it is very rare and unusual for bail to be granted in a 2nd degree murder case.
however, i suspect this has already been negotiated between prosecutor and Z lawyer.
Any bail will require a significant cash amt., whether in money or property.
The judge will likely have to set in the range of around $250,000.
The magistrate judge hearing Zimmerman's case Thursday will consider Zimmerman's character, his likelihood to make subsequent court appearances, and his ties to the community when deciding whether to grant bail.
Z may be safer in jail in PC. he could not leave florida.
