In reply to the discussion: Lawyer says George Zimmerman knew judge was misinformed about his finances [View all]Boabab
(120 posts)4. Translation: GZ lied to the judge
This is surreal. A lawyer can make a statement that his client "allowed his financial situation to be misstated in court." In other words, he committed perjury, which is a prosecutable offense last time I checked. I wonder if that will happen....
Yet, there's a presumption that GZ will be released on bond. Will he ever pay lasting consequences for murdering Trayvon?
Bail should be denied, and the killer should remain locked up until the trial.
