Do you think Zimmerman will be convicted of murder?

Sorry deal there is no question in my mind that those charges on his wife are going to be use by the state as a tool to try to force a plea deal of some kind out of Zimmerman so they can save face.

Not an uncommon means of forcing a plea deal out of one member of a couple and once more we have a let make a deal justice system.

Bill...are you suggesting that there is no reason to suspect she committed perjury?

Beside the point as the charges will be use as a tool to try to force Zimmerman to take a plea deal over Trayvon death in my opinion and if the state was not thinking in that direction they would not had been in a hurry to charge her.

Her actions have no connections to the self defense issues that night concerning her husband and yet there is little very very little question that the state will cheerfully be willing to drop the charges against her if only Zimmerman will roll over on the shooting charges.

Perhaps you do not have a moral problem with this force deal making but I surely do.

It look like they are going to try to force Zimmerman to take a plea deal by charging his wife.

No, it simply looks like she is being charged with perjury because she lied, under oath, when testifying to the judge.

Aren't you the one who carries on that people should be charged with a crime when they give false testimony?
Well, that's what they are doing to Mrs Zimmerman. I'd think you'd be happy they are enforcing the perjury laws.

It's generally not a good idea to lie, under oath, when you are giving testimony to a judge.


It makes the judge very angry.

she's gonna do some time for her inappropriate actions. just like he is...

Love to find out it the state is in the habit of bringing such charges as they had level against Zimmerman's wife for similar court room misdeeds. Somehow I doubt that they would or had done so in the past as a general rule,

OmsigDavid is correct, firefly, the judge in this case probably did not get angry.
Soccer referees don't get angry; they see a foul, blow their whistle, stop the game and assess the proper penalty.

So it is with judges.

Criminals are not afraid nor are they moved by the emotions of their victims; they do not care if there is anger heading at them, but what they do not like at all is seeing the oncoming rush of cold, hard justice.

I bet Zimmerman isn't sleeping so good.

If the money was in a pay pal account they could argue they weren't aware how much had come in but when they transfer it from George's account to her account and then tell the judge they have no money it looks like they were purposely hiding the money as well as lying about it.

Zimmerman judge: Prosecutor must release Zimmerman's statements to cops
By Jeff Weiner, Orlando Sentinel
June 13, 2012

Within the next two weeks, the public will know exactly what George Zimmerman, in his own words, told authorities about the night he shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Judge Kenneth Lester on Tuesday issued an order granting, in part, a motion filed by several media companies -- including the Orlando Sentinel -- seeking to have evidence in the case released that had previously been withheld from the public.

Prosecutors argued that Zimmerman's statements to law enforcement should remain sealed, under an exemption in Florida's public records law that bars the release of confessions. Zimmerman admits to shooting the Miami Gardens teen but says he did so in self-defense.

After reviewing Zimmerman's statements, Lester concluded that they are not confessions.

Zimmerman "does not acknowledge guilt of the essential elements of the crime. The only element conceded by the defendant is that he shot and killed the victim, but he does not concede any other elements of second-degree murder."

Lester ordered the statements released within 15 days.

The judge did not, however, grant other requests of the media -- chief among them, the names of unidentified civilian witnesses in the case. Lester wrote that identifying them would subject them to intense scrutiny and possible intimidation and present a "serious and imminent threat" to a fair trial.

"The innocent witnesses who have performed their civic or moral duty by reporting what they observed to law enforcement should not have their lives turned upside-down for having done so," he wrote.

Lester acknowledged that, in the past, that information has been public, even in high profile cases. But, Lester wrote, "the world has changed."

"Any person who has logged onto a news website in the last three months has at the least seen a headline relating to this case," he wrote, adding that stories "have routinely been disseminated presenting opinion and rumors as fact."

Among Lester's other rulings: "Tests" performed on Zimmerman, likely referring to a voice-stress test performed by police, the rough equivalent of a lie-detector test, can be made public, but most of Zimmerman's phone records will not be.

Thousands of emails sent to police about the case will be released but not photos depicting Trayvon's body.

The next hearing in the case is June 29, a bond hearing. Zimmerman faces a second-degree murder charge in the Feb. 26 shooting in Sanford.
