Zimmerman should have jumped bail and headed for a country with no extradition when he had the chance.

He's going to get railroaded into prison no matter what.

Hopefully when this shit storm is over, the good people of Florida, DOJ investigators, and FL Bar will pick over these proceedings with a fine toothed comb and give Corey and this judge the dry ass hole fucking they are so loudly asking for.

Either that or a swarm of fucking kill dozers.  I'm good either way.

So that's $100,000 to a bondsman that Zimmerman doesn't get back, correct? Is the Judge pissed over the defense fund and trying to wipe it out? That's what it looks like.

If a Bondsman coughs up the $1M, how much is Zimmerman actually expected to pay?

I don't think his bail would be forfeited. That usually happens because you missed court, but he showed up and just had his bail raised. I would think whoever posted the original bail could get it back, but maybe I am missing something.  


I meant that now Zimmerman will have to pay 10% of the new $1,000,000 bond.

I'd be thinking of "fleeing" as well if I was Zimmerman!!!!

He is being charged for murder because a bunch of animals threatened to riot, so to save face Florida charged him, even though he didn't break the law as it was written at the time!

He's gotta have a bullseye on his head in jail...... and he is getting railroaded because he is white.  Life is going to be very tough for him in prison!!!!
Unfortunately I think Florida is going to make sure this innocent man is going to prison so they don't have another LA riot situation








This country is SOOOOOOOO fucked up when it comes to the color of a person's skin!!!! If you are any other color than white you get treated differently if someone of another race whine and bitches enough the USA will do whatever they want even if it means sending an innocent man to jail!!!!!  unfortunately I think the US is no longer the greatest country on earth,  its too worried about being PC and over regulation to be free and safe  

Be careful gents, sharpton and his bunch are after your freedoms!

Oh, yeah, that's probably why the judge set it at that amount, to chew up the $ 100k he was donated. However if he is found not guilty, or more accurately if/when the case is dismissed, as I assume it will be after this stand your ground hearing, the money should be returned.



 


I thought the 10% to the bail guy was money that you were out...  Isn't that how the bondsman make their money?

He has only done everything the Criminal Justice System in FLA has asked of him.

Correct.

If a bondsman posts the money, they are guaranteeing the full amount of the bail to the court, in this case one million dollars. The 10% that is paid to the bondsman by the defendant is nonrefundable.

If however FL is one of the states that allows the accused to post their own bond, which must be the full amount, one million, (in the absence of a surety) the money is recoverable minus certain fees.

ETA:  The judge calling him a flight risk is only one of two things.

1) The judge is a fucking idiot, or

2) The judge is a terrible judge of, well, anything.

The judge altered his bail because Zimmerman and his wife conspired to deceive the Court and embarrassed the judge. However it sounds like he still set the bail at an amount Zimmerman can make, assuming bond requires 10% cash of the bond value. He didn't change the bail because he's evil and out to get Zimmerman.  

Zimmerman claims he shot Martin only after Martin assaulted him an seriously injured him. That appears to protect him under the state stand your ground law. The one witness only saw the end of the confrontation but seems to say the same thing and Zimmerman's injuries (as far as I know) are consistent with that. Unless the prosecution has some evidence I don't know about they don't have shit on this guy. The judge is stuck with either dismissing it or sitting through a messy full blown trial that is only going to be reversed on appeal later anyway.


The transcript I read didn't show any deceit.  She was asked exactly how much was there and she said she didn't know.  She offered to call her brother but the prosecutor said that wasn't necessary.
