1. I watched the whole thing, and here is how lawyers are lying scum......

....

When the issue of the level of bail/bond came up, his lawyer went on about how "he has ties to the community, knows people, etc. etc. etc."

Okay, fine.

Then, when the judge said that a third party should go back to the house to retrieve his belongings, the lawyer said "he doesn't know anyone who could do that for him"!!!

WTF?? Which is it, it can't be both!!!!

3. I'll be watching later

But that was a really good catch!

[ancianita]

4. Heh heh.

[Little Star]

6. Was there any clue as to her being pregnant or not?....

Damn I can't believe I picked that time to go grocery shopping. Maybe there will be a youtube, I hope.

[George II]

11. At the press conference afterward, his lawyers said they weren't sure if she was pregnant....

....the whole thing was maybe 15-20 minutes, I'm sure someone will have it later.

But back to the pregnancy, they showed her leaving the house yesterday afternoon, my guess is that she's pregnant.

[Little Star]

15. Thanks

[George II]

35. Follow up - turns out that she isn't pregnant, I guess I was presumptous in my view of her?

2. Up here in Illinois, the aggravated assault bond in my case was set at $75,000. (Victim here)

I think we take pointing a gun at an unarmed person more seriously, maybe.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

5. "cannot possess any firearms"

Now watch the Right Wing claim the courts want to make him a sitting duck for all the scary black assassin ganbangers out there gunning for him.

[durablend]

7. Oh they'll be blaming the president soon enough

"DAMN YOU O BUMMER!!! YER NOT TAKIN AWAY MAH GUNS TOO!!!!"

[Spitfire of ATJ]

12. Then they'll smash a glass table in solidarity.

[Jim Lane]

32. You're a day late.

In this thread that appeared on FR yesterday, post #4 reads:

Zimmerman should move out of the country. It's obvious that Holder has it in for him and he's being Alinskyed.

I hate this POS administration.

Post #14 adds:

Bad case of PTSD. His life is over thanks to the press and race hustlers, our President included. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him commit suicide at some future date.

To be fair, however, I should note that Zimmerman has now lost even some of the Freepers -- e.g., in #16, "He’s an idiot. He’s already had more than a lifetime’s worth of stupid preventable mishaps."

[AAO]

14. We can only dream...

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. Don't you know by now it's our side that drops like flies?

[AAO]

17. Are you speaking in euphemisms? Not sure I understand.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

18. When was the last time you heard of a RW leader or even one of their darlings getting popped?

[AAO]

23. Popped? Hey SFOATJ, you must be 40 years younger than me

[Spitfire of ATJ]

24. Naw,...I've just been needling people longer.

[OldRedneck]

8. I give him two weeks

Assuming he can raise the bail $$, I give him two weeks before he violates one or more of the judge's conditions . . . then he'll be in the slammer until his trial.

[struggle4progress]

22. He's out on bail now

[chillfactor]

27. no not until tomorrow...

and on the conditions he gives up all his weapons, wears a tracking device, and under the restriction that he cannot leave the state

29. George Zimmerman granted $9,000 bond, released from jail

Public defender: Zimmerman is $2.5 million in debt

By Rene Stutzman and Jeff Weiner, Orlando Sentinel
6:28 p.m. EST, November 19, 2013

SANFORD — A beleaguered George Zimmerman walked out of the Seminole County Jail on Tuesday, free on bail from his latest brush with the law ....

Defense attorney Daniel Megaro met with Zimmerman at the jail before Tuesday's hearing. He and co-counsel Jeff Dowdy, both with the Public Defender's Office, said they saw no evidence that their client was volatile, suicidal or seriously mentally ill ...

Dowdy said that Zimmerman is indigent and in $2.5 million in debt ... In court paperwork, Zimmerman wrote that he has a total of $144 ...

9. Gimme my guns!!

10. So the pregnancy allegation

Came from him?

The press, followed by the public, immediately assumed it was from her and started at her when it was reported to be untrue.

It's bad enough she decided to get involved with this menace. I don't even want to go there because I simply can't understand it.

But then for her to have to face "liar" accusations as well as a lot of other disparaging comments is truly unfair.

[JustAnotherGen]

26. I didn't

I listened to both calls. It was clearly him. He is the liar - not her.

[Sophiegirl]

31. What I should have said is...

..."before the tapes were made available...."

[AAO]

13. So he has to "cough up" $900. Pathetic.

[heaven05]

19. 900 hundred dollars

I knew he'd skate. The 'authorities' love this guy. Nothing will come of this. Period.

[Jim Lane]

33. I would have ROR'd him (no bail required).

Everyone, even George Zimmerman, is entitled to the presumption of innocence. Bail isn't supposed to be used to punish someone before there's been a trial, let alone a conviction. Its sole legitimate purpose is to secure the defendant's attendance at trial.

Zimmerman is not a flight risk. He has a highly recognizable face. In fact, his notoriety (equating to popularity with the right wing) is just about his only significant asset. He's not going to try to drop out of sight, and he wouldn't succeed if he did.

[heaven05]

34. that POS should be in prison

but the racist pigs in Sanford(jackie robinson), fla saw it different. So be it. He's crusin for a bruisin. He'll probably find it, I hope.

20. She says he tried to choke her

George Zimmerman's girlfriend said he tried to choke her about a week ago during an altercation that wasn't initially reported to police, a prosecutor told a judge Tuesday during his first court appearance on domestic violence-related charges.

The prosecutor said Zimmerman's girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe, was in fear for her life because Zimmerman mentioned suicide and said he "had nothing to lose." Zimmerman's public defenders said after the hearing that he didn't appear to be suicidal.

21. He has just been released on bail,

according to the local Atlanta news station WSBTV, but there are not further details.

[frogmarch]

25. Right now, he is probably

making a list of assault weapons he can carry that aren't guns:

knife
club (baseball bat, etc.)
electroshock weapon (stun gun)

[riverwalker]

28. Here's his application for "Indigent Status"

"Income: 0" "Liabilities: 2.5 Million" Wish I remembered my handwriting analysis, he has a psycho "G" like my ex.....


:large

[Sanity Claws]

30. It also says he has no address
