It's Watch!... Neighborhood Watch. Not shoot.

The photo has shock value but doesn't add much in the way of info -- there has never been much dispute about the fact that the two of them fought.

 

ABC News paid $200000 for the Casey Anthony photos. How much did they pay for these?

 

It's not like TV networks have falsified stuff before.

 

MSNBC just released another photo from the front. It looks worse.

 

Guy charged with second degree murder has bond set at $150k? Painfully low. If that happened in Cal. no one would be jailed, everyone would be out on bail. Well wait, no one would stand trial either because they'd be gone.

 

He already killed a guy.

 

Yeah but hearing from the "experts" it sounds like the judge followed the norm for Florida cases like this one.

The defense attorneys I listened to did not seem surprised at the bail amount or that Zimmerman was released.

They did express surprise that Zimmerman would be allowed to move to another state.

 

As qt says, it seems low. Seems very low going by this, too, which lists murder 2 from 500K to 1M. Maybe Florida bails run low generally.

Agree it does seem low, but I doubt that the judge would go outside of the norm in Fla given the high profile nature of the case.

 

Just echoing other comments, can't believe the bail is that low for second-degree murder.

 

"Professor Alan Dershowitz of Harvard Law School stated upon release of the arrest affidavit that it was “so thin that it won’t make it past a judge on a second degree murder charge … everything in the affidavit is completely consistent with a defense of self-defense.”

After the release of the photo, however, Dershowitz went much further, telling Breitbart News that if the prosecutors did have the photo and didn’t mention it in the affidavit, that would constitute a “grave ethical violation,” since affidavits are supposed to contain “all relevant information.”

Dershowitz continued, “An affidavit that willfully misstates undisputed evidence known to the prosecution is not only unethical but borders on perjury because an affiant swears to tell not only the truth, but the whole truth, and suppressing an important part of the whole truth is a lie."

 

Sounds like the prosecution was unprepared for how far the judge was willing to allow a bail hearing to go.
