You're so sure I am wrong, then turn around and ask this forum what happened?

George calls the cops after seeing a person acting suspiciously, thinking about his neighbors concern over a recent span of burglary's. He's trying to keep track of this person, so the police can talk to him. He is told he doesn't need to follow him, he returns to his car and is confronted by Trayvon who proceeds to beat on him, suffocate him, then grab for his gun. George, while screaming for help, gets the gun and shoots. The police come, George explains what happened, gets medical treatment at some point, and then is taken to the police station. They get his statements on record, and let him go. Then all hell breaks loose, because Trayvon was young and black. Racists want to turn him into the innocent victim, when he was the aggressor.
Yes, this is George Zimmerman's story, which evidence corroborates. There is no evidence to the contrary! None!

What the racists refuse to acknowledge is that George Zimmerman was also a minority, a mix of races including black. Two young black girls spent a lot of time with his family, they were treated like family. George had opened his own business with a black partner. He is a democrat and probably an Obama supporter. You are tarring one of your own.

His family can't even testify in person, because of the threats. Shame on you people for stirring up this lynchmob mentality.
He deserves all of this crap and shame on those who would like to see him on Mt. Rushmore.

Why is GZ's attorney telling Anderson Cooper? His first obligation is to his client and then the judge, why is he running his mouth!

My first impression of his attorney was his seemingly lack of confidence in his client, I let up once I watched the hearing, but now it would seem that he is talking too much to the media...this revelation should have been saved for tomorrow's hearing in front of the judge, not in front of the camera...

GZ has a lot of explaining to do if his paypal account shows that the money was in there before he went to jail...

CNN O'Mara on Anderson Cooper
No different that his former "team" of lawyers. They want their 15 minutes of fame.

He's not running away and is ammasing a war chest for the cost of the trial. Good for him, what is the problem?
Not only that, but if his atty didn't know about the website, how dumb is he? Everybody else knew.

Or is this splitting hairs? Seems I recall the previous website was set up by his brother. Or something.

I don't see this as a lie but a misunderstanding also he needs a legal defense fund not a paypal account.

I'd donate to his defense, what's happening to him is a travesty.

He needs to answer tomorrow in front of the judge to why he lied and allow his family to lie for him. Instead his lawyer will face the music unless they recall Zimmerman back and lock him up. His credibility will be questioned all the way at this point.
No he didn't lie...he wasn't aware of it at the time of the bail hearing...the judge will not have any issue...

Btw what about the Trevon family trying to benefit from their sons dead...that is really sick to me! But I guess Al Sharpton is not working for free, although we all know that Al Sharpton doesn't pay taxes ...just another free loader acting like the good guy!

The judge will be told tomorrow about this and I don't think the judge will be happy about the dishonest fact that his defense and family told the judge he had no money.

Can Zimmerman be trusted after this lie? He allowed his own family to testify saying he has no money. His whole story should be questioned.

Attorney: Zimmerman had $200K from web donations

the trial should be over in 1 day. innocent on all counts.
