Cha-CHING! Since Friday July 6th, Zimmerman's website has raked in another $36K. Whatta GOON!



George Zimmerman leaves the James K. Polk Correctional Facility in Sanford after posting bond for the second time -- Friday July 6, 2012.

SANFORD -- George Zimmerman is waking up at a safe house in Seminole County today.

Zimmerman bonded out of jail Friday and hasn't been seen since. This week, we expect new evidence could be released in the case.

We’re waiting for more evidence to be released here at the Seminole County Courthouse. We know there are more witness interviews and jail phone conversations that could be a part of evidence.

Donations keep coming in from supporters of George Zimmerman. Since Zimmerman's release Friday, his attorneys said they received more than $36,000 in donations to Zimmerman's website. This is in addition to the $15,000 posted from Zimmerman's first bond. He came up with another $85,000 to post on Friday to reach the $100,000 -- the 10 percent of his $1 million bond.

From the article: "Zimmerman's attorney said having him out jail is going to be crucial in his case because they can work with him. He said now that Zimmerman is out, the next few months will be about trying to prove his claims of self-defense in the night he shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin."

Sounds like they are going to coach him to lie on the stand about what really happened that night. A few months of practice, and even GZ can tell a convincing lie about how the teenager "beat him up and threatened his life."

7. The 10% is a non-refundable fee to a bail bond company for posting the full amount

The bail bond company gets paid for having its funds put at risk and tied up where they can't earn interest.

That's the way bail bonds have always worked.

8. I see he got rid of the "I'm a badass MS13 gangsta" look with shaved head and goatee

and has switched to the clean shaven hair on the head business man look prepping for trial. I wonder who told him to do that.

10. I'm surprised that the judge hasn't put a stop to this or ordered Zimmerman to disclose his donors yet.
