Why should it be mentioned in the police report? If there was any question to it at a later date, it's recorded in a statewide database.

Isn’t it illegal to carry a loaded gun without a permit? Wouldn’t police need to know if he had a permit so as not to charge him for that crime? Wouldn’t police be remiss if they didn’t account for the gun George used to kill an unarmed teen with, so they’d need to verify that it did belong to George & he was carrying legally? And if they verified he was carrying legally, wouldn’t they note that they took the time to do so on the police report? Or did they already know he had a permit to carry because they knew him from all of his previous calls-(false alarms jmo)?

He's in a much better place now than where TM is. He is alive, TM is not.

They may change or get rid of SYG, but it won't change it for this case. And that's my point.
If during the process of this case a court says SYG is unconstitutional according to either the state constitution or the US Constitution, then it will change for this case.

IANAL, though. JMO, IMO, etc.

I'm pretty sure that it is his website. I would think that Mr. O'Mara would have released a statement indicating that it was not George's website if it was not.

GZ would look like a nicer guy imo if the website wasn't his but Zimmerman's former lawyers confirmed that the website is his. Imo it requires a little too much mental twisting to make it a scam.

I have never understood this question. Who knows? I'm not even sure where his truck was. It's been shown in several positions, one rather close to the shooting IMO. Perhaps, he went the wrong way by mistake and was trying to get his bearings. Or he decided to take the long way back, after all he likes to watch his neighborhood. IMO, it's TM who was not where he should have been time and distance-wise if he was trying to avoid GZ and heading home quickly, which is why I'm inclined to believe that GZ came upon him accidentally, after he'd already given up any chase.

Think of how wrestlers are built.
I refuse to discuss diapers or depends since GZ did not make that claim.

But, I will go with you on the sake of discussion:

Have you ever watched boxing?
From what I have heard, this was a punch throwing fight. Not really a wrestling match.

One of the biggest advantages is arm reach. Plain and simple.

And 40 pounds less weight and longer legs would make a fellow like Trayvon much quicker in this imaginary or real match.

Even they think he's a loose cannon -- the things they said about George's erratic behavior should make any Judge pause before releasing him!

GZ's lawyer has better and more important things to worry about than to ambulance chase some internet nobody trying to scam people into giving money based on pretending to be GZ.

My only point is just because it has GZ's name attached to it doesn't automatically make it GZ's. And because the only verification is two people who IMO were never directly involved with this case anyway, doesn't prove anything either.

It's his... which makes me feel like a stupid person for ever having any kind of compassion for him, as I thought that he may really be remorseful for what he did. But nope!

Has the court declared GZ indigent? All I can find is Mark O'Mara saying that he is.

Speaking with media after Thursday’s hearing, O’Mara said is not taking any legal fees for representing Zimmerman, whom O’Mara described as “indigent.’’

When I heard the comment from O'Mara again today, I couldn't help thinking, WTF!?! We're not talking about college financial aid being based on the parent's ability to contribute to their child's education, for G-d's sake! We're talking about allowing a man who shot and killed someone to be given freedom while he awaits trial. Zimmerman doesn't deserve to be out of jail doing whatever he pleases. His bond should fit the crime and not be determined by what his family can or cannot afford.

It would just be nice to have some other verification other than the two guys who called themselves 'his lawyers' when in reality they were never of the sort.

Is there something objectionable in the content of that website that makes it necessary to explain it away as someone else's handiwork?

The things that were posted and the picture that was used on that website... you better believe Mr. O'Mara would be screaming from the rooftops that it was not George's website. That website is disgusting!

There are many advantages in many sports.

How they are divided means little to appreciate what all advantages are.

When you see the boxers fact sheets before a fight, arm reach is on there because IT MATTERS. It matters a lot.

Jumping off this, but does Florida allow one to post bond in a form other than cash? I know for the Michele Young case the defendant's mother was allowed to put up land to pay for the bond but I think it varies from state to state.

I personally think O'Mara needs to stop his interviews. Pretty soon, he is going to rival another defense attorney that we are all very familiar with. Why object to all documents being released and ask for the records to be sealed if you are going to go on every available TV show and try your case in the media before making it to the courtroom?

MOM will probably file a motion to have the court declare GZ indigent. Could have been done already but since the records are sealed, we do not know. I assume MOM does want to get paid somehow.

Why wouldn't GZ have shut them up if two nobodies pose as his lawyers when they were never of the sort? Why wouldn't O'Mara clarify that these two former lawyers were just scamming everybody claiming to be George Zimmerman's lawyers? Why wouldn't Zimmerman's family say something given that two weirdos pretended to have been in contact with them?

Lawyers make questionable statements - Not GZ's fault, not his lawyers.
Website makes questionable statements - Not GZ's fault, not his website.

Why?
