SECOND PASSPORT GIVES JUDGE THE EXCUSE TO LABEL ZIMMERMAN A FLIGHT RISK

Judge used words like ‘false testimony,’ ‘mislead,’ ‘conceal’ and ‘flee’ more than a dozen times during Thursday’s bail hearing

George Zimmerman is his own worst enemy. Not only did he leave his car when he shouldn’t have the night of his deadly confrontation with Trayvon Martin, but he deceived the court by claiming to be indigent when in fact he had collected $135,000 in donations on his website. To make matters worse, he had two passports and when, as a condition of being granted $150,000 bail, he was ordered to turn in his passport, Zimmerman did not turn in the second passport. What a stupid jerk!

Zimmerman gave Judge Kenneth Lester the perfect excuse for labeling him a flight risk. But is the withholding of that passport evidence that Zimmerman was a flight risk? No, not at all! Zimmerman was a free man when charged with second degree murder. He voluntarily turned himself in. And when his bail was revoked, he again turned himself in. Had he wanted to, he could have fled anytime before he was charged with murder and before his bail was revoked. Thus he has twice demonstrated that he is not a flight risk.

Here is a reality check. Fleeing to another country to escape prosecution for a crime is not at all easy. You have to find a country that does not have an extradition agreement with the U.S. And you have to have a lot of money to take up residence in a foreign nation, the kind of money Zimmerman does not have, even with the donations to his website.

Unlike Zimmerman, Judge Lester is not stupid. The judge said he believed Zimmerman and his wife Shellie had intended to flee the country but were prevented from doing so because of the electronic monitoring device he was required to wear. But Judge Lester knows damn well that Zimmerman is not a flight risk. He was pissed off that the stupid jerk deceived the court by falsely claiming to be indigent and that he withheld his second passport. He just used Zimmerman’s stupidity as an excuse to set his bail at $1million.

You can bet that Judge Lester was not unmindful that an angry black community wants a pound of Zimmerman’s flesh. That’s the real reason he set bail so high on Thursday. And the judge added the following bail conditions: Zimmerman must remain in Seminole County; he must be electronically monitored at all times; he cannot open a bank account; he cannot obtain a passport; he cannot set foot on the grounds of Orlando’s airport; and he must obey a 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew.

In his eight-page bail order, Judge Lester used words like ‘false testimony,’ ‘mislead,’ ‘conceal’ and ‘flee’ more than a dozen times. He clearly painted Zimmerman as untrustworthy. And if Judge Lester is the judge who will preside over Zimmerman’s murder trial, poor old stupid George is a dead duck!

With the fear of Rodney King II hanging over the judicial proceedings, it really doesn’t matter who will preside over the Zimmerman trial or where it will be held. His trial in state court will amount to a judicial lynching and if the rope somehow breaks, the Feds are waiting in the wings to hang him for violating Trayvon Martin’s civil rights.

In the meantime, thanks to a 20-fold increase since Thursday in donations to his legal defense fund, Zimmerman was able to post bond and leave jail on Friday to await his judicial lynching.
