George Zimmerman's wife arrested, charged with perjury [Appealing to the Obama/Sharpton Lynch Mob]

Earlier this month, a judge threw George Zimmerman back in jail, after prosecutors said Zimmerman and his wife misled the court about their finances.

On Tuesday, his wife, Shellie Zimmerman, was booked into the same facility on a perjury charge.

According to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, deputies were alerted by prosecutors Tuesday that a warrant had been issued for Shellie Zimmerman, 25. She was arrested about 3:30 p.m. "at the location she was residing in Seminole County," deputies said in a statement

Your reasoning is impeccable. Way better than mine on another thread.

Can I have your thoughts on GZ’s 2nd Degree Murder charge? Just rummaging around this ‘yard’ right now, and I’m thinking it’s not worth giving SoF the credit:

Your teeth are rotten.

Contrary to your assertion, there is no real evidence that Scooter Libby was guilty of anything.

I asserted that he wasn't guilty of anything, other than being to naive a person and cooperating with a political hack prosecutor.

From the transcript:

Q ... how much money is in that website right now?

A Currently, I do not know

Shellie may have transferred funds from the account the day before but could not possibly know "how much money" was "in that website right now". Donations were rolling in as they spoke.

Shellie did not "willfully subscribe(s) as true any material matter which (s)he (did) not believe to be true" and, therefore, did not commit perjury. The prosecutor knows that, but that didn't stop her from arresting Shellie.

Referring, when not under oath to $100 as shorthand for $100,000, etc., does not infer that the court testimony was perjurious, nor does it affect credibility. I have had business conversations where I refer to amounts like "a hundred", as shorthand for $100,00.

Imagine Trayvon Martin killed Zimmerman and had a wife who said the identical thing under the identical circumstances. If the judge ignored such a flagrant lie in a bond hearing and people became aware of this, we’d all be screaming up and down about what a miscarriage of justice it is for the judge to ignore such flagrant evidence of lying by not having her arrested for perjury etc.

You're playing the Race Card on FReepers? Really?

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Being married to a monster racist she deserves to be sent to prison for life! To help Obama win the White House she will be tossed under the bus along with her Husband. Next they will target his father and mother and friends. They will demand blood!

[ironman]

Minor point of clarity, Corey brought the charges not the judge.

[snarkytart]

Excuse me, when did this judge comment about the evidence being “strong” (your term) against Zimmerman?

[tbw2]

You’re probably right. The timing looks bad. His bond was revoked. He’s back in jail. What’s the point of arresting the wife except politics or blackmail?

[tbw2]

Does Zimmerman have a better attorney now?

[SaraJohnson]

In his written decision revoking Zimmerman’s bail.

I have no idea, I didn’t recall that information being released, although I did some googling and found this...

Brook Park man shot in road rage incident

An effort to destroy an innocent man and his family is underway. All to appease racists like Sharpton.

This is a gross abuse of prosecutorial power.

I am a former elected prosecutor; if one of my assistants had pulled a stunt like this (both cases, but particularly this one), I'd have fired him or her on the spot.

And they all bloody well knew it...

[spacejunkie2001]

he hired Don West who has a pretty good reputation near as I can tell but he has not fired O’Mara. From what I know, and granted it’s not much, O’Mara sucks. He’s basically throw George and his wife under the bus as if he had no culpability himself.

[Impy]

Ugh.

I maintain my objection to the court nosing in their finances. Bail should not be based on how much money the prisoner has to flee with or can afford to pay.

[sickoflibs]

I read the article and if it is true she intentionally lied to the court to keep his bail low and she shifted money around from account to account for the same purpose.

Four days before she testified to having no knowledge of the funds, the affidavit says, Shellie Zimmerman began a series of transfers into her account — totaling $74,000 from April 16 to April 19. The affidavit says about $47,000 more was transferred from George Zimmerman's account to his sister's. Shellie Zimmerman withdrew about $18,000 more in cash, prosecutors say. Prosecutors say the Zimmermans used a rudimentary "code" to discuss the money in recorded jailhouse phone calls — referring to $100,000, for example, as "$100." At least two of the calls, the state alleges, were made while Shellie Zimmerman and her husband's sister were at a local credit union making the transactions.

[Impy]

Right sure that’s perjury.

But I don’t think the court should have had a right to ask those questions or know or consider how much money they had, I feel it should not be relevant. What do I know, I ain’t no fancy big city lawyer. ;-p

RE :”But I don’t think the court should have had a right to ask those questions or know or consider how much money they had, I feel it should not be relevant”

It was a bail hearing.

Did you ever have the pleasure of sending your kid to college, especially an expensive one? They demand to know EVERY detail of the parents finances to set the real tuition. They demand the parents sign an IRS privacy waiver. I can only guess the masses tolerate this huge invasion of privacy because they see free $$$ in it for them.

[Impy]

My point, the poor shouldn’t get a break on bail, this encourages people to lie. The bail should be based on the crime and criminal history of the defendant not whether or not they can afford the bail or afford to flee to Brazil. If they can’t afford it well then too bad for them. If you think they’re a flight risk, ankle monitor their a$$. Trials shouldn’t take years either, if you have a case you should be ready to present it promptly. Not ready? Then there shouldn’t be an arrest yet.

“Did you ever have the pleasure of sending your kid to college?”

I’m 28. ;-D

I ever have a kid they’re on their own for college, colored pencils for kindygarden are expensive enough. ;-O

I’ve been thinking Zimmerman is guilty of manslaughter but at this point I want him to get off just to spite these bastards. However long he has to spend in jail before the trial will be punishment enough.

” I’ve been thinking Zimmerman is guilty of manslaughter but at this point I want him to get off just to spite these bastards.”

If the evidence we have been privy to is accurate, I believe it was self defense. Also it appears to me that O’Mara didn’t properly advise the Zimms on conduct.
