How did he get to that area if he was going back to his car?

Plus, they're got money troubles:

"Mark O'Mara, who is defending Zimmerman against a second-degree murder charge in the fatal February shooting, said a lack of money in Zimmerman's legal defense fund is complicating the defense's desire to move the case ahead quickly.
The money's not coming in all that strongly right now," O'Mara told reporters. "I think that as we move forward we're probably going to have to consider indigency for Mr. Zimmerman unless something else happens with more donations and whatnot and then it puts it on the state's shoulders to actually fund that defense."

Whooops. Looks like the rednecks have to open up their wallets again. I wonder though if the NRA will back off now that it appears he won't be using SYG rules in his defense?

Call the dispatcher and ask them what they meant, neither of us know.

Notice the amazing silence from all the previous Zimmerman/SYG supporters. Where are they now?

Zimmerman will not be convicted of second degree murder, plain and simple. His attorney feels they have a strong case for self defense......

IF they do make a plea deal, it will be for a much lesser charge to appease the masses.

They must be busy donating because their silence here is deafening. I'm guessing that NRA will certainly back off at this point. IMO their interest always was about SYG laws only. Guess George is no longer their poster boy.
