Bond's A Million!

Bond set a $1 million for controversial defendant George Zimmerman.

George Zimmerman, once again appeals for a bond! This time the judge in this controversial Trayvon Martin murder case better listen to what the prosecutors are saying! The judge was under fire for giving the shooter a minimum bond. This has been corrected.

Zimmerman must come up with $1 million dollars in order to get out of jail.

My opinion is simple. I rather the judge order Zimmerman held in jail until trial. With him being released from jail, that gives him an opportunity to mount up another attempt to flee the state without notice.

Zimmerman and his wife Shellie were held in contempt of court after it was revealed that they failed to disclose the amount of fundraising for his defense. On top of that, in jail house audios, the couple had made clear that with this amount of fundraising, they were planning on using it for other uses.

The shooting of Trayvon Martin became a discussion of racial profiling and the media's perception of the victim. Conservatives and White supremacists called Martin, a "wannabe gangsta" and juvenile delinquent. They ignore the facts that the individual was unarmed and he was minding his own business.

t's a damn shame though, if Trayvon Martin was the shooter of George Zimmerman, that young teenager would be tried as an adult. Martin would be likely held in jail without bond. Martin would be the poster child for Black on White violence if conservative outlets or White Supremacists agitate the controversy online. Martin would have either face life or death for a firearm crime.

George Zimmerman is likely going to get less than ten years in prison if he decides to take a plea for a lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter. But this high charge of second degree murder is also questionable. This questionable decision for charging this man with this degree of murder is likely going to be a legal challenge. Zimmerman didn't know the individual and even though he shot the teenager, I am assuming he had no intent on killing the teenager. It would have been smart for Zimmerman to take a plea deal. It's unlikely. He is going to use the notion of self-defense in this matter. Even though a 911 operator told him to not pursue Trayvon Martin. The friends, relatives and co-workers will share their experiences of dealing with Zimmerman. Some claim that he said inappropriate things about minorities, Muslims and once attacked a law enforcement officer.

This will be evidence used against him.

This case has already been tainted by the media's perception of the shooter and the victim. The conservatives paint Martin as a "wannabe gangsta", "weed-smoking", juvenile delinquent. The Black community and progressives believe that Zimmerman racially profiled Martin. They believe that Zimmerman failed to acknowledge his role as neighborhood watch volunteer. The progressives believe that firearm usage is on the rise and Republican state legislators are doing broad overreach laws like "stand your ground".

Zimmerman may have enough to bail out this time around. The first time he was assured bond, it was a $150,000 with a 10% bond. The appropriate amount at 10% was $15,000. That was a controversial move that was corrected today at this hearing. Zimmerman must have the full amount to get out!
