There is almost no racial prejudice in the US, whites who founded this country based on European traditions, learned to live and work next to Blacks, Hispanics and Orientals yet nobody wants to live next to crime and the ghetto. That's not racism, that's self-preservation and common sense.
Far less offensive than what some have said about a dead teenage boy.
In fact, I'm pretty sure I remember a few posters touting Zimmerman as some kind of a hero because he "took out the trash."
At least Mrs. Zimmerman is alive and well and managed to come up with enough money to bail herself out of jail.
It certainly doesn't do much for his/her credibility, it may not make much difference, it all comes down to whether or not it was self defense and whether the jury believes him. I think the jury will put this aside, since it was after the fact.
Yes, really. There is no real racial prejudice anymore. Look at the black president, black judges, black doctors and army generals. If there was real prejudice the 13% black minority would not have a chance against the wishes of the white majority and would never achieved what it has achieved.

A jury won't put aside gz and his wife arranging to deceive the court. They made it harder to convince a jury to believe him. With their stupid, unnecessary ploy at the bond hearing, chances of a conviction are even better than before.

I think that this will have a bigger impact than many people think. If both of them are lying to a sitting judge what makes people think that they would not continue to lie on the stand?

It sure must be nice to be a white male and isolated from reality
Asking you for a link is a waste of time, so I'll put it this way. If anyone has a name of a real person or a court document that indicates Serino wanted to arrest gz on the night of the killing, please post a link because I've never seen one. Not a newspaper article with anonymous or 'close to the investigation' sources. I mean something reliable.
I hope you're not too butthurt when hes aquitted of 2nd degree murder.

The lead homicide investigator in the shooting of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin recommended that neighborhood watch captain George Zimmermanbe charged with manslaughter the night of the shooting, multiple sources told ABC News.
But Sanford, Fla., Investigator Chris Serino was instructed to not press charges against Zimmerman because the state attorney's office headed by Norman Wolfinger determined there wasn't enough evidence to lead to a conviction, the sources told ABC News.
