Additionally, for a case & amount of this magnitude, the bondsman would demand collateral in the full amount.
If you so desire and can afford it, the only way around this is to post the entire amount in cash yourself.

If Zimmerman needs to come up with full collateral for the bondsman, he can do the same for the court, in which case he only needs the 10%, which he has. ergo no bondsman needed, he gets the 100K back when he shows, and can then pay his lawyer.
