...apparently murder still pays well.
George Zimmerman had $200,000 support fund, attorney acknowledges
By Richard Fausset
LA Times
April 27, 2012, 9:16 a.m.
Last week, George Zimmerman's family told a Florida judge that it had
very little money with which to help the alleged murderer make bond.
But as it turns out, Zimmerman had in fact raised more than $200,000
from supporters on a website and PayPal account he established. That new
development, divulged by Zimmerman's attorney at a hearing Friday, could
prompt Seminole County Circuit Judge Kenneth R. Lester Jr. to increase
the $150,000 bond he set earlier -- though the judge said that he wanted
to know more about who controls the money before ruling on the matter.
At a court hearing Friday morning, Zimmerman's lawyer told the judge
that he found out about the funds after last week's bond hearing.
Zimmerman was released from jail less than 72 hours later.
The divulging of the support fund was the latest in a string of actions
by Zimmerman that have raised the ire of Martin's family. Benjamin
Crump, the lawyer for Martin's parents, told the Associated Press before
the hearing that they hoped bail would be revoked.
"This is a bombshell that was dropped," Crump told the news service,
adding that the parents were "offended" that the court was not made
aware of the fund earlier.
Zimmerman took the stand at last week's bond hearing and apologized to
Martin's family. He did not, however, mention the fund.
O'Mara said that Zimmerman had already used roughly $50,000 of the money
"for living expenses -- rent or whatever," and that the remaining
$150,000 was now in a separate trust account under O'Mara's control.

Zimmerman is living "higher off the hog" than he's ever lived before.

has held a number of high-level legal positions and is now the attorney
general. *You* barely graduated high school and that was the end of your
formal education and you have a low-level "managerial" job at a tech
company. You are far more likely to be clueless.

Liberal-socialism is a great idea so long as the credit is good and
other people pay for it. When the credit runs out and those that pay
for it leave, they can all share having nothing but debt and discontentment.

Holder is clueless. It's a genetic entitlement, doesn't take no book
learnin' or certificate earnin' to be an expert if you're from a
superior gene pool, like Bertie.
