Obese. But, I don't think Shellie Zimmerman is that tall.
I keep wondering how much the donation money is affecting the defense strategy in terms of dragging out the case, if at all.
These are just factors and questions that make me curious about possible monetary motivations, not accusations.
- Zimmerman's legal fund had raked in over $300,000 in donations and it had all been spent on living expenses and defense by July 2012 (according to O'Mara), so new donation solicitation strategies were implemented (I have no idea how much has been raked in altogether)
-O'Mara waited til the last minute to depose Witness 8, even though he had everything necessary to do so and it's clear (to me) that she will not make a strong witness on the stand; any good attorney can likely poke holes in her testimony (regardless of how truthful it might be; more a weakness in her ability to comprehend and articulate effectively - IMO).
-Meanwhile, O'Mara motioned to delay the trial for as long as possible, until the judge said, "no more".
-Zimmerman and O'Mara decided to waive the SYG Immunity Hearing that could have avoided a trial altogether; with no criminal record for George. If they feel they have a strong case and George is confident in his story and the facts, he could have testified this month and had his name cleared, with all charges dropped. (I understand that they also wouldn't want him to testify if they didn't think he had a good chance of winning, for whatever reason, as it could hurt his self defense case,)
IDK if defense fund donations are legally required to be refunded if there is a balance in the account when immunity is granted. I do know that this trial is going to be televised and a lot of people feel strongly that George is innocent before hearing the evidence in court (same with the opposing side). Betting a lot more money will pour in for Zimmerman as the trial approaches and O'Mara goes back on Hannity and friends.
Anyway, Momma Gladys Zimmerman has more to worry about than just George.
-Back in February, the judge denied Shellie Zimmerman's request to have the perjury charges dropped. She allegedly failed to disclose nearly $100,000 in donation assets and lied about the couple's finances at his 4/20/12 bond hearing. Corey will present jailhouse recordings of her calls with George and bank statements as evidence.
-A pre-trial hearing is scheduled for April 17
th (seems as though Shellie is waiving appearance again). It's a felony charge with a max of 5 years. If she doesn't plea, looks like her trial date might bump against George's.
Media, politics, race, money (on both side) ...George Zimmerman's trial is going to be a major circus. Hoping the truth of what really went down between two men in a matter of minutes on the night that Travyon Martin was killed can be pulled out from under the tent.
