Shellie Zimmerman, the wife of the Florida man charged with fatally
shooting Trayvon Martin, was arrested and charged Tuesday afternoon with
one count of perjury, according to law enforcement officials.
The charges stem from what prosecutors have described as a series of
lies and distortions made by the couple during an earlier bond hearing
in April, when George Zimmerman and his family claimed they were broke.
By late Tuesday afternoon, Shellie Zimmerman posted bond, set at $1,000.
Shortly after the initial bond hearing, it was revealed that George
Zimmerman had raised upwards of $200,000 via a website set up to collect
funds for his defense. At a June 1 hearing, his bond was revoked after
prosecutors presented recorded conversations in which Zimmerman and his
wife seem to collude to keep the funds hidden. Zimmerman instructed his
wife to "pay off all the bills," which included those for American
Express and Sam’s Club credit cards.

What a crappy country this is becoming, where nobody is ever safe anymore?
The founder of Facebook even renounced his citizenship. I wonder why?
It sounds like to me, the government is setting the Zimmermans up, hoping that they can make this embarrassing issue go away, and who cares about justice?
Of course, if they are not able to stack the jury for conviction, he will probably get off anyway? Good for him, that our founders were wise enough to secure the right to a jury trial. Easier for connected establishment judges to sign onto a wicked agenda, than to convince all 12 jurors of unproven guilt.
I would not at all be surprised, if the Zimmermans leave the country after this. Considering the crappy way they have been treated, even before they are found, to be something other than innocent, or not convictable due to lack of evidence.
What kind of country attacks, possibly-innocent defendants, in such a way? Devising ways to entrap them, even if innocent. Are our prisons, not overflowing enough already? We ought to be ASHAMED to have a fourth of the world's incarcerated people, with only 4% of the world population.
Who doesn't cry "poor" once in a while. She was trying to get the bond as low as she could. Has anybody watched "Law and Order?" That is what people do.
Who knows if she even knew what George had coming in as far as donations were concerned. I always try and hide or minimize major financial swings from my wife. If the swings are positive, I surprise her. That way if it doesn't turn out nobody (except me) feels bad. If the swings are negative, I break it to her gently over a period of time.
Somebody told me what they thought about how fake even CSI is. No lady detective shows up at a crime scene in high heels, or so the person said.
This is so typical of the American injustice system. Beat up on the innocent and accused, find some technicality to beat up on them with, while letting the guilty, including high level politicians, go free.
Sounds like he is being railroaded, by this scam of a racist country, to me. Look at all the persecution, and he hasn't even went to trial yet?
You think this is only his problem? No, it affects us all.
I'm also libertarian. I voted for Ron Paul.
I checked, and there's no way to choose both conservative and libertarian. It's exclusive-or, one or the other. Multiple-choice, not text-edit. Should I just say libertarian? I think not, for that almost sounds liberal. I wish to state that I believe in morals also.
Here, let me get you a definition of "conservative," as you seem confused.
Are you that learning-disabled?
