Team Skittles probably thinks George was watching his PayPayl account racking up deposits on his jail issued iPad.

Lynching’s easier when you make the accused bring the rope.

“Bail is not supposed to be punitive; its only to insure appearance in court.
Even a rich person shouldnt be made to pay high bail just because he can afford it; thats not the function of bail.”
That’s what I thought. Bail should be commensurate with the alleged crime and the accused flight risk. I believe I read somewhere that the judge once the case said that the amount of bail set for Zimmerman was comparable to other 2nd degree murder cases.

Obviously not the same person who wrote the background on George.

Don’t worry. Alan is on the case. He is ‘the best’ appeals lawyer you can get.

I didn’t know that bail was set based on income. I thought it was based on risk to the community. Also flight risk. Someone whose major asset is 200K Cash...

Bail is used to insure s defendant appears in court.
Unless Zimmerman took some action that indicates he is not going to appear, there is NO LEGAL reason to request a bail increase
