You do know the difference between bail and bond, right?

Maybe I'm stupid. I've got 3 ex-wives to verify that.

Me, I don’t know the difference between bail and bond. They both start with “B”. All I know is that more money is to be dished out of Mr Zimmerman’s pocket.
Why didn’t they assess how much all his stuff is worth? (wife’s jewelry, car, computers TV etc...?)
Why don’t they just drain his blood from his body? Hang him and get it over with? We all know what the root of this is.
Wouldn’t that satisfy the black lynch mob?
Why is it legitimate for the legal system to penalize GZ or any other defendant by imposing a bail so high they know a bondsman will be required and a non-refundable 10% will be charged?
What would a higher bail do in this instance? All that would happen is the enrichment of another bondsman. GZ would have money taken from him by the state. Why isn’t this considered punishment before trial?
Now I recognize that lying to the court is not to be condoned, but it is not a good reason to imprison him until trial.
Bad screwup on his part, but somewhat understandable.
The court has to recognize that if he did go on the run, a lot of people would support him through contributions...
Yes, sorry. A little sleep deprived after 3 days with a very sick son.
I was pulling for him from the beginning. I believe his version of events. But when your credibility is key, honesty is essential. If he and his wife knew they had the funds available to post bond, but chose to not reveal that to the court, it hurts his credibility at a time when he needs it the most.
