"In recordings of conversations released today during a court hearing, Zimmerman and his wife, Shelly Zimmerman, cryptically talk about his second passport in a safety deposit box they shared.

The passport deal, my guess is, he says "hey that one was never used and I had no intention of using it, I didn't even think it was active" or some spiel like that. Lame to an extent, but what else is he going to say?

And as posted somewhere else the hilarity of the entire event is the $200,000 donated by the right wingers ended up sending Zimmerman and now possible his wife, to jail.

2. I'm not sure how anyone could hear that conversation and think that GZ and SZ were referring to 10 dollars or 8 dollars and 26 cents when they discussed moving money into accounts. (I don't remember the exact number mentioned).

3. In the phone calls, they note the calls are being recorded. So, either they are the dumbest conspirators around or they somehow thought what they were doing was legit. At least, that's my opinion.

Yeah right. And it turned out so well for Trayvon, Zimmerman, their families, and us taxpayers.

We should all do the same.

However, while he was waiting for the bail hearing he might not have had internet access to check the latest total in the PayPal account, the so-called "code" could be nothing more than the prosecutor's fevered imagination, and I haven't seen anything to discredit the account that he acquired the gun in response to dog trouble upon being informed that pepper spray wouldn't work quickly enough to disable an attacking dog.

GZ's weapon was fully loaded and double action.  Didn't require cocking most likely unless what you claim to hear is him putting a seventh round into the chamber and reloading the clip, while walking, carrying a cell phone, black flashlight and being in a probably dark space where he was unsure if he was alone or not.  

Lots of other people think these sounds are GZ's banging on his black flashlight later found by the body.  The particular brand has customer complaints about the switch being faulty.  I'm unsure but it does seem to make sense that since his keychain flashlight was found lit he may have switched to using this smaller flashlight for that reason.  

But as long as I'm here, the new passport was obtained two weeks after it was reported lost/stolen in 2004, not two weeks after the shooting; it was a 10-year passport with a 2014 expiration.

Making a statement to the press using the word "misleading" is one thing but using the phrase "blatant lie" goes too far and jeopardizes the defendants right to a fair trial by impartial jury.

Will this judge hold Dale Gilbreath, Bernie de La Rionda and Angela Corey accountable for their lie about not having access to Zimmerman's medical records at that very same bail hearing?

The most telling part is when DLR even says she is "confident that OMara knew nothing about this". Of course she is!. It was pure stupidity by GZ and his wife, and OMara would never in a million years advise GZ and them to try and pull this stunt.

The ONLY defense I can think of...if I'm right...is that the website only was setup 48 hours before and everything happened so fast, they just (very stupidly) thought it would be easier to stick to their original plan at the bond hearing and just play dumb if they are pressed about their new website....Because playing dumb almost never gets you caught.

Benjamin Crump, a lawyer for the Martin family, said, "Judge Lester's decision is the most important ruling in this case so far because it focuses everyone's attention back on the credibility of George Zimmerman, which is the crux of the matter in this case." Mr. Martin, 17, who was unarmed, was killed on the night of Feb. 26 after an encounter with Mr. Zimmerman that turned violent.  [ NYT.]

O'mara contended that the defense had not characterized Zimmerman's statement as of yet.

Also, I found it interesting that the Judge mentioned that he was surprised the state had not initiated something (perjury charges) against GZ's wife and at the PC DLR said it wasn't up to him to bring such charges.  So who is it up to?

8. On 3/8/2004, the Defendant filed a claim with the Department of State Passport Office alleging that his United States passport was lost or stolen and applied for another United States passport.  See attached Form DS64 Statement Regarding a Lost or Stolen Passport.

9. On 3/26/2004, Defendant obtained another United States passport #017355779.  This passport is currently valid until 2014.  See attached United States passport application.

He reported it stolen on 3/8/04 and applied that same day for the new passport, and received it a little over two weeks later, in 2004.

The money issues looks bad for him, but can't quite figure how they were intentionally being deceitful when in the recording thet admit to knowing they are being recorded. Will wait to hear what they have to say in their own defense.

Agreed it looks bad for Z, but being an idiot and a liar doesn't mean that someone is guilty of murder 2. From the evidence yet, I don't see where he is guilty of murder2. Even manslaughter given the eyewitness testimony etc.

The motion filed by ASA de la Rionda asked Judge Lester to suppress a wealth of evidence subject to public disclosure.

It encompasses the names, addresses and phone numbers of 22 witnesses, crime scene photos and autopsy photos and any others showing the victim's body, the 911 call that captured the shooting (already widely available on the Internet), Mr. Zimmerman's statements to police, and cell phone records.

MOM claims that disclosure will "adversely affect the proper administration of justice in this case, and may make it impossible to find an appropriate jury unaffected by this information."

Attorneys for the news media argued that this "far exceeds what the law permits to be treated as a confession."

The Court indicated that he would review the records but that it would take about 4 weeks to do so.  He is expected to give his ruling after a 30-day review period. No new evidence will be released to the media until that ruling.

Although Lester told the court he agreed with arguments from the defense and prosecution to keep information sealed, he said "the law is against us."

Lester refused to seal the 911 call, saying that it was a "non-issue" since the tape had already been leaked, but he agreed to review the arguments over the rest of the evidence.

What the prosecution is seeking to exclude GZ's statements because they are "contradictory and inconsistent with the physical elements and statements of witnesses; or statements that could be used against him."

By claiming to want to keep them from the media, they are able to stall turning this material over to the defense.  Eventually they will have to turn over all the materials to the defense but as far as I can tell the only thing the defense has is what the public has already seen.  

I may be totally wrong however as IANAL.  

As for the defense, I'm less sure of what their underlying motives are.

Cell phone records may include intemperate remarks by the defendant in the form of text messages.  The prosecution brought up something about a text making reference to  "a reverend" at the first bond  hearing but an objection from the defense was sustained.
