Someone with excellent hacking skill could make GPS stay in same location as someone flee.

Meh, I don't know that his credibility is hurt by this. Not in my IMO anyway. But that really doesn't matter....his credibility can only be addressed if he takes the stand. And as you have posted in other threads....you don't believe he will take the stand. Corey charged Murder 2....she has a lot of hurdle to meet her burden. Guess we will see what happens.

Still trying to shift focus on non issues are we? Bail is denied if someone poses a flight risk, so, did Zimmerman leave the country when he could?

uuuummm actually it's an issue and it's certainly not about racism. he was facing a possible revocation due to his credibility issue.

and now it's been revoked because Judge Lester was clearly not happy to see that Zimmerman and his wife may have misled the court about their financial status.

The issue was money: At a bond hearing April 20, Zimmerman's wife, Shellie, had testified under oath that the couple didn't have any savings. In reality, they had more than $135,000, with more flooding in from supporters who were making contributions via a website Zimmerman set up after he shot and killed Trayvon Martin in Sanford Feb. 26.

After the hearing Friday afternoon, O'Mara said he would try to schedule a bond hearing next week and intends to call Zimmerman — and perhaps his wife — to the stand to explain their actions.

Michael Grieco, a South Florida defense attorney and former Miami-Dade prosecutor, said Zimmerman's wife may have exposed herself to contempt-of-court or perjury charges.


De la Rionda would not say Friday whether he planned to pursue perjury charges. It will be up to the judge to decide whether contempt charges are warranted.

not really. it has tamper-proof technology. once you open it or tamper with it, it will set off an alarm.

If this is based I his defense fund rather than the passport I hope he is released soon. I don't consider that a lie as I have said before. I would have answered the same way. In fact I would hammer the prosecution for wasting my time. But you never know with Judges.
 
If he lied about having no money then he probably lied about his so called "self-defense".

So .... why didn't he skip town when he could?

Why did he turn himself in when he didn't have to?

Prosecutor is full of bull puckey.

Maybe he listened to his lawyer? Perhaps his finances did not look very good for an extended vacation of 20+ years. Common sense came over him?

I have to believe his lawyer told him to turn in passports, etc. The lawyer is not nervous; he should be meticulous in preparing his client. If not, his client will be wearing orange. Lots of it.

Nobody else wanted him. If he wasn't considered a risk to leave, why would the taxpayers of Florida be stuck feeding him? It is pretty obvious what you think he should be free for; so he can get on with his book and movie deals. If they think he is a risk, who are you to tell us differently? You live in another state. Maybe he was cashing in all his chips, saving up for a secluded life in Honduras.

He returned to central Florida for jail time but I don't know where is his location because it is undisclosed.

During the bond hearing, O'Mara asked the judge about that because of GZ's safety. The judge said it would be discussed privately in his chamber with both the prosecutor and him after the hearing. It's possible that he allowed it afterward.

So, he didn't pose a flight risk then. Turned himself in for the second time. The prosecutor just publicly made a moot point. That makes me glad.

The judge even announced his passport was a non-issue. It would be like losing a driver's license and ordering a new one. Why is the media making it one? :hmm:


So the issue then is the money, right?

I remember the bond hearing. They asked his wife about that money. She said she didn't know what the exact amount was, but her brother did, and asked if the prosecutor would like to call him. The prosecutor declined to call the brother.

Also assuming it was a standard account, they would have not let him have it till they made sure it was legal money and then only $500 a month till he setup a commercial account.

that translates into - the prosecutor had nothing but smoke and mirrors, and the media is making issues out of non issues .... again.

The judge felt differently. I have no opinion on his decision, other than he most likely had more facts to work with than I do.

I think they call it reporting.
They told us that he had two passports, and he had his bail revoked. I gotta say, if the tables were turned, and this 17 year old black male was the shooter, you would have been screaming foul if he was even granted bail in the first place.

highly speculative and a waste of time. why don't we leave it to Judge to decide whether or not if it warrants revoking his bond. Apparently he had enough reason to revoke it.
