| attaboy said: I didn't really follow this case. Can somebody tell me why Zimmerman's bond was changed to one million dollars or something at some point? I hear he lied to the judge or used secret codes or whatever. I don't know. Probably some miss information on my part. An upstanding guy like Zimmerman wouldn't lie about something trivial like how much money people donated to his defense, would he? |
That judge was dismissed because he showed contempt for Zimmerman and threatened him. Judges are suppose to be impartial. But to answer your question it had to do with the donations for his defense. He got a shit load of donations. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations. He turned that money over to the defense team and was being used for his defense and typical living costs. The judge was pissed because he thought Zimmerman lied to him because bail is suppose to be used with your own money or something like that. The judge thought the money he used to post bond was from the donations but it was from a mortgage on a house the Zimmermans owned.

Basically the judge was a twat.
explains it pretty well. But I can tell you were trying to be sarcastic and failed extremely hard.
