Zimmerman doesn't want to wear prison uniform in court
http://www.cfnews13.com/content/news/cfnews13/news/article.html/content/news/articles/cfn/2012/6/27/zimmerman_plain_clot.html In a new motion filed Monday, defense attorney Mark O'Mara asked the judge to allow his client to wear civilian clothing instead of a prison uniform. O'Mara also asked that Zimmerman be allowed to appear without handcuffs or restraints. He noted his client was allowed to wear plain clothes to his first bond hearing in April. "It is unlikely that the interest by the media in this case will wane any time soon," said O'Mara in his latest motion. "The manner in which Mr. Zimmerman is portrayed by the media will have a tremendous impact on his ability to receive a fair trial." O'Mara claimed the image of George Zimmerman in a jail uniform and shackles at his first court appearance has circulated across the Internet, calling the photo "extremely prejudicial" to his client.

7. Same here. Shoes, too.

I understand there are some folks out there who won't wear Bruno Magli shoes because they are considered "OJ shoes."
My guess is that in his current home at the Lovelock Correctional Center, he doesn't get to wear "OJ shoes." |

9. I think he should wear whatever is usually worn in this particular court. No special treatment.

10. That's not standard procedure for hearings.
