George Zimmerman's wife arrested, charged with perjury [Appealing to the Obama/Sharpton Lynch Mob]

Earlier this month, a judge threw George Zimmerman back in jail, after prosecutors said Zimmerman and his wife misled the court about their finances.

On Tuesday, his wife, Shellie Zimmerman, was booked into the same facility on a perjury charge.

According to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, deputies were alerted by prosecutors Tuesday that a warrant had been issued for Shellie Zimmerman, 25. She was arrested about 3:30 p.m. "at the location she was residing in Seminole County," deputies said in a statement

Good question. I don’t know. It’s not important at this juncture or instant in time. Zimmerman will need the money later, more than he needs it now.

[ozzie]

Just read her testimony. The judge asked her about the web site and she said she didn’t know how much money had been contributed. When asked who would know she said her brother. For THIS they are charging her with perjury???? WTF. Sounds like total BS to me.

How ridiculous

all this judge's questioning about family finance was for the judge to set a bond

Now....is bond supposed to be based on family assets?
Or on the severity of a crime and the risk that the defendant will flee before trials????

Does this judge routinely ask the black folks that come before him if their extended family will pool assets to make bond?

Zimmerman turned himself in and showed no signs of being a flight risk (even though his life is in jeopardy). He was fully cooperative with the judge.

I can understand a young family that had just lost everything - their jobs, their home, their safety, living in hiding - to consider themselves “indigent” - not knowing what was their means of support aside from using this newly-established fund to pay the lawyer bills in a desparate effort to keep Zimmerman out of jail and save his life

The lawyer was in process of taking over this fund or did so within days of this court appearance, since it was growing so fast

[Cementjungle]

then the judge would just raise his bail, wouldn’t he?

I think the judge wants to skip all that red tape associated with trials and stuff, and simply proceed to the execution phase of the process.

The CBC threatens race riots yesterday and *bam*, George's bail is revoked and Mrs. Zimmerman is in handcuffs.

I guess the message was received.

The government allows 17 year olds to join the military and fight & die for this country. Doesn’t sound like they’re children to me.

> The lesson is being broadcast far and wide; kill a black, even in self defense, and you and your family will be crushed even unto death.

It may be that somebody in N.E. Ohio learned the lesson. A few days after all this hit the fan something set off a road rage case that ended when one driver got out of his car and approached the driver of the other, who proceeded to shoot once and take off, thus avoiding becoming another Zimmerman. To this date, AFIK, he has not been apprehended.

the same way they tied up Sarah Palin’s legal defense fund

Legal maneuvers. Freeze disbursement, stop collecting, file more charges, assess financial penalties and run up more legal bills

Sarah’s legal team eventually got access to use her legal defense fund to pay her legal bills but it cost them time and even more money. She had to leave the governor’s office and use her fame to make her own money to finish paying off her legal harassment bills, Zimmerman is not so famous or smart

[MortMan]

from what I have read, the “bond hearing” was supposed to be for some other purpose, and the defense attorney wasn’t informed that the bond motion would be heard. Preparing for the wrong battle is a sure fire recipe for failure, the same as not preparing for the battle at all.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I have not heard of this one. Was it a white/black fight?

[OldCorps]

This is so wrong. Governmnet out of control. Arrest the prosecutor. Arrest the politicians. Lets put an end to this mess.

[ilgipper]

I know everyone is focused on when the black riots will take place, but this is getting so ridiculous, I am ready to head to Sanford to start a protest. This is indeed statism at its core.

On 4/20/12 (at the original bond hearing) the Judge did know about the paypal account and did question Shellie about it. She acknowledge the account, said she did not know how much was in it, but told the Judge who did know.

See here testimony (LINK) page 26, starting on line 15.

[meatloaf]

That was all the effort of one individual that was harassing Palin. We’re looking at apples and oranges here.

Thanks for posting the testimony transcript exonerating Z's wife. I've already used it in a post (LINK)

[Uncle Chip]

You got it —

[khelus]

The court knew all about the money. Read Shellie Zimmerman’s testimony:

She stated she did not know what was in the web site account, and that her brother in law could provide the information!

This is a pure unmitigated travesty.

[Carriage Hill]

Wouldn’t this apply to her coerced testimony?

[SoFloFreeper]

No, Shellie Zimmerman told the court exactly how to find out how much money was in the account, and neither the prosecution, nor the judge were interested enough to contact the brother-in-law to find out. The money changed daily, and she didn't know the current total. She declined to give an estimate.

Exactly!

The lynch mob out for Zim's blood is disgusting, even if they prance around here on FR.
