>>Would O’Mara have seen the full transcript of the tapes, or heard the whole thing?<<
I don’t believe that MOM had access to the tapes until 8:30 in the morning of the hearing. I sure wouldn’t trust a transcript of the phone calls.
There was speculation on another website that maybe the reason MOM was putting off asking for another bond hearing is because he was going to go on the offensive against the state for misrepresenting the phone calls or even going after the judge.
I've asked before, I'm asking again ... a link please.
Not to split hairs or anything... but the fund was set up expressly for legal defense... and living expenses. Perhaps in their minds it was “theirs”... that's why they were moving it around. She had the correct answer herself...
It also looks like the original fund was set up illegally... a violation of Florida Statute 496.413... a felony of the third degree.
I think he put it off because he knew he would be turned down. Zimmerman who is destitute and dependent upon charity just lost $15,000 down the rathole all based upon the filing of a prosecutor who misled the very same court in her opening statement. Worst yet, she even admits it in a phone call to Harvard University.
A transcript of that phone call needs to be turned over to the court and MOM needs to ask for a dismissal of all charges, and an investigation of her misconduct, including witness tampering.
The question that they may have been wrestling with was whether use of the money for bailbond fell under the category of "legal defense". For the court to take the Paypal account into consideration for bailbond would have precluded what the account was set up for.
Perhaps in their minds it was “theirs”... that's why they were moving it around.
Perhaps in their minds they also felt responsible to the donors for it and did not feel that using it for bailbond would be in keeping with what was promised on the website.
She had the correct answer herself...
Yeh -- "I don't know".
It also looks like the original fund was set up illegally... a violation of Florida Statute 496.413... a felony of the third degree.
I don't think that any of the donors to that fund give a rats behind about that statute. They wanted it handled with due diligence and it was by GZ and Shellie. Besides they are only in violation if they don't have a trustee and who is to say that GZ's brother was not the trustee??? That was what she indicated to the judge in her answers but he chose to not pursue it further. Perhaps he just didn't want to know.
kerping ... and thanks for the ping to the Memorial Day sermon.
Tom did not die by hanging. Also, I read an article about the neighbor watch program and there is a national program that offers advice and information. According to this org., Zimmerman did everything wrong. You do not give chase, you to not pursue, you do not make any contact, and you do not carry a gun. You watch and report. Thats it. I am sick of these threads that portray Zimmerman as a hero and Martin a thug. I am sick that Zimmerman’s past gets a total pass, while Martin is the “thug.” I listened to all the 911 tapes and I defy you to argue that Zimmerman was calm and simply reporting. He was angry and called Martin a “fucking asshole.” This was before any contact and before he left the car. Yeah, Zimmerman is a hothead with a gun. We disagree, but I don’t call names. BTW, I like this site, I’m staying. I plan on making a donation today so I feel I have the right to be here as much as you.
You are presently the biggest blemish this site has.
You are against everything we stand for here. You belong at one of the standard leftie race-baiting forums.
You’ll be the protagonist in a new book: “To Kill an Eagle”
I can't speak to how all other countries handle it, but U.S. passports have the number printed in them in a format easily regognized by the optical character readers U.S. border agents use, which I believe interface with State Department computers to display the passport status on screens used by the agents.
Last I checked, trying to escape from a correctional facility was a crime, and inmates are aware that the guards may "shoot to kill". So, though I have every sympathy for his wrongful conviction, trying to escape he was as much "taking the law into his own hands" as a vigilante. Tom Robinson was killed committing a crime which was the proximate cause of his death. So, as much as one may sympathize with him, he is responsible for his own death.
Arguing the Zimmerman case before ALL the facts are out, and evidence is subjected to scrutiny, is useless. People have chosen a side based on emotion and choose the evidence they consider relevaant based on which side they have chosen.
It is a waste of time to attempt a logical discussion with BLOC77, his position is Sarah Bardy’s position WRT private guns:
>> “Zimmerman did everything wrong. You do not give chase, you to not pursue, you do not make any contact, and you do not carry a gun. You watch and report.” <<
By his method, Zimmerman would now be dead, and the thug Trayvon Martin would be getting kid glove handling at most.
