Saw that on the news. He may be found innocent but he sure is making himself look guilty.

Zimmerman and wife probably never had more than $10,000 in the bank and suddenly had access to some cash because people are tying to help him, and didn't even sit down with an attorney to go over the tax implications. It happened almost overnight. Obviously the weren't going anywhere.

There are no income tax repercussions to a defense fund. It's a sequestered fund designed to be dipped into only by the attorney engaged in the legal defense. We've done this before and know the rules. You're not allowed to touch that money at all. And anything left over MUST be returned to the donators at the end. You don't get a penny from it.

Ahem. It was better than a month between the shooting and arrest. He hired a lawyer the following day. Over all that time you'd think he'd mention a legal defense fund he had set up online? Or even mention it to his father, a judge (maybe retired, I'm not sure)? He had plenty of time. Get over it.

So that means you lie when they ask you if you have any money while you're under oath.

There are criminal liabilities if one transfers funds OUT into, lets say, a personal checking account.

They did not set up the fund right away.

Are you as big as Christie?

Which may explain why they "lied". They didn't think it was money they had access to for personal use. The Zimmerman's probably thought they were supposed to show personal assets.

I'm sure it will all get sorted out.

But here's the problem ... a trustee for a legal defense fund CANNOT be involved in the case at all. Whoops. :)

Not to mention that the trustee of said fund was family and therefore "involved" in the case ...

Considering that she had transferred from that fund into their personal joint checking account tells me they didn't have a clue as to what they were doing, nor did they have the sense to ask anyone, like Zimmerman's father, a judge, about the website, its language and how to handle the funds.

A legal defense fund is an asset the court needs to know about in a case like this, where it could figure into the setting of bail.

Are YOU?????

That's the question everyone wants to know. I think you're gunning for that size.

In fact, I'm losing weight again as I'm out and on my feet working.

He probably figured he was supposed to show assets. Like bank accounts and real estate. No one figures he was planning to skip town.

I have no clue why they "lied" about the defense fund, but it has nothing to do with what happened the night of the shooting.

You can't say that for certain. Nobody can.

Having that much money AND a hidden passport (forgot that didn't you) provides all the ingredients of a flight risk. There's sufficient evidence. There's motivation. The only question remains, would he have the stones to do it?
