This is a baaaaaaaaaaad judge. This has been nothing more than a lynching. May all the agitators rot in hell....along with the judge.
No. Zimmerman was an idiot - he lied under oath about his financial situation. Funny thing about courts, when you swear to tell the truth; and then tell a flat-out lie, then afterwards are on a monitored phone in prison and discuss your lies - the courts seem to frown on that.
In a case where so much of Zimmerman’s defence relies upon his word (as well as physical evidence, drug tests on Trayvon, dective reports) - providing the Prosecution ammunition for a witch-hunt is just bone-headed stupid.
If you or I were being tried, and we lied to the judge about our financial situation with regard to bail - it’s quite likely the same events would happen to us.
The fact that this is even going to trial, that the Prosecution is ignoring the facts - is just race baiting. And, hopefully just like previous Prosecutors who made policical decisions and ignored the facts (Duke LaCross team, for example), the odds are fair that the Prosecutor will find himself fired, debarred and thrown out on his butt (as, IMHO, he so richly deserves).
But, Zimmerman lied, and for this is being punished - in accordance with the law. Perhaps this portion of his story is the only portion that has legal merit. The fact that he is even being charged is, IMHO, entirely bogus.
