les délais de décision sur les contributions juge Zimmerman

George Zimmerman, le volontaire de surveillance de quartier accusé d'avoir tué à tort Trayvon Martin, n'aura pas immédiatement de remettre les dons faits à son site, un juge de Floride a déclaré vendredi.

Zimmerman recueillies sur $204,000 en dons par le biais du site Web, mais n'a pas révélé les contributions au cours de son audience de caution la semaine dernière, selon son avocat, Mark O'Mara. Les procureurs avaient demandé une caution de $1 millions, mais le juge Kenneth Lester Jr. fait $150,000 après la famille de Zimmerman a déclaré qu'ils n'avaient pas les ressources nécessaires pour atteindre le niveau supérieur.

État procureur adjoint Bernie de la Rionda a demandé vendredi Lester pour augmenter la liaison à la lumière des dons. Mais le juge a dit qu'il allait retarder de statuer sur la demande, en partie parce qu'il ne sait pas s'il a le pouvoir de dire comment l'argent peut être utilisé.

Lester and O’Mara both said they are concerned about releasing the names of donors to Zimmerman, who has faced threats since the case began making national headlines in March.

Zimmerman, 28, was released Monday on $150,000 sous caution, 10% of which was put up to secure his release while he awaits trial on a second-degree murder charge in Martin’s February 26 décès.

Sur $5,000 from the website contribution was used in making bond, O'Mara dit. The rest came from a loan secured by a family home.

Although Zimmerman spent some of the contributions on living expenses, sur $150,000 remains, O’Mara said Friday. O’Mara said he has put the money into a trust he controls until a final decision is made about its use.

Lester asked for additional information about the accounts but did not indicate when he would rule.

“I’m not going to make a snap decision,” le juge a dit.

Also during Friday’s hearing, Lester declined to consider a gag order requested by prosecutors, saying it was premature and that none of the attorneys in the case had said anything to concern him so far. CNN was among the media organizations opposing the motion.

O’Mara said he learned about the money this week as he and Zimmerman were trying to shut down Zimmerman’s website, Facebook page and Twitter account to avoid concerns about possible impersonators and other problems.

“He asked me what to do with his PayPal accounts, and I asked him what he was talking about,” O’Mara told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Thursday. “He said those were the accounts that had the money from the website he had. And there was about … $204,000 that had come in to date.”

O’Mara had said earlier this month that he believed Zimmerman had no money.

Asked whether knowledge of the money might have made a difference to Lester, who presided at Zimmerman’s bond hearing, O'Mara dit, “It might have.”

O’Mara could not explain why Zimmerman didn’t disclose the funds, but said he didn’t think his client had meant to deceive anyone.

“I consider it an oversight because I don’t see anything else that suggests that Mr. Zimmerman has been insincere or dishonest,” he told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Friday. “The moment I asked him about it, he acknowledged it and forwarded the money.”

Martin avocat de la famille Benjamin Crump dit l'échec de Zimmerman à révéler qu'il avait de l'argent montre qu'il est malhonnête.

“Si son témoignage à l'audience de caution est une indication de ce qui est à venir, alors le mensonge a déjà commencé,” Crump dit.

“Cela va dire beaucoup de choses sur si Trayvon Martin peut obtenir un procès équitable,” il a dit Burnett. “S'il (Lester) ne pas révoquer son lien, le tribunal devrait sérieusement sanction lui si George Zimmerman comprend que vous ne pouvez pas mentir à la cour.”

Séparément, l'avocat dit que la famille Martin a soulevé moins de $100,000 dans les efforts de collecte de fonds à ce jour, et que l'argent recueilli ira à la Fondation Trayvon Martin.

Crump a déclaré que son entreprise ne sera pas percevoir une rémunération en tout de la procédure pénale.

“Si nous recueillons de l'argent, il sera d'un procès civil et non de l'argent des bailleurs de fonds,” dit-il.

Zimmerman a été arrêté Avril 11 après un long délai ponctuée par des manifestations et des rassemblements dans tout le pays appelant à des accusations contre lui.

Les critiques accusent Zimmerman de profilage racial et injustement tué Martin, un 17-year-old afro-américaine. Zimmerman dit à la police qu'il a tiré Martin dans l'auto-défense, selon les rapports de police.

Bien que les détails de la fusillade restent trouble, on sait que Martin s'est aventuré hors de la Sanford, Floride, la maison de la fiancée de son père et est allé à un dépanneur à proximité, où il a acheté un sac de bonbons et un thé glacé. Sur le chemin du retour, il a eu une confrontation avec Zimmerman, qui lui a tiré dessus.

Zimmerman avait appelé 911 se plaindre d'une personne suspecte dans le quartier, selon les autorités.

Dans l'appel, Zimmerman said he was following Martin after the teen started to run, prompting the dispatcher to tell him, “We don’t need you to do that.” Zimmerman pursued Martin anyway but then said he lost sight of him.

According to an Orlando Sentinel story later confirmed by Sanford police, Zimmerman told authorities that after he briefly lost track of Martin, the teen approached him. After the two exchanged words, Zimmerman said, he reached for his cell phone, and then Martin punched him in the nose. Zimmerman said Martin pinned him to the ground and began slamming his head onto the sidewalk, leading to the shooting.

Police have said Zimmerman was not immediately charged because there was no evidence to disprove his account that he’d acted in self-defense. A police report indicated he was bleeding from the nose and the back of his head.

O’Mara on Friday revealed a new website, www.gzlegalcase.com, and another site, not yet live, that will host a defense fund. The only thing on the site Friday afternoon was a statement about the donations.

Regardless of what happens to the contributions, O’Mara intends to open a legal defense fund for his client, dit-il.

“I’ve had dozens, hundreds actually, of people wanting to donate,” , a déclaré jeudi.

O'Mara, who said he charges $400 per hour for family law cases, estimated Zimmerman’s defense costs could reach $1 millions.

“You can really go through a lot of money on a case like this, with the intensity of it,” dit-il
