I will donate to his defense. There is enough reasonable doubt that he should not get convicted at all imo.

It raised that much in a short amount of time. It has been shut down.

Good for him. He's a fella who has lost his job and can't get out of the house
because of all the hype and spin (and death threats) but he went and found a way t
o get money to help himself and not burden the tax payers with having to provide
a free attorney.

Zimmerman was locked up before the bail hearing. I'm pretty sure that people awaiting arraignment don't have internet access to check paypal accounts. Also if I'm not mistaken, O'mara only became Zimmerman's attorney shortly before the bail hearing.

It's my understanding that bail is set based on several things. Severity of the crime accused, flight risk, evidence presented by the prosecutor, and least of all on financial circumstance of the defendant. Murder two is serious. Zimmerman isn't a flight risk as he willingly returned to Florida to be arrested. The evidence in the PC statement is thin. Would knowledge of this have changed the bail set? Zim's attorney says it might have. Regardless $200k minus bail leaves $185K to pay his lawyer who charges $400+ an hour.

What I'd be most interested in seeing is the average size of donations. If Zim's family or a couple deep pocketed people who took interest provided most of the money that's one thing, but if the money accumulated by thousands of people giving small donations $20-$50 that's another. If the latter is the case, I find it encouraging that so many people saw through the Crumped up narrative that the MSM spewed 24-7 up until we actually started seeing facts presented to the courts recently.

Personally, I haven't donated to Zim, yet. I'm seriously considering doing so though. I'm expecting both a state tax refund any day now and a bonus from work at the end of June. If this is still going on when I get either. I'm probably going to throw a small bit of cash Zim's way.

I wouldn't say it shows deception, just he is crafty and knows his way around the courts.

Could be from those three previous criminal charges he got off on which gave him plenty of courtroom experience, could be from having a retired magistrate judge for a father, could be from the fact he hired a primo high-priced lawyer, could be from the circles of ALEC/stand-your-ground defenders using this case as a showdown, etc., etc., etc.

I for one don't believe Zimmerman is nearly as naive as he pretends to be.

Well you know it's hard to check his donations from jail and they did know that he had a website to get donations so I would say they are trying to make him look bad and soon the parents will want a full accounting so they can have the money. They hav sold their sons soul you might say

FREE ZIMMERMAN!!!

I don't know why your surprised....
Racism is still very strong in this country....

Before Zimmerman killed a kid...
He called 911....
He was told too STOP FOLLOWING...GO HOME....COPS WILL HANDEL

That's murder in my book. He was itching to be a hero!
