Speculation? Hardly.
According to Mark O'Mara, Zimmerman's lawyer, $5,000 of the donor money was used to post Zimmerman's bond. It's doubtful that he didn't know/think he had the money when he used part of it for his bond.
So Corey and the Trayvonistas want to be able to put their lies out there without anyone challenging them and they want to be free to raise money while denying the same to the other side. They're pathetic.
