[Verginius Rufus]

The judge appears to be saying that GZ has presented no evidence he acted in self-defense. Does that mean that the photos and other evidence O'Mara introduced at the hearing are meaningless as far as the judge is concerned?

It appears that the only chance for acquittal is if GZ can get a different judge--this one is determined to have him found guilty. Restricting him to Seminole County doesn't give him a lot of places to hide from people wanting to collect the bounty the NBPP announced. At 308 square miles it's one of the smallest counties in Florida.

He acknowledged the evidence and that he looked at it, but he listed no "finding" as to what the evidence meant. I'd be willing to bet that it did influence his decision to grant bail, but he won't admit it in writing.

The judge has definitely put his life in danger with this ruling. His attorney should appeal it. He might be better off in jail rather than trying to meet these new restrictions.
