That's a big IF. Judge Lester refused to allow enough time for O’Mara to have Zimmerman at the bond revocation hearing or to prepare to respond to the prosecutor's charges, pretty clearly a violation of GZ’s rights to confront his accusers and his due process rights. The hearing was supposed to be about media access to the discovery materials, not a bond hearing. I think it was unconscionable for the judge to entertain the motion at that hearing, especially after the prosecution deceptively edited Shellie Zimmerman's testimony as shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpzBX9Q56Ws What else might they have "edited" to make it look like the Zimmermans had evil intent?
Nice posting ‘Aunt Polgara’! Of course the “usual suspects” who rise up here on Free Republic to bad mouth Zimmerman, everything he does and all members of his family don’t bother to look into things to this level of detail. They just want to make assumptions that will support their irrational “hang ‘em high” prejudgements.
Those folks are despicable IMHO!
You are entirely correct. Anyone accused of a crime in our system has the right to confront their accusers. In this case the prosecution was accusing the Zimmerman’s of misleading the court — not perjury even. Judge Lester denied them a hearing on the issue. The prosecution obviously knows that they can get away with twisting the facts in his court.
