isn't gagged.

My husband and I both heard in the early reports that the shots were fired by and the baby snatched by a skinny black woman with blond hair. We heard that several times but then they stopped. The woman they are holding sure isn't skinny.

[jiggyboy]

Hah, good one. It will be like the end of “The Firm”, when the FBI brings in a dozen guys each with their own dolly, and there’s one manilla folder holding ten pages of billing records on the table.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Did you not see Angela Corey’s news conference?

No.

>> It was one of the most disgusting news conference I’ve ever witnessed.

Yeah, but I heard that it wasn’t too bad — as a re-election campaign speech.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Don’t feel bad! I couldn’t find the documents at first either!

“If Zimmerman goes free the riots and the murders that follow (with full Obama support) will result in an even more energetic Dem turnout.”

How could it cause a more energetic turnout for the treasoncrats?

I see the possible riots as the starting point of the second civil war IMO, to which the left and their entitlement class jackals will lose.

[hoagy62]

What if during the trial, Jesse, Al & Co. call for mass riots nationwide should there be an acquittal?

Wouldn't that be more in line with an Obama declaration of martial law? I mean rioting in just Florida wouldn't be enough reason, right?

I say this because it makes the most sense IF a suspesion/cancellation of elections is what Obama wants (and I think that's EXACTLY what he wants).

[freeangel]

“So much for delaying it until after the November elections.”

I’m pretty sure hussein needs to get the rioting started so he can declare martial law and “postpone” elections.

[InterceptPoint]

How could it cause a more energetic turnout for the treasoncrats?

As I understand it, the basic demographic groups that gave Obama his greatest support in 2008 are operating at lower levels of enthusiasm than expected at this point in the 2012 election cycle. The blacks, the women and the young need (from a Dem viewpoint) a big kick in the you know what to re-energize them and get them out to vote in November. The Zimmerman case was "chosen" for that purpose.

[longtermmemmory]

It is LONG settled that the defendant has a right to appear in non-prison garb. Prosecutors hate that because it takes one of their mind game advantages away.

Perhaps we need a loser pays rule in criminal cases.

[UCANSEE2]

The Zimmerman case was "chosen" for that purpose.

WAS.

Since the boat has more holes in it than the Titanic, it will be forgotten soon.

But that's OK.

Even though it is very rare, eventually a non-minority race member will kill a minority race member in self-defense and they can start over again.

[dragnet2]

Excuse me, Ms. Corey?! Just WhoTF has been trying manipulate the media all this time? certainly not Zimmerman you f'ing Hippo with lipstick

The arrogance of these bloated overpaid agents of the government are really beyond description.

[UCANSEE2]

It is LONG settled that the defendant has a right to appear in non-prison garb.

Then why was it discussed and referenced in the Case Documents?

[Real Cynic No More]

Well, looks like the trial judge got herself off the hot seat real quick.

Nobody wants to be a part of this hot potato.

[UCANSEE2]

I sure don’t see any documents at the link. Am I missing something?

Yes. At the link, scroll DOWN, and DOWN, and DOWN, and DOWN, and DOWN, and DOWN, and then, on the LEFT is a list of documents.

Even though the titles don't seem to relate to the Zimmerman case, that is because they are mostly legal mumbo jumbo.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Any defense lawyer worth his salt can drag out discovery in a murder case for at least a year. This is NOT gonna go to trial before the election.

[Tucsonican]

Thanks.

Now let me get this straight...of all the stuff they could have released they chose Zimmerman’s 2005 arrest report and an injunction for protection his wife filed (but not the one he filed against her)?

I’ve seen a lot of crazy stuff in this case but I have never seen such a blatant attempt to discredit a defendant as this. Is it even legal to only release information which is prejudicial toward only one party in a case like this?

[GOYAKLA]

Further check on injunctions needed, maybe was not wife! What I heard.

[kevcol]

This is NOT gonna go to trial before the election.

This is not going to go to trial period IMO, and I think the judge telegraphed that to the State during the bond hearing with his comment about the "prior arrest". He was essentially telling the State that he doesn't need them and the race pimping circus to interpret and twist facts for him in order for him to make a decision on those facts. That, and Zimmerman got the paltry bond requested (10% of $150K = $15K). Again, I think this judge will toss the case at the probable cause/SYG hearing. I hope Corey gets the full Nifong when all is said and done.

One thing I wonder about...did Sharpton/Jackson make the mother and father sign some sort of financial agreement prior to starting up race baiting? I hope O'Mara is on to that.

[Cboldt]

-- They were all in agreement that the affidavit from the past girl friend was not admissible in this case. --

I think they are wrong. It's admissible hearsay. But, it's useless to the state because the credibility is bottom of the barrel.

There is also a question of timing of admissibility. More can come in at the immunity hearing, than at trial. The state will be allowed to present the affidavit as part of the immunity hearing, and the Judge may consider it. Same way the judge considers evidence that is ruled inadmissible to a jury.
