NBC News just reported that Zimmerman collected 200K on his website!

[Generic Other]

And he failed to let the judge know in court before bond was set.

1. That sounds like a bad thing

for Zimmerman.

[Generic Other]

2. He's clearly lied to the court about being indigent

explains all that extra cash for doritos and candybars from the jail store.

[catbyte]

3. And he's claiming indigence

4. I say that is a lie like so many other lies about the murderer has been

In my experience Lawyers are known to perpetrate whatever they think might help his/her case, truth be damned.

5. It was reported on DU last night

[Generic Other]

7. Then DU scooped the morning news

I didn't hear about it until AM. But it makes me just as mad! How about you?

[MiniMe]

10. I agree

I really hate the stand your ground laws.

6. $200,000 can pay for a lavish lifestyle

In Costa Rica

yup

8. All ya gotta do is shoot an unarmed teenager

whose crime is being black.

12. Zimmerman has already spent $50k on 'rent and whatever'

Really?

$50k?

Trying to live like a Romney or something?

[Snake Alchemist]

9. 2 questions will be relevant. When were the funds received and was he aware of them. nt

[LynneSin]

13. Well since it was Zimmerman's Paypal account and he spent $50k of it already

I'm guessing he's known for awhile.

[cr8tvlde]

15. Either that or someone is in deep doo doo for impersonating him

To get a Paypal account, you have to give account numbers and permission and a few other tacky details. Like creating a website, it's very "trackable". To take said funds out requires same. This is an easy one. He'll have to plead insanity (which I've been awaiting) or a complicit other person to pretend he didn't understand when he set up a website, requested funds, put them into account and spent them. $50,000 is significant.

Murder/SYG/Self defense? Not so much.

[anti-alec]

11. The judge better revoke the bail and have him remanded in gen pop in jail.

That's the punishment that fits the violation of the bail.

[HiPointDem]

14. The local news also said that his job paid $100K and he had still been collecting salary

on leave.

That surprised me first because I was surprised he made that much (doing what?) & second because his boss was still paying the salary.

I should say I heard this from another room, not watching the report directly, so don't know the details, may have misheard. But the salary detail I'd swear i heard right.
