LAKE MARY, Fla. —
The man accused of shooting at George Zimmerman bonded out of jail Saturday afternoon.
Channel 9 was there as Matthew Apperson walked out of the Seminole County Jail. He had no comment.
A judge set a $35,000 bond for Apperson earlier in the day and ordered him to turn in any guns to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office within 24 hours of his release, and to have no contact with Zimmerman.
"I don't care whether you've been shopping at Publix for two hours and have a full cart of groceries or whatever. You see Mr. Zimmerman walking through that door, you're the one that has to leave," the judge said.

You are correct. It was almost gleeful the way the local news pounced on the first report. In fact, it led off the hourly news.
After some facts became known, it was gone.
I believe that you hit the jackpot.
Zimmerman getting off betrayed their monster, nationwide lie that whites are violently, needlessly, killing blacks. Soros, Obama’s Justice Department, and others have poured in millions and shipped protesters around the country to convince everyone that that falsehood is true.
And Zimmerman had the temerity not to get wrongly convicted.
the only witness for the prosecution against George Zimmerman at trial said that Trayvon Martin thought George Zimmerman was rapist coming to abduct him, thus did the witness provide the jury with a motive for why Trayvon Martin would double-back, hide, & attack George Zimmerman.
evidence shows that George Zimmerman called the police on Trayvon Martin 56 minutes after he left 7-11 on what should have been a less than 10 minute walk....and that Martin did not check in at the security gate when he came back from 7-11 after hours, but snuck into the complex through a hole in the fence......like a gang member/burglar would do.
There is no evidence that Trayvon Martin fled because Zimmerman threatened him or chased him....in fact the only real evidence there was was Zimmerman’s recorded phone conversations with the police dispatcher, which show that Zimmerman was not at all in an aggressive state, but that he was afraid to confront the stranger...and that’s why he called the police to do it....like a good Block Watch member.
Evidence shows it was Trayvon Martin who circled George Zimmerman as he sat in his vehicle, then took off running....or started to run, then decided not to. It is obvious that Zimmerman was suspicious of Martin’s BEHAVIOR, not his color....considering that the town of Sanford, FLA is 40% black..and the gated middle class condo complex where Zimmerman was staying (average price around $70,000).....was 51% minority/49% white by population....and Zimmerman was on the Block Watch with several black members....who testified at trial what a nice guy he was...and even called him “Georgie”. The black woman who headed the Block Watch testified at trial that Zimmerman was “timid” and she wanted him to be more aggressive...and Zimmerman’s personal trainer testified that he couldn’t fight his way out of a paper bag & therefore never would put himself in a street fight or confront a stranger he felt might be dangerous.
It is clear that when Martin circled Zimmerman’s vehicle and then fled, Zimmerman believed that flight was evidence of GUILT and that Martin ran because he saw that Zimmerman was on the phone with cops. Most likely, Martin really fled because he wondered if Zimmerman was watching him and wanted to threaten him & check him out....but when he saw Zimmerman talking on the cell phone, Martin probably thought that Zimmerman was driving slow and pulling over just to talk on the phone and realized how aggressively and provocatively he was acting and decided to put some distance between him and Zimmerman so as not to look like a threat or put himself in harm’s way, just in case Zimmerman was some kind of child abductor.
The extent of Zimmerman following Martin all is captured on police tape recording, as well as the reason why Zimmerman got out of his car and followed-—NONE of which supports the prosecution’s narrative and all of which supports Zimmerman’s story,as corroborated also by eyewitnesses.
The police non-emergency dispatchers asked Zimmerman “which direction is he running?”...and that is the reason why Zimmerman got out of his car to follow after Martin...just to see which direction he was running out of the complex to report it to police so that police could find and question him. Common sense and reason tells one that the reason why Zimmerman called the police in the first place was because he wanted the police to confront Martin because he was afraid to....so there’s no reason to believe that once Zimmerman believed that Martin was a guilty criminal after he fled that Zimmerman would suddenly find courage to chase and confront him, when he didn’t have the courage to do it when he thought Martin was just a suspicious character and not a guilty one.
That is why the only way the prosecution could explain their story was to speculate that Zimmerman “snapped, but then unsnapped....and within seconds concocted a brilliant lie to tell police!” (not a direct quote, but the gist of what the prosecution argued....and their only witness both admitted that she lied for money...and provided Martin with a motive for attacking Zimmerman instead of vice-verse!!!!!) Give me a break!
Zimmerman got out of his car trying to spot Martin to tell the police which way Martin ran, because he thought police ASKED him to follow Martin and he thought it was SAFE to follow. After all...if you believe that Martin is running away because he knows you called the cops, then you believe that he’s both a criminal...AND that he’s going to keep on running and no longer is a threat to you. Zimmerman followed after Martin only to see where he was running and only because he thought that it was safe to.....and not with any intent to catch Martin.
Police tape recording shows that Zimmerman got out of his vehicle and followed only for a few seconds.....and in that few seconds, the tape gives no indication that Zimmerman was close to Martin or even had sight of him. In fact, if Zimmerman actually was close to Martin, Martin would have seen and known that Zimmerman was talking on his cell phone to police.....but you don’t hear Martin screaming or saying “Hey, tell this guy to stop following me” to police...which he could have done if Zimmerman were close to him. Plus, we also know that Trayvon Martin had a cell phone and easily could have called the police himself if he felt threatened...and easily could have run away, too.
