George Zimmerman wife arrested: George Zimmerman's wife arrested, charged with perjury - Orlando Sentinel


Curiouser and curiouser.


However, prosecutors say Shellie Zimmerman spent the days before that hearing shifting thousands of dollars out of her husband's account, then deliberately lied to the judge.

On Tuesday, she was arrested on a perjury charge and booked into John E. Polk Correctional Facility, the same jail her husband has called home since the deception was revealed earlier this month, leading the judge to revoke his bond.​


Looks like small-time thinking in a big-time game.

Breaking news in Florida. I hope we keep our 'Stand Your Ground Law' here. We need it as the crime rate is dropping.

Re: They just arrested Mrs Zimmerman for perjury

I was assaulted and robbed 4 years ago in St Petersburg, FL.....I have a concealed weapon these days. Us older women who live alone need our protection. I had to have surgery for a subdural hematoma. I could have died. We badly need our 'Stand Your Ground Law' here. IT is not a RACIST ISSUE.

WTH?
The Judge?
Did you actually read what you provided?

It was the Assistant State Attorney John Guy, or in other words, the State Attorney's Office.


It was there fault for not asking the proper question to begin with.
And therefore, a pathetic move on their part.

Lesson = don't cover for your spouse and lie to a judge thinking you'll get away with it while you're at the very center of an international case in which god himself wants to see the trial on tv.

Except that she didn't lie.
She truthfully answered the questions asked.
The persecutor failed to ask the proper questions.

How cozy!

No dear. That is your schtick. I wouldn't think of encroaching upon your territory.

I find this incredibly humorous. Dishonesty will come back on you eventually.
 
Re: George Zimmerman's wife arrested, charged with perjury


My link had few details.

In an affidavit, prosecutors revealed new details about Shellie Zimmerman's alleged efforts to hide money from the court.

Four days before she testified to having no knowledge of the funds, the affidavit says, Shellie Zimmerman began a series of transfers into her account — totaling $74,000 between April 16 and April 19.

The affidavit says about $47,000 more was transferred from George Zimmerman's account to his sister's. Shellie Zimmerman withdrew about $18,000 more cash, prosecutors say.

Prosecutors say the Zimmermans used a rudimentary "code" to discuss the money in recorded jailhouse phone calls — referring to $100,000, for example, as "$100." At least two of the calls, the state alleges, were made while Shellie Zimmerman and her husband's sister were at a local credit union making the transactions.

"In my account do I have at least $100?" Zimmerman asked. "No... there's like $8. $8.60," she replied.

Zimmerman told his wife to "pay off all the bills" with the money, prosecutors said, including an American Express card and a Sam's Club card. He also instructed her on how to pay for his bail.

According to the affidavit, after her husband was released on bond days after the bond hearing, she transferred more than $85,000 back into his account. A branch manager at their credit union told prosecutors he knew the couple, and saw Shellie Zimmerman talking to her husband on the phone on April 16.

The manager said he'd helped Shellie Zimmerman transfer control of George Zimmerman's account, at one point speaking directly to George Zimmerman by phone.

Shellie Zimmerman was arrested about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, deputies said. She quickly bonded out of jail.

We need the 'Stand Your Ground Law' in Florida. I was assaulted and pistol whipped at 10:30 in the morning 4 years ago. My grandson(a baby) was in the car also. This was in St Petersburg, Fl... I suffered a subdural hematoma and I had to have surgery at Bay Front Hospital. What do you expect us older women to do. The police can't be everywhere to protect us. I have a concealed weapon these days. We have to protect ourselves. I am just lucky that I am not dead. I feel bad for Traavon's parents, but it is either him or us VICTIMS. I am from Texas and I am NRA. WE HAVE AV RIGHT TO PROTECT OURSELVES.

Im not really interested enough in this case to re-look up the transcript, but didnt the transcript show her being asked how much was there, her saying she didnt know exactly how much was there but the brother in law did and then offer to call the brother in law? This really looks like the prosecution is making this a personal vendetta and I cant see how this plays well with potential jurors.

You think that makes a difference to what you said. :doh
It makes what you said even worse.
You had very little to read and still didn't get it right.

Sounds like lies to me, given the money transfers going on immediately prior to the hearing:

Doesn't sound like a vendetta to me........
 
Re: George Zimmerman's wife arrested, charged with perjury

There was more than one open ended question which could have been appropriately answered with the fact that there were tens of thousands of dollars she was moving around among accounts.
Among other things asked was if Shellie could estimate the amount of money. If she really was moving that money around as prosecutors allege, then she could have provided an estimate with some degree of accuracy even if it was not accurate to the penny.

I am not yet sold on the prosecutor with a personal vendetta angle.

It wasn't her money and therefore she was not in the position.

Do you always throw your support for those most likely to have committed a crime?

I would suggest you actually look at what she was asked in regards to an estimate.


Q: How much money is in that website right now? How much money as a result of that website was –

A: Currently, I do not know.

Q: Do you have an estimate as to how much money has already been obtained or collected?

A: I do not.​



She answered those questions truthfully.

No question that she's a liar and was trying to pull a fast one.
