George Zimmerman's Reenactment of Trayvon Martin Shooting

[carmen fovozzo]

$20,000.00 more collected in donations one hour after one million bail set....

He is out of jail now....

But, he IS a flight risk. Just ask the judge.

"Under any definition, the defendant has flaunted the system," Lester wrote in his ruling Thursday, noting that Zimmerman also failed to disclose a second passport.

"Although there is no record of flight to avoid prosecution, this court finds that circumstances indicate that the defendant was preparing to flee to avoid prosecution, but such plans were thwarted," Lester added in his ruling.

Within hours of the bond ruling, Zimmerman's defense team countered with its own strongly-worded statement, declaring that Zimmerman was not a flight risk, and renewing calls for donations.

"For those that think Mr. Zimmerman has been treated unfairly by the media, for those who feel Mr. Zimmerman has been falsely accused as a racist, for those who feel this case is an affront to their constitutional rights," the statement read, "now is the time to show your support."

Lester sounds like he is related to Angela Corey

Let me guess, because he had an extra passport that he forgot he had because he lost his at one point in life and ordered a new one? Yup, that's trying to avoid prosecution.

All of his turning himself in promptly when called for is more proof to show he's really just trying to run.

Sneaky plan, really.

Unless he backpacked across the border into canada, I don't think he could escape the media anyhow. Where would he go to flee? Don't you think he wants this over, like tomorrow? Don't you think he wants to testify and tell his story in court?

[carmen fovozzo]

He is now in his safe house with his security team watching over him..

George isn't going anywhere right now....

Prosecution has released new evidence. FBI interviews show no evidence that Zimmerman was a racist.

http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/07/12/new ... d=tsmodule" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

New evidence indicates Zimmerman’s back was wet and covered with grass when police picked him up — which would corroborate his version of the events of that evening, in which Martin attacked him and pushed him to the ground. Most witnesses up until now were not able to confirm who was on top during the fight. However, a new witness now maintains that the man on top during the fight was the same one lying motionless on the ground after the gunshot — in other words, Martin. This evidence lends credence to Zimmerman’s story of self-defense.

Zimmerman may have been influenced by Martin’s hoodie, not his skin color.

After interviewing dozens of friends, family, and co-workers, the FBI found no one who said Zimmerman was racist, damaging the allegations that the shooting of Trayvon Martin may have been racially motivated — charges the FBI had organized a probe to specifically investigate. A gang specialist with the Sanford Police Department told the FBI that Zimmerman’s actions may actually have been prompted by Martin’s attire. A local gang called the Goons is known to wear hoodies in cold weather. Meanwhile Sanford police detective Christopher Serino, the department’s lead investigator into the Martin killing, told FBI agents that he believed Zimmerman was a ‘soft guy’ with a ‘little hero complex’, but that he was no racist.

I don't get it, most of the evidence released by the prosecution appears to corroborate Zimmerman's side of the story. They do include testimony from an ex-fiance that Zimmerman was prone to road range and was over protective and territorial but I'm not sure what the word of an ex will be all that convincing. There are e-mails that support that Zimmerman had done "ride alongs" with the Sanford police although, I'm not sure how relevant that will be other than to possibly discredit the police investigation?

It also said Prosecution would at a later date release some video from one of the camera's...Why not now ?

An officer did state that the act of following Martin was instigation enough.

Huh. Now that's a conclusive sign of gang affiliation. What does that make Zimmerman now if we've finally concluded he isn't racist? Hoodie-ist? Clothes-ist? Thermal protection-ist?

Just wanted to stop by and congratulate everyone on participating in the longest running Martin-Zimmerman thread in OFCC history. Three long weeks, how time flies. Here's to another three more weeks!

I'm glad they have finally realized that he is not Caucasian, but I can't believe they would state it with such a racist comment! Where is his voice in the media to stand up to such blatant racism?

[carmen fovozzo]

After TRYING to read all that was released, I now know why Lawyer's make the big bucks..Some of them any way....