But it wasn’t Martin who called the police to claim somebody with a gun was following him....it was Zimmerman who called police to tell them a stranger was lurking near houses after dark and appeared to be a burglar...that the stranger was acting erratically and even aggressively and Zimmerman was afraid of him.....too afraid to get out of his car unless and until cops asked him to and he thought it was safe to....ie, the burglar fleeing for the exist with the cops on the way.
Evidence of the police tape proved that Zimmerman lost sight of Martin and stopped following him as soon as the police told him they didn’t need him following...and Zimmerman stayed on the phone with police dispatcher for over 1 minute after he stopped following Martin and only had followed after him for less than 20 seconds and 90 feet....with Martin far ahead.
Zimmerman lost sight of him and when he hung up with the police, it is obvious that Zimmerman thinks Martin ran and is long gone out of the condo complex. Zimmerman’s flashlight and car keys were found in the grass at the “T” in the sidewalk with his car just 90 feet away, proving Zimmerman’s story that he was walking back to his car with a flashlight in one hand and car keys in the other hand when Martin came up behind HIM in a threatening way, then attacked Zimmerman when Zimmerman grabbed into his pocket to get his cell phone. It is obvious that Martin thought that when Zimmerman made a sudden move into his pocket to grab his cell phone, that Martin saw this as Zimmerman grabbing for a weapon...so instead of flight, Martin had committed to fight and savagely attacked Zimmerman -—thinking that Zimmerman was pulling a weapon on him.
Zimmerman was taken by surprise and his nose was broken...meaning that he could see through his eyes and couldn’t breathe through his nose.....and that blood, sweat and tears were draining down his throat and also making it difficult to breathe through his mouth. Martin easily took control of Zimmerman as Zimmerman begged a nearby eyewitness for HELP then started to scream for help when the eyewitness refused to get involved and ran inside to call the police instead. We can hear Zimmerman’s helpless screams captured on police tape, corroborated by Zimmerman and the eyewitness.
Moreover, another witness originally testified that she heard a “low, mean voice” and a “high, frightened voice” but later changed her testimony to for political reasons.....but the 7-11 surveillance video shows that it was Trayvon Martin who had the “low, mean voice” which corroborates Zimmerman’s testimony that Martin told him “shut up, mutha-f’er” then said “you’re dead” when he saw the gun. Since Martin attacked Zimmerman because he thought that Zimmerman was grabbing for a weapon when in reality, Zimmerman was only grabbing for his cell phone.....when Martin saw the gun, it confirmed his suspicions that Zimmerman was out to get HIM. So he went for the gun. Up until that point, Zimmerman only chose to scream for help and avoid further head injury....so Martin thought he had the situation under control and that Zimmerman could not fight back. So he relaxed a little and stopped beating Zimmerman just exactly at the same time Zimmerman believed he had to fight back to save his life. Zimmerman said Martin sat up and gave him a chance to grab his gun and get off one shot.
Zimmerman did not act angry after the shooting, didn’t demand a lawyer...and openly answered police questions, passed police tricks and even passed a lie detector test. Never once did Zimmerman mention race after the shooting, act defiant of the police or act like he’d snapped or had malice in his heart. Zimmerman never screamed at cops “I was standing my ground”, etc...to indicate any kind of forethought or premeditation........and when the police told Zimmerman that a neighbor caught the whole incident on videotape, Zimmerman told his interrogator “I was hoping somebody taped the whole thing so you’d believe me”. All the evidence pointed that the incident was a tragic mistake that Zimmerman was not expected, looking for or provoking and that he DID have reason to fear for his life and was innocent of all charges.
Not only didn’t the prosecution prove their case against Zimmerman...there was no case against Zimmerman...and after the trial the prosecutor Corey admitted she had no idea what happened that night or who started the fight but thought if only she could make the jury think Zimmerman was a liar, then the female jury would ignore the evidence and find him guilty on mommy-emotion by making the trial about Trayvon Martin’s mother’s ‘feelings”. The prosecution should go to jail for bringing the case to trial, for intimidating witnesses, for their role in denying Zimmerman his constitutional RIGHT to bail, etc
and one more fact. Trayvon Martin was only 400 feet from Brandi Green’s place ( 30 seconds MAX) while Zimmerman was still on the phone with cops for over 2 minutes....meaning that Martin had plenty of time to get home and avoid any threat from Zimmerman...if he wanted to.
Again, the more one learns about this case, the more one comes to the conclusion that the only rational, sane answers are that the guy has connections somewhere in high plces.
Apperson’s wife, Liza Mariel Irizarry-Apperson is listed as a member of the Florida Democratic Party. Matthew B. Apperson, likely the same one, is also listed as a party member.
While they’re at it, why don’t they arrest Zimmerman on charges of obstructing the path of a projectile minding its own business. Then, dispense with the trial and take him straight to the gas chamber. Makes about as much sense.
Let me guess why! Now I’m going to read the story and see if there is a ‘clue’.
OK, I stand corrected and that’s a good thing!
However, George took the high road and didn’t fire back. That’s not bad
for a guy accused of being a murderer.
Me too. How is he not a threat?
They're letting him out to give him another crack at it.
Checking out other articles online, I found the Judge who released him is Michael Rudisill. Did a search on him, and discovered he was appointed by Charlie Crist. According to one article, he was the least qualified of the group he picked from.
Low bond, Zimmerman lives don’t matter.
Zimmerman is the victim, even if he had a lawyer representing him it this matter he wouldn’t have any involvement at this point. This is the state charging this creep.
35,000 bail?
huh?
Beyond rediculous. Attempted murder and the perp walks on 35k bond? This judge needs to be recalled.
His wife is kinda cute, she must be off her rocker as well....
The whole family is strange.
