Someone doesn’t need to be an alabaster saint in order to be worthy of backing their endeavors. I hope that is not the issue here, Doughty. I hope Zimmerman manages to successfully negotiate the challenges and gets not just exonerated but vindicated in the Trayvon matter.
But somehow it’s getting insinuated that there are some possible issues I *must* turn a blind eye to or else be ostracized. And if those are the terms, well I submit to the ostracism; I prefer that to being a blind ideologue for anybody, “right wing” or otherwise, short of Jesus Christ personally.

I’m certainly not sdaying that- I think George and His wife have ‘acted stupidly’ throughout this case (after the initial ‘arrest’), and I can certainly understand that folks who donated thinkign hte money was goign to be used exclusively o nthe trial are understandably upset abotu the zimms using it for other purposes- however, it does appear there was mention the $$ would also be used for personal expenses- but I think a majority of folks went to hte site emotionally charged, and may not have read everythign and had just donated ‘thinking’ that the moeny woudl go solely to defense.
I think most people wantec to trust george blindly, knowing that he is innocent, and didn’t think he could be so lame-braiend as to ‘talk in code’ apparently trying to hide the shuffling of money’, and our perceptions of george got rocked a little over this I think- and so emotions are goign to be higher for a bit- especially for htose hwo donated without knowing the money was goign tio all expenses- but we must remember, the KEY issue i nall this is not him or her ‘lying’ but whether george was right to defend himelf with deadly force agaisnt a thug who was hellbent on murdering him- let’s not lose sight of this FACT- A Man feared for his life, and he acted just like any one of us woudl have acted when someone began violently bashing our heads agaisnt a potentiall deadly object
The judge and prosecution dropped the ball o nthe bond issue- and wife was therefore udner no fuerther obkligation to mention ANY of hte moeny in the paypal account- As to her ‘lying’ by sayign they wetre4 deestitute? They were ifnact destitute without hte paypal funds, but even hte judge hismelf didn’t know whether it was legal to concider this fund as ‘personal income or assets’-
Hopefully, Zimm’s lawyer is brilliant enough to rip the prosecution to shreds over this issue, and ‘hopefully’ the judge will ‘reprimand’ the prosecution and warn them not to try stunts liek htis again
