My understanding is that it WASN’T a bail hearing, which is why the questions caught Shellie by surprise, before they had even spoken with their lawyer about how the website money worked.

Yes, you are mistaken. Shellie's testimony about the PayPal account was at George's first bail hearing on April 20th here

When Shellie was asked about the PayPal account, she referred the judge and prosecutor to her brother-in-law to get the total. Neither took her up on the offer.

Subsequent to that hearing, there was another hearing on 4/27 in which O'Mara disclosed the approximate total and told the judge that the money had been transferred into a trust. At that hearing, Judge Lester said that he didn't know if he could tap the PayPal money for bail. If even the judge didn't know, how could the Zimmermans know?? The video is here

The hearing that was supposed to be about media access to the discovery took place on June 1. The judge allowed the prosecution (over the objection of O'Mara) to file a bond revocation motion. George had a right to confront his accusers and also to have time to prepare to defend against the motion, but the judge denied him those due process rights and revoked the bond on the spot.

Who knows how truthful the motion was. The quotes from the jail phone calls may have been heavily edited. The prosecution has already been caught editing Shellie Zimmerman's testimony to make her look untruthful. Video here

Thanks for the correction.

Sounds like O’Mara and the Zimmermans are screwed because the JUDGE denied due process.

Does O’Mara get access to the raw (unedited) audio of the taped phone calls?

Sounds like the judge and prosecutor should get a room...
