OK, we saw this coming...if he was smart, he would have taken a plea, and got worked down to some low low charge that means he would be out in time for the GOP convention in Tampa.

OH, I love this quote:

"The Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure allow Zimmerman to enter a not-guilty plea on paper. Kenneth B. Nunn, a law professor at the University of Florida, said the paper plea was probably a minor tactical maneuver on O'Mara's part to reduce the hassles involved with having Zimmerman appear in public.

"Why have him come out of hiding and have another chance for his location to be discovered -- and then have him go in front of the court for something that's meaningless anyway?" Nunn said.

In short, he is being sneaky, and the courts are allowing him to be sneaky.
