O'Marainitially took the case pro bono. That changed after he found out about the defense fund. It's never a good idea to deliberately lie to the judge.

Zimmerman and O,Mara are doing just fine. Since this story of him going back to jail broke, donations to his defence fund are coming in at a rate of $1000 per day!
Zimmerman's Donation's Spike on Jail Return

O'Mara went on to say Sunday that he thinks the defense "explanation, or apology if it is, should go directly to the person who deserves it, in this case that is Judge Lester."End Quote
"Again, (we are) just hoping that the judge will give us an audience so we can further explain away why what happened seems to have happened," O'Mara said.
Maybe someone will have Dershowitz explain what the hell that means.

I think his defense lawyer and the judge realize Zimmerman is playing them. I wonder how long it'll be before his supporters and defense contributors realize it.
When he got his bond revoked does that mean he loses the money he put up or is it refunded? I wonder because it will pay for a week of living expenses at his current rate.
Documented head injuries to Zimmerman.

Document injuries to poor Trayvon's knuckles. I guess Zimmerman's strategy was to head butt Trayvon's knuckles until he got his gun out.

It's going to be fun watching your eyes rollwhen this case goes in the dumper.
It's a shame Trayvon's family is being used as pawns in a media and political circus.
Mr. O'Mara says that poor george was "confused and fearful" at the last Bond hearing which is why he didn't speak up at his court hearing about conspiring with his wife to squirrel the funds away and not tell the Judge.
Well he will now have to sit there in jail at least for another week because the Judge has no cases this week and has taken off work until next Monday. Sorry George, the Judge has gone fishing!
News: Attorney: George Zimmerman was confused, fearful
It sounds like they were confused about being able to get away with this and fearful they might actually have to send the money on legal expenses like bail instead of luxury living expenses. Then there's this.
I'm quite sure O'Mara will try to keep this out of the trial. But he did make that extraordinary move of actually questioning the lead Detective about the case and allowing Zimmerman to take the stand to testify at the bail hearing. So I would say that it was O'Mara that opened the door to admissibility and he has no one to blame other than himself.If there is a trial, prosecutors, under certain circumstances, may be able to cite the bond hearing to raise questions about Zimmerman's credibility in a case in which he is going to need to convince a jury about his version of what happened during the confrontation.
Lawyer says George Zimmerman knew judge was misinformed about his finances
So basically O'Mara's motion will be. My client lied to you, he knows he lied to you and he did nothing to expose or correct that lie to the court.George Zimmerman, the man charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, knew his finances had been misrepresented to the court when he sought to be freed on bond in April, his attorney said Monday.
In a statement posted to the official website for the Zimmerman legal case, Mark O'Mara said he would file a motion for a second bond hearing later Monday. (He had not done so by 5 p.m. ET, clerks told NBC News.)
In the statement, O'Mara said Zimmerman acknowledges that he "allowed his financial situation to be misstated in court."
So tell me again, who's side O'Mara is on? He's one hell of a Prosecutor.
I was listening to one of the satellite radio news feeds driving home and some National Defence Attorney was opining the same way and concluded that he can't believe what Mark O'Mara is stating publicly about his client!
Maybe O'Mara has seen enough and wants off this case already?![]()
The facts are still largely in dispute. This lying will be a big quiver in the prosecutor's arsenal though
