I understand your method is to shout people down when your wrong, but that doesn't make you any less wrong.

No matter how many rolled eyes and slapped head icons you post.
No, you didn't add the article in re city of Sanford costs in your first response, which is the post to which I was responding when I talked about budgets. Your sentence was incorrectly written for what you were trying to say. That's the bottom line. You didn't accurately convey what you now say you meant. Deal with it. Again, the defense of this case won't be "millions"....

FYI, I don't have a "method." I respond to posts as they are written. Period.

THIS is your post, the one to which I was responding when I referenced budgets. No links to city of Sanford were included in this post to clarify. "the whole thing" is part of the sentence talking about costs of defense witnesses. Just bad writing.

(Brentwoodgirl): No he won't. O'mara took the case pro-bono before he even knew there was a defense fund. It means the taxpayers of FL will end up paying for his defense. He'll get less money for the defense witnesses, but this whole thing will end up costing the tax payers millions. Sucks to be taxpayer in FL.

(FancyFeast5000): Cost the taxpayers millions.....No, it won't. The State of Florida has a budget just like every other state. There are limits to the amount of money allowed by the defense for these cases. Do you really think that every felony case taken on by the public defender's office or a CONTRACT public defender is allocated "millions" of dollars for the defense? Geeezzz. That's just stupid.

I know lawyers aren't cheap, but damn, it's not like they ONLY work on his case 24/7. Is he using that money for something else?

Sounds like you want a refund of your donation.

I don't know what country you're from, but in America, it's not against the law to follow someone. You don't need a reason. He lived there. He had the right to walk anywhere he wanted.

And btw, Zimm was not following Sweet Little Trayvon when Trayvon bashed his head in.

And Zimmerman is not charged with any "offense" of following someone.

Again, many people here tend to try to fragment the evidence in order to support their desire that Zimmerman be found not guilty. When this case goes to trial, you will see the evidence presented as a "whole story" and if Zimmerman's following Trayvon is relevant to the entire story, you'll hear in the courtroom why it's relevant and how it goes to support the state's theory of the case. However, I can promise you that Zimmerman will not be found guilty of "following someone."

LOL...no, but maybe i should've made a large donation because i do want the guy to go free. I want his justice to go down the way he meted it out....on the streets. And he'll surely be tested.
