Let's say it was you. It took every penny of your money (and your family's money) to pay the extremely high bail.
Now, people across the nation DONATE money to go to your LEGAL EXPENSES (Lawyer).
Based on what you see in the 'news' you know it is going to take every penny to pay the lawyer. Ergo... you will never see a penny of that money. Another way to look at it... If you have $100,000/yr income, and your yearly expenses are $110,000, how RICH are you?
WITHOUT that donation money, it is also likely you cannot afford the type of legal representation that will be necessary to deal with this kind of FEDERALLY ORDERED LYNCHING.
The amount of bail set by the JUDGE is supposed to be determined by the 'type' of crime and the likelihood of whether you will try to FLEE.
Zimmerman already made a deal with the LE that he would let top officials know where he was, to ensure he could not flee.
The whole point of REVOKING and RESETTING the bail amount, at this time, is to take away the FUNDS that the public donated for his LEGAL DEFENSE.
Wear those shoes, and see how you feel, and what you think you would do.
The judge could have ordered that all the money donated through paypal be returned to the donators.
Heck,why stop there, fine the donators. Shut down paypal for allowing the money to go to Mr Zimmerman's account.
I don’t know about anyone else but I’ll send him some more.
