Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester set Zimmerman’s bond at $150,000, but said he would not be released today, pending deliberations about the terms of the release.
The bail hearing featured dramatic testimony from Zimmerman, who took the stand and offered an apology to Martin’s parents.
“I wanted to say that I am sorry for the loss of your son,” Zimmerman said…”I thought he was a little bit younger than I am,” he said. “I did not know whether he was armed or not.”
As to the “little bit younger” part of his testimony, it seems to conflict with some of the evidence we’ve already seen: In the transcript of the 911 call, Zimmerman tells the operator (correctly) that Martin appears to be “in his late teens.” Zimmerman is 28.
He got bail? Because I don’t see that anywhere in the HuffPo article, or anywhere else on the internet. Are you making stuff up, Paul?
He can’t be released unless he ponies up 10% of that $150,000, and finds a bail bondsmen to insure the other 90%. That’s all that’s happened so far – the judge set the dollar amount. Did he actually POST bail?
What’s a hipster?
Just googled Paul to see what he looks like. Late teens? Like Paul, I have no point.
He’ll be able to post the $150k like that *snaps fingers*. You’ve seen his website, right? It’s a motherfucking American flag with a PayPal “donate” button in front of it. What more does anyone need to know?
