George Zimmerman Released From Florida Jail on $150,000 Bond

I'm glad he's out.

That's at least $15,000 penalty money he or his family is out that they'll never see again.

Not so, if he does not break bail and flee they will get the money back when the trial starts........
 
I have no position on this case and I'm amazed at all the opinions people have considering that it's a complex case. I don't personally approve of amateur police-work and this is a classic example of why I don't but the guilt/innocence/intention thingy should be laid out at trial instead of the media.

I do think the bail was excessive and deliberately punitive and it pisses me off that they do this. There is no flight risk and no matter what, he should be released O.R. until the case is settled. The police use bail as a method of fining you, regardless of future determination. It's just plain wrong. He's shown good faith as far as court appearances go and that is supposed to be the purpose of bail.

I repeat - I HAVE NO POSITION ON GUILT OR INNOCENCE IN THIS CASE. It's a real American tragedy no matter what the final outcome is. It's one of many reasons I don't own a gun - guns make you a little too brave for your own good.
 
Unfortunately, bail bondsmen charge 10%. That is a fact I wish I didn't know. Sigh.

Even if the case is thrown out, the 15k (10% 0f 150k) is gone. Adios forever

Initially, the state was shooting for a cool million. Imagine that....100k down the ****ter
 
I am really glad to see this....I was worrying about the left lynching this guy.

George Zimmerman Released From Florida Jail on $150,000 Bond - Yahoo!


George Zimmerman has been released from a Florida jail after posting $150,000 bond as he awaits trial for the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin

I was glad to see him get a bail set by the judge as that he is still considered innocent. I hope that the judge will kick the cameras out of the court room and that any trial is not long and drawn out, whether they find him guilty or not.

I seriously doubt he was able to post the full amount, the Bail Bondsman fee is 10% he won't get that back.

Any rational person with an interest in justice should be concerned about a "high-tech lynching" (to steal a term from Clarence Thomas) occurring here.

As much as I am convinced that Zimmerman does not qualify for SYG immunity and deserved to be charged, I do want him to have a fair trial. It has been an absolute disgrace the way that the left-leaning media has reported with such intentional and insidious bias about this case. Regardless of his culpability, I hope Zimmerman sues the pants off of these unethical and irresponsible news media outlets.
 
It is more than the left that want to "lynch" this guy.... You got the anti-gun crowd, the race exploiters, the New Black Panther Party, Spike Lee, the left, the progressives, subjective opinion & the media ! I bet their are more but you get the idea their most likely will be injustice done before this is over !

There is another NW trial in Maryland... in an orthodox Jewish neighborhood..

I realize the media is trying to say the two cases are similar, but they aren't. The only thing similar is the jewish men are claiming SYG defense. However, from what I have read, the two jewish men should clearly be found guilty in that case.
 
He probably won't leave the country but he should and stay away until the media lynch mob can put up another phoney front about how deeply concrened they are for justice for blacks (who slaughter each other every two minutes in America). Any body heard of the case in Houston, Texas where a black woman murderd a white woman at point blank range last week and stole here three day old baby?? Funny, that did not make the news. I wonder why.......................

Actually that insane crime is all over the news.. The mother was shot a half dozen times.

It is not all over the news. YOu may be able to dig it up on some news sites. but go take a look. Zimmerman being released last night was all over every major news outlet. The judge stepping down was all over every major news outlet. Front page stuff. This woman barely gets a mention

Wonder no more.

Did the DA in Houston case refused to charge the black woman and the police chief let her walked scotch free citing lack of probable cause, or was she jailed and charged immediately for 1st degree death penalty case while investigation has just barely begun?

So, why would this be expected to make the big news when justice is working just the way it should be if not overly too efficient?

I wonder how many more times must I keep repeating this basic understanding.

Yeah, the anger over the Zimmerman case isn't because a black kid got killed, it's because a black kid got killed and the cops didn't do anything about it.

Nope, the only thing he loses is the fee for bail.......Afer that is paid and he abides by the laws of bail he gets the rest back......

That is so much horse**** my Liberal friend........Texas has a different law then Florida when it comes to a shooting with a small arm.

Not near as much as the Florida shooting and Jackson and Sharpton are not there stirring up the crowd....huge difference.

Umm, Maybe you didn't realize it, but those you listed are the left.

The question is can Zimmerman get a fair trial in Fla. Sadly if they come up with a not guilty verdict and I believe that is what might happen law enforcement fears a race riot.......
 
I'm glad he's out.

That's at least $15,000 penalty money he or his family is out that they'll never see again.

His parents may have put up their house, in which case it doesn't cost them anything as long as Z makes his appearances.
