Next up: Florida v. Shellie Zimmerman
Legal Insurrection ^ | July 15, 2013 | Professor William A. Jacobson

Posted on 07/15/2013 9:19:54 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Forgotten in the publicity surrounding the jury verdict in the case against George Zimmerman is that a perjury charge against his wife, Shellie Zimmerman, remains active.

According to the State Court docket, the case is scheduled for trial August 21. I have calls in to the prosecutors and defense counsel to confirm this.

The Judge on the case is Marlene M. Alva.

The Criminal Information and supporting Affidavit are embedded at the bottom of the post.

The charge surrounds Shellie’s sworn statements regarding funds available for George’s defense. When it was revealed that George had more money than was disclosed, his bail was revoked and he eventually was released on much higher bond.

I extensively analyzed the allegations in a post on June 13, 2012, Perjury charge against Shellie Zimmerman raises more questions of prosecutorial overreaching.

The main problem with the State’s case, as I see it, is that many of the statements alleged in the Affidavit were matters which were ambiguous or subject of opinion. In order to commit perjury, one has to make a false statement of fact (which is why the feds prefer to go with “obstruction of justice” instead of perjury).

Here’s one example from the prior post:

Q. Other major assets that you have which you can liquidate reasonably to assist in coming up with money for a bond? A. None that I know of.

What are “major assets”? Isn’t that a matter of opinion? Similarly, what does “reasonably” mean? Isn’t that also a matter of judgment, not a fact? The same lack of clarity accrues to “liquidate.” If the alleged funds already were liquid, the funds could not be liquidated again.....

What about that witness for the prosecution who perjured herself on the stand? What. That doesn’t count?

Jentel, the States witness was caught lying through her teeth.
Why isn’t she charged with perjury?

Is Shellie another “white Hispanic?”

Destroy the Zimmerman family at all costs. This charge against his wife was absurd and must be illegal. But the a**wipes make the laws don’t they.

She’s just a child, like wittle Twavon.

It would be racist to charge her.

This is next up — and watch as Corey and her stooges here try to extract from Shellie the pound of flesh they couldn’t from George.

Corey is going to get her a** kicked again and take Bondi down with her.

To include donated assets implies you have 100% control of them. There’s no way to answer this without advice of counsel.

My mind is playing association tricks on me.

When I see the name “Angela Corey” or her picture, I get an immediate mental image of an aluminum baseball bat for some unknown reason.

We should return the favor if we ever get the power.

Charge Rachel Jeantel???

That would be retarded. Rachel Jeantel is on Obama's side. Today's courts are for getting even, not for enforcing the law.

Miss Slim Jeans clearly (well,as clearly as she was capable of being) admitted,under oath,that she perjured herself in this case.
