That's my point... Mr_Teg Aug 2013 #43

"Zimmerman is irrelevant" Paladin Aug 2013 #29

Would you explain why he is relevant Boom Sound 416 Aug 2013 #36

Wait, it seemed like O'Mara was happily doing this pro bono in bullwinkle428 Aug 2013 #11

The law only covers expenses, not legal fees. branford Aug 2013 #15

Did he claim was working for free Boom Sound 416 Aug 2013 #16

I guess I missed the part where Zimmerman claimed he would pay O'Mara bullwinkle428 Aug 2013 #61

It's the law. Jenoch Aug 2013 #60

Yeah, well, some laws are bad. MoonRiver Aug 2013 #73

If you were accused of Jenoch Aug 2013 #77

Funny Boom Sound 416 Aug 2013 #80

Let me answer that question with two responses. MoonRiver Aug 2013 #86

You seem to be assuming everyone who goes to trial is guilty as charged and Jenoch Aug 2013 #88

It is NOT the taxpayers' responsibility to refund everybody accused and acquitted! MoonRiver Aug 2013 #90

You can't sue a prosecutor for doing their job absent malice X_Digger Aug 2013 #91

So the wrongfully accused (or acquitted) lose more time and money? Throd Aug 2013 #92

Yes. Sometimes life sucks. MoonRiver Aug 2013 #93

What if it were you? Throd Aug 2013 #103

I would deal with it. Nobody wants to pay out large sums of money, but it happens sometimes. MoonRiver Aug 2013 #104

Apparently it is in Florida. Jenoch Aug 2013 #102

How does that answer the question Boom Sound 416 Aug 2013 #89
