George Zimmerman Wins Motion To Postpone His Case

Source: Business Insider

George Zimmerman, the man who shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, has been awarded his second request to extend his case.

His motion to continue was granted Tuesday morning, according to documents released by the Florida State Attorney's Office.

Zimmerman is now scheduled to appear in court at 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 3.

The former neighborhood watchman claims he shot and killed the teenager in self defense. He's charged with second-degree murder.

2. my guess is he wants to raise more money

I'm willing to bet that he just wants more time to raise money and then spend it on anything other than his case, so far, he's paid all his debts, paid off some bills years in advance and done lots of other things that have nothing to do with legal expenses, but hey, who's to tell him how to spend all the hard earned money

4. Duh, He's Out On Bail

And cash is pouring in to his online site.

The article doesn't state why Zimmerman or his attorney need this extra time nor the length of this 2nd time extension. My guess is that extra time favors the defense as the passage of time dulls peoples senses. At some point the prosecution needs to say enough is enough. Martin's parents need closure on this matter.

5. Delay for His Lawyer's Speaking Tour

Mark O'Mara, the attorney for George Zimmerman, who is charged with killing Trayvon Martin, is set to speak to a gun rights group next month.

According to a notice by the Second Amendment Foundation, O'Mara will address the group at its annual conference, although it does not specify what O'Mara will be discussing.

"Gun rights" indeed! Like the right to use their guns on anyone they feel like?

6. This is the biggest windfall of Zimmerman's life. He's a lousy provider,

but now he, his parents, his lawyer and his wife are all cashing in!

People like this make me hope for a hell, but I'm afraid it really is just a Greek philosophical construct.

Dang it.
