“Look again on page 4 of 8 of the motion. The state left out the part of the transcript in which Shellie offered to call her brother-in-law. And it wasn’t that the state cut off the testimony. They left out the middle. Do you think the judge went back to make sure the state hadn’t tried to deceive him? “
Excellent question. Who will ask it of the judge?
And if the recorded eavesdropping was also selectively edited, that raises questions about that too. I think maybe the judge should look at the whole thing to see if the state was misleading him. Would O’Mara have seen the full transcript of the tapes, or heard the whole thing?
I think the large amount of money given by donations should be a clue to Corey, Judge Lester, etc that the American people trust this system, prosecutor, and media about as much as Zimmerman did during that time period when Z’s lawyer said he was afraid and confused. Who was it who rightly said that it’s not only Zimmerman who has to earn back trust? The integrity of the whole system is shot to heck with the lies, witness tampering, and prosecutorial misconduct in this case, much like in the Duke lacrosse case with Mike Nifong.
One other thing about bail. If he put up his parents’ home as security for bail, that is worth more than money. For me to skip town and send my parents out on their ears after all they have done for me would be a shame that no $200,000 could even begin to touch.
Might have been me. I mentioned that trust is a two way street. Judges chronically forget that, or just flat out don;t care because, to them, it's all and only about power.

Yes, it is. Calling what is going on with Zimmerman "rule of law" is a farce. It is rule by mob, using the court as a prop.

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.
