I hope when the dust settles from this case that Zimmerman is a wealthy man if he attains his wealth through contributions, more power to him. When I donated, his web site clearly stated that money would be used for his legal and personal use.
I fully expect him and his lawyers to sue the lying media for all the willful misrepresentations they made concerning him and his case and from what I’ve read, they have pretty good looking cases.
The man is being rail roaded by racists.
I agree! Zimmerman and his wife have been deprived of any way to support themselves by a rabid media bent on crucifying George for doing his part to secure his neighborhood. The Zimmermans will live in fear for the rest of their lives, regardless of the legal outcome.
And for those who are pontificating about the money being “misspent”; how would you like to be having a conversation about having to buy bulletproof vests for yourself, your wife and your child?
Maybe 'Ken' will be the wealthy man.
In one of the calls George asked Shellie what the totals were in the accounts. She said around $155 . . .of course, meaning one-hundred and fifty-five thousand. George said, "I thought Ken said it was like 300k". And Shellie answered, "No, he inflated it".
If I had sent money to 'support' George I would be demanding to see Ken's financial records. Ken is the person who had access to all the paypal accounts and was able to do bank transfers.
What if Ken stole a 100k or more from George?
Mark O'Mara said that when he was made aware of the money that George had raised 204k and that they had spent or held onto about 50k, leaving 155k or so. The Zimmermans check to O'Mara was for 122k. So that means they actually spent 82k or held onto more than O'Mara knows about . . . maybe in the safety deposit box.
It really makes me wonder if either Ken stole the money from the account, or if he transferred money to another account for George and Shellie to hide. Something doesn't sound right about 'he inflated it'. Why would you inflate 'it', the balance?
I looked at the bank records released and they are only for the Zimmerman's Credit Union. Maybe we need to see a list of ALL the donors and the amounts they donated. I realize that George's fans don't think that should be public and neither does O'Mara, but I think it needs to be addressed again with the judge.
George himself was told his account had 300k in it, so at the very least there is a missing 96k. If I had donated to George I would DEMAND to see Ken's financial records AND the paypal records to VERIFY and CONFIRM that my money had not been stolen by Ken.
But George's fan club doesn't care what happens to their money, so if Ken did steal it, then they'll just send George more.
