It ain't the crime, it is the cover up that gets them every time.

I think the Zimmermans are in a whole pile of shit quite apart from the murder charge and the perjury charge.

Records show Shellie Zimmerman in the days before the hearing transferred $74,000 in eight smaller amounts ranging from $7,500 to $9,990, from her husband's credit union account to hers, according to an arrest affidavit.

They are potentially going to get charged with money laundering offenses on top of the perjury charges. She made a deliberate effort to conceal transactions (by initiating a series of under $10,000 transactions) to further a crime (the perjury charge) and he is going to be wrapped up in this set of actions too.

They have now fucked with the judge, embarrassed the police, and thumbed their noses at the DA's office. I'm thinking this is a rather silly way to go about getting away with murder.

1. one word

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTT!

13. It took me several minutes to figure out your post. (It's been a long day.) I kept saying it to

myself over and over till it all of a sudden made sense...

2. Actually, I think the police embarrassed themselves

as they were more than willing to let Zimmerman contradict himself while they were strong-arming witnesses on his behalf (not behest).

But you're certainly correct; seems stupid is as stupid does...

[Warren Stupidity]

5. they did initially but now the Zimmermans are seen as clownish grifters and it makes

the cops look way worse than before. Duped by dopes. Not good.

3. And embarrassed his attorney,

a good guy, imo, trying to do a difficult job well, and for little pay.

[Warren Stupidity]

7. yeah, he's not going to take a case before that judge again anytime soon.

[Mnemosyne]

4. I bet they heard that amounts under $9900 aren't reported to the feds,

Idiots.

[Warren Stupidity]

6. fucking amateurs.

TV criminals.

8. Technically, it's true...

What that leaves out though is that there's also measures, both human and automatic, looking for people who are conspicuously avoiding transfers that size. The assumption being, quite correctly, that if you're trying to hide tens of thousands of dollars from the government, you're probably doing so for illegal reasons.

9. If he loves his wife, he will take a plea deal he wont like. nm

[Warren Stupidity]

10. I wouldn't bet on him being a stand up guy.

Doesn't fit the picture I'm looking at.

[rhett o rick]

11. I agree. nm

12. I was actually surprised she was only charged with perjury

I thought criminal conspiracy charges would be filed against her as well, but it is certainly possible that they will be later. I am sure a criminal conspiracy case takes more time to build so it is possible the prosecution is merely holding off on those charges until they have gathered more evidence.

14. nice to see that Zimmerman is already paying for his crime.

His life will never be the same and that's the way it should be. It's always easier to get into something than it is to get out of it.

15. I like how you think & 110% agree. from your lips to Goddess' ears ~nt

[cbrer]

16. It is nowhere near

Enough punishment to fit the huge, egregious,uncaring, warped, morally detestable nature of the crimes of this man. Pile it on. Lock his ass up. Leaving dead bodies in your wake should carrry LOTS more penalty. And yes that goes for Presidents too.

[Vattel]

17. Dumb dumb dumb.

But if he is innocent of murder, fear of being railroaded might have motivated this.

[Skittles]

18. fucking disgusting

these two are both scum and now their credibility is completely shot (hey was that pun?)....GOOD
