Bullcrap.
Remember, it's not the judge we started with...
Zimmerman shouldn't have EVER been in jail.
How does the judge KNOW this? I certainly did not pick that up in the tapes that were played...sure they were cashing out money this family is not a family of Mitt Romney business savvy folks...they were plain blue collar working folk who needed money to live and stay in hiding etc.
I think Mr OMara would do well to try to get another judge as he did earlier before they got Lester. This judge sounds like hes predjudiced against Zimmerman.
Here is my understanding of what happened. At some point during the fight Trayvon spotted George’s gun in its waistband holster at that point...whomever got control of the gun ended the fight. George won. Justifiable self defense...

Staying in jail may be the best thing that could happen to Zimmerman. He has tomahawked himself playing hide-and-seek with the money and passport. I think that he’s his own worst enemy. In jail, it costs him nothing, he’s safe, and opportunities for him to do something to make his legal situation worse are at a minimum.
Can this judge possibly be seen as impartial by anyone?
Oh, I guess that's the point. We don't want an impartial judge. We want to be safe from civil unrest.
“It is entirely reasonable for this court to find that, but for the requirement that he be placed on electronic monitoring, the defendant and his wife would have fled the United States with at least $130,000 of other people’s money.”
*******************************
It is not other peoples money—it is Zimmerman’s money. It was a gift freely given. The judge makes it appear that Zimmerman stole the money.
Dumb judge....The blacks would hunt Zimmerman down like he was a cougar and lynch him.
I wouldn’t blame him for jumping bail. A person is under no obligation to allow himself to be lynched.
With this kind of corruption in Florida, there is NO CHANCE Florida will be allowed to go Republican in a presidential election!
So, GZ- who has cooperated 100% with police every step of the way, including coming to police any time he was assked, staying in constant contact with them and even coming in on his own to be arrested- was suddenly going to skip town?
based on what evidence?
or did the judge just pull this out of his ass?
Then why didn’t he? He had every opportunity to do so yet he immediately surrendered himself once bail was revoked. This is one of the most biased, a** covering statements I’ve ever heard from the bench. That this excuse was invented after the fact is so obvious it’s really quite breathtaking.
When it is said he had a “second” passport, is that a Peruvian passport? I hope so.
None the less, when this is over and done with, he will become a zillionair after he wins all his lawsuits.
I wouldn't blame him if he ran from the lynch mob.
And the judge has what evidence?
Prejudicial comments from the judge. Time to ask for a replacement.
It is established in law that "defamation" is the use of damaging lies about someone utilizing the spoken form of slander.
This kangaroo-court judge is obviously influenced and reassured by the example of the U.S. president who breaks, bends, twists and ignores laws and the Constitution at will....and no one seems to be able to stop him.
To sum up, IMHO this aggressively-biased Florida judge is apparently GUILTY of blatant defamation against the defendant.....and appears strongly motivated to TAINT a potential jury pool with said defamation. Next case.

Zimmerman has a strong case for a new judge...
Judge Lester is an amazing psychic and clairvoyant. He was able without any testimony or evidence presented by the state to find this "reasonable" conclusion.
Where and how far were these two people supposed to have fled to with $130,000??? Is he for real??? and his parents and grandmother would be losing the homes that they put up as collateral.
And yet, despite all the evidence for GZ's self defense claim that was presented to the court on the 29th that he acknowledged that he looked at, he was unable to reach any kind of finding. Really??? This defendant has the facts and law on his side -- that should have been the finding -- and thus he is not likely to run.
What is so hard about telling the truth, your honor??? Aren't you under oath too???
So there are three major wins for the pro-Trayvon crowd here. First, the judge says things designed to dry up Zimmermans donation pool. Second, the judge says things designed to taint the potential jury pool. Third, the judge sets a bail designed to pauperize Zimmerman and deny him the defense he’s entitled to.
There are two possibilites. One, the judge is corrupt and trying to set Zimmerman up for a quick and easy conviction. Two, the judge is corrupt AND a coward and doing these things in an effort to get himself removed from the case.
Zimmerman has become a political football, driven by the worst brand of politics -- those of race. "Justice", whatever that is, has already gone right out the window.
A lesson for all CCW holders who end up successfully defending themselves against one of "Obama's sons".
