Do you know that they did not tell their lawyer? I suspect that they did tell him and he was aware. I also think the fact that the original representing attorneys withdrew because of the web site and the donations was known to O’Mara from the outset. O’Mara has screwed up twice IMO first with the passports and now with this. He should have prepped and or represented his clients better.
It’s possible Zimmerman told O’Mara, but O’Mara went on CNN before the prosecutor’s charges claiming all he was told Zimmerman had was a couple thousand dollars.

Wouldn’t be the first time this lawyer screwed up if he had been told, but that’s a big mistake for a lawyer to make. The court WILL find out this stuff.
