Watch Live: George Zimmerman Attends Second Bond Hearing
(Excerpt) Read more at wftv.com ...
Do we have anyone with enough legal expertise to tell us when the ruling might come down?
Team Crump didn’t fare well today. Crump did do a pretty good imitation of a man getting kicked in the nuts. I finally got interested enough to figure out who Trayvon’s little brother was that DeeCee referred to. I was Brandy Green’s 14 year old son that was left with Trayvon when she and Trayvon’s dad went out that night.
That brings up the question of why they didn’t ask the fourteen year old where Trayvon went. It was the fourteen year old that supposedly wanted the skittles. Tryavon went out before 7:00 pm and was still gone at 2:00 am the next day. I would have checked the neighborhood and at least gone to the 7-Eleven when the fourteen year old old me Trayvon didn’t come back.
The father must be carrying a boatload of guilt if he hasn’t rationalized it away. Same for the mother. With both of them on a pity tour capitalizing on their son’s death, their collective conscious seems to have been kicked to the curb.
O'Mara said that the Judge has 8 to 10 hours of evidence he has to review before making a decision.
Odds are on other websites that he will leave town for an undisclosed vacation location and phone his decision in.
From the police report it appears that Trayvon had been there for about a week since his suspension. That’s what Traydad told the police. A week of unsupervised suspension.
I’ll bet the 14 year old would say that Tray came and went at all hours of the day and night, and the fact that he wasn’t around from 6 to whenever was not out of the ordinary.
I’m sure the parents are carrying a load of guilt, but dumping it on GZ just adds insult to injury. They should be ashamed to darken the doors of a church.
EMT O'Rourke says when he arrived at the scene, about 45 percent of Zimmerman's head and face was covered in blood.
He suggested Zimmerman needed stitches in his head, and says he "absolutely" had a broken nose. O'Rourke says Zimmerman's injuries were consistent with being struck by a "hard object."
What could that "hard object" wielded by the allegedly "unarmed" Trayvon Martin have been???
There is almost no way a marginal student can recover from a two week suspension from school, especially if he is left unsupervised. You might think that his parents would be demanding that he spend all of his time studying and doing homework, strictly confined to the house. Staying out late at night would seem to be ruled out completely, not only for the student, but also for his parents.
The effect of many news articles and editorials on this subject changes dramatically if you substitute the word “unsupervised” for the word “unarmed.” e.g., “Mr. Martin was un-(————) when he encountered Mr. Zimmerman.”
Was Tracy Martin’s girlfriend/fiancee, Brandy Green at the bond hearing? She seems to have disappeared entirely from public view a few months ago.
Nope.
But ... but ... but ... didn’t you tell me that Trayvon only arrived in Sanford that Sunday afternoon???
O'Mara tried to get the judge to agree that the prosecution couldn't cross-examine Zimmerman if he took the stand. Instead he suggested that the judge only ask questions of Zimmerman. Wow, just wow.
Have you seen the new website started by Grace Zimmerman, George's sister? Of course, she's looking for more money. Click here to donate.

I did but then I read the police report in which Traydad told the detective that he'd been there for a week. If you wish to repost your conspiracy theory again, I promise to reconsider it in light of the new evidence.

I think that's the way it works in an SYG hearing, and being that that will be next on the agenda, that's not an unusual request.
Zimmerman didn't need to take the stand today. O'Mara did enough damage to the prosecution's case today with what he submitted into evidence that GZ may never have to take the witness stand.
On the otherhand Sybrina was there. Where was her testimony??? And where is DeeDee and that toxicology report??? and Brandy Green -- did she fall off the planet???
Try wearing one into your bank and see how far you get.
<>There are laws against wearing hoodies in Florida. Shirley you can’t be serious? Does the University of Florida Levine College of Law know about that law?<>
They should:
CRIMINAL ANARCHY, TREASON, AND OTHER CRIMES AGAINST PUBLIC ORDER
876.12:Wearing mask, hood, or other device on public way. No person or persons over 16 years of age shall, while wearing any mask, hood, or device whereby any portion of the face is so hidden, concealed, or covered as to conceal the identity of the wearer, enter upon, or be or appear upon any lane, walk, alley, street, road, highway, or other public way in this state.

Are you saying that when SYG is claimed by the defense, the prosecutor is not allowed to cross examine the defendant ... if the defendant testifies ... during the trial? I assume, like today, George will never take the stand.
Although O’Mara tried to turn today’s proceedings into a mini-trial, it was just supposed to be a bond hearing. I suppose the testimony of the witnesses will happen at the actual trial.
George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin.
No question or argument about that exists.He did not run and hide. There was no element of “capturing” him involved.
The why and how of Martins death was supposedly under impartial police investigation, before this whole media/political farcical circus began.
Would you care to spend days, weeks, months or even years locked up in jail before the government deigns to schedule your trial?
WTF is wrong with you people?!!!
The primary point of the SYG law is that we, the people, do NOT want to add insult to injury, and peremptorily punish the survivor of a lethal criminal confrontation for merely successfully defending his/her self.
This is not a game or a TV show.

Well part of the bond determination process is the strength of the case of the prosecution, and all along the judge has been saying how strong the case is against GZ. So today MoM presented evidence to show how weak the state's case really is, and thus why bond should be minimal.
I suppose the testimony of the witnesses will happen at the actual trial.
Why wait. Start putting things into the court record right now if you got them. Show how strong the state's case is -- if you have a case.
Today MoM entered into the court record the testimony of the EMT, GZ's statements, the statements of 3 witnesses, the testimony of GZ's father, a 911 tape and the testimony of a forensic accountant regarding the Paypal money, and dared BDLR to call witnesses to counter their testimony.
Sybrina was right there in court with Tracy and he didn't call them even though they are half his case, and he alluded to DeeDee but she will never take the witness stand because MoM will ask her about TM's drug use and she will sing like a bird.
What today showed is that all the state has is the tired old mantra "GZ lied" without any evidence that he lied. In a moment of frustration BDLR blurted out their theory: "he profiled him, chased him down, and shot him". Great BDLR, if you believe that then present your evidence for your imaginative speculation. Let's see it. There is none. He knows it and the judge knows it and Team Skittles know it. It was written all over their faces today.
MoM presented enough evidence today that a reasonable judge would dismiss all charges and send everybody home and save all parties a lot of time and money.
Right now he's having a John Roberts crisis of conscience, and so is anyone who watched this hearing today with any kind of rational mind.
My, my ...
If I remember correctly, it was Mr. O'Mara who waived Mr. Zimmerman's right to a speedy trial.
I don't give a rat's a$$ is he gets out on bond or not. And if it is deemed a higher bond, I'm sure you'll dig deeper into your pocket. To make it easier, there's a link above to Grace Zimmerman's "gimme money" page.
BTW, the author of Florida's SYG law stated it did not apply in this instance ... but time will tell.
Thanks for the link, I just donated again.
And the forensic accountant today testified that all the moneys were accounted for and there was no deception in the bank transfers. And there was nothing illegal about any of those financial transfers.
The state may have wanted it to be about deceiving the court, but it's not Shellie on trial but George.
In a bond hearing, the strength of the state's case is a part of the bond determination and today the illusion of the state's case came apart -- big time. If these things were not supposed to be part of the bond hearing, then why did the judge allow them and the prosecution fail to object, and all these things damning to the state's case become part of the court record???
