When GZ is caught, and he will be, he will go straight to jail. I'm sure there were warnings

[monmouth]

from all directions to him and he didn't heed them. If he's in another country, he will be arrested and be sent to directly to jail. SYG won't help him with this latest development. GZ doesn't strike me as very smart, hiding is difficult and takes some smart cunning to successfully pull off. I'm hoping anyway.

1. He's not the brightest light in the harbor. I think he's being helped.

[lacrew]

2. I'm really confused - did I miss something

What development has put him in a position to 'be caught'. Has a warrant been issued?

Edit: Now I'm even more confused. I saw on another thread that the OP wonders whether this is an FBI case, or Interpol....so I went to the news websites, for news that charges were filed...but find nothing. Why would the police be looking for him right now?

3. Angela Corey is still waiting for ALL the test results and for every deposition...

before she even THINKS of issuing an arrest warrant for a killer on the loose.

It's the prudent thing to do.

4. Not yet, but that's is what most people are assuming.

It looks like even Zimmerman himself since he has broken off contact with his lawyers.

6. His lawyers

My speculation:

1) These two lawyers talked to Zimmerman on the phone a few times, and came out to the media, to say they were representing him (heh, its the big time). But Zimmerman never thought he had retained them or hired them...and said get lost.

2) Zimmerman's website was usch an ill-advised and dumb stunt, the lawyers found an excuse to quit.

I really don't think his break-up with his lawyers automatically equals 'man on the run'. If he were inclined to run, he would have already done it, since today was supposed to be the GJ.

7. well that's not exactly how it went down with the lawyers...

....and AFIK, the second of the lawyers is Very Big Time and sure wouldn't be representing George for the attention of it all.

[lacrew]

8. OK - then perhaps option 2

The lawyers could not run away fast enough, when Zimmerman started a web page for himself.

5. No, he has not been charged with anything. Free as a bird.

[monmouth]

9. Sorry, that was my post and I jumped the gun. I would have thought they would have told him to

stay in the area, certainly not to leave the country if that is in fact what he did. They'll find him, it's just a wait and see what happens next.

11. Police have no such authority

Only a judge can restrict movement, confiscate a passport, etc.

10. Another attempt to start an internet rumor in this case.

He is not "on the run", there has been no attempt to "capture" him because there is no warrant for his arrest. I'm very sure law enforcement knows where he is at.

[Honeycombe8]

12. He doesn't have to be "caught." People know where he is....

there is no warrant for his arrest. There is nothing to indicate the authorities don't know where he is. His lawyers stated outright he is not out of the country.

An arrest warrant will probably be issued, and my guess is he'll turn himself in.

He's hiding from the public because of the death threats.
