George Zimmerman Lawyer: No 'Stand Your Ground' Hearing in April
SANFORD - George Zimmerman's "stand your ground" hearing will not begin April 22 as planned, after his lawyer Mark O'Mara told a judge this morning he will not need the court time she'd set aside.
O'Mara stopped short of confirming that Zimmerman will combine the hearing with his trial, as the defense lawyer has previously said he was considering.
"Haven't made that decision yet. Our real focus is getting ready for the trial," O'Mara told reporters after the hearing, adding "... there's only time for one hearing and that's a jury trial. ... We have precious little time." More
A legal ploy to buy some time. My bet is that he is working out a plea deal with prosecutors. Thinking he pleads guilty to voluntary manslaughter, get 12 - 15 years, 10 suspended.

ReplyDeleteGet out your riot gear cause this guy will be found innocent.
You are right 4:05. If he is rightfully found innocent, there will be riots. It might be a good thing. It will give us a chance to thin the herd.
