1. Zimmerman did not testify at his bail hearing. Only his wife did.

2. His wife offered, during testimony, to contact the person that knew exactly how much was in the accounts in question so as to get an accurate figure. The prosecution didn't take her up on it.

3. It looks so bad for the two of them that the prosecutor edited the transcript on the perjury charging document in order to cover up point 2 above. Which is to say: It looks worse for the prosecutor.

Zimmerman did testify at his bail hearing- but not about money- only an apology to Trayvon's family.

Z's wife was asked to estimate the amount in trust, but claimed she couldn't. Yet a few days before, IIRC, she and her husband discussed on the jailhouse phone about transferring $130k form one account to another. She was also asked at the bond hearing whether there were any additional assets that could be liquidated, but failed to at least mention the $130k.

The court transcript itself was not edited. What the prosecution did was not fully include all testimony from it in the papers filed against Z's wife. This could have been a bad move, but not one which will prevent charges against her.

I have both read and listened to Z's wife's testimony and believe that while it cannot be proved that she out and out lied, she certainly can legitimately be accused of having been very deceptive and IMO probably lied by omission IMO. The problem for Mrs and Mr. Z is that neither he never made any attempt to correct the record during or following Mrs. Z's testimony, when arguably, they should have.

When I think about it all, the family plan was to use the pay-pal money to pay Z's bail. How then, could they have not known of it?

Nevertheless, this is a close one as prosecution for perjury in a case like Mrs. Z's is very difficult to prove because her answers were rather ambiguous and strict proof of full knowledge of a lie under oath is required.

They should hang Z's wife as well. Guilt by association plus it creates a larger sacrifice for appeasement.

surely you know that when on a high profile trial for murder, $130k is like having a quarter tank of gas. If i had to guess, he was scared of how he was going to pay for attorneys, rent, bills etc however that does not excuse the lie.

That is what many hypothesise including the fact that he had just hired his lawyer a few days before his arrest and may have not gained trust yet.

Exactly as to the appeasement issue. He' could walk and she could get a slap on the wrist. Or, the charges against her and threatened charges against him could be used as a leverage tool should plea negotiations come along in the future. It is a very rare and difficult charge to prove because it requires proof of the defendants state of mind in instances like this one. I think she was a little too sly for her and her husband's own good.

No one ever said Zimmerman was the sharpest pencil in the box, but not withstanding, when I saw him he looked pretty beat up. Trevon was pictured as a nice young highschool kid when the reality is that he was a punk. The typical left wing media has turned this into a race issue. I don't know how that could be. A Jewish Mexican vs. a black American? Who's the racist here? If the jury of his peers are 4 Mexicans, 4 Jews, and 4 Blacks, then it sounds like no contest. The media will continue to portray this as a racial incident with the help of the likes of J. Jackson, Wright, and that idiot from NY. Good Luck Zimmerman.
