You turned out to be correct, as usual. I watched most of the hearing. The judge wanted more facts before he ruled, and didn’t seem upset at all. He is one professional, cook cucumber. He wasn’t even sure if he has the power to rule on the money. I guess it would depend on who has control of it. It’s possible Zimmerman didn’t even know how much was there last week at the bond hearing. But it sure gave ammunition to the Trayvon supporters.
Now that O’Mara has control of the money, I wonder how Zimmerman is going to eat and have a place to stay. The money has to come from somewhere.
Did you see that they may even disclose the donor list? Since I’m on it, it does concern me.
I'm sure O'Mara will provide an allowance of sorts, pay the bills for Zimmerman. The money is there, and O'Mara disclosed to the court that Zimmerman had been using it for living expenses. I'm sure the court has no problem with that sort of usage, whatsoever.
-- Did you see that they may even disclose the donor list? --
Yes, but I'm not sure how transparent that is. I have a paypal account, and it uses my PayPal handle. I do have a confirmed name and address, but I don't believe that information appears in a PayPal statement. When I've had receipts into my PayPal account, they are id'd by PayPal handle.
That said, O'Mara will figure out a way to get the accounting to the state, without disclosing donor information. Donor ID is irrelevant to the state's concern, which is cash resources available to Zimmerman. The source of the money is irrelevant. The fact that the money is there is the only relevant consideration. The Court wants to know the timing of cash flow, to investigate whether or not Zimmerman's family knew or should have known of the resource, and whether O'Mara knew or should have known (all that being before the bond hearing).
