Questions remain about $200,000 in Zimmerman's
PayPal accounts
1:21 p.m. EST, April 27, 2012|
By Rene Stutzman, Orlando Sentinel
SANFORD – A judge in the George Zimmerman case said this morning he wants more information about the
$200,000 donors sent to the defendant's PayPal accounts.
Meanwhile, an attorney for the family of slain teen Trayvon Martin expressed outrage about Zimmerman's
money, saying the court should revoke his bond immediately. That didn't happen at today's hearing in Sanford.

2. "They tried to portray themselves as indigent that they did not have any money," Trayvon family attorney
Benjamin Crump told CNN.
Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, said he has taken control of the money and was not aware of the
donations during the April 20 bond hearing.
About $5,000 of the donor money was used to post Zimmerman's bond, O'Mara said.
At the bond hearing, Zimmerman had access to the funds and heard his wife say they had no savings.
O'Mara said he believed it was an oversight — not intentional deception — that his client didn't disclose the
money during the bond hearing.
O'Mara said he found out about the money four days after the bond hearing when he asked his client to shut
down his website. Zimmerman then asked him then what to do with all the PayPal donations.
O'Mara said there was about $150,000 left when he took control. The family also used the money on living
expenses and on setting up somewhere secure for him to stay.
O'Mara said he did not foresee the judge increasing his client's bond because of the donations.
"150,000 dollars is a high bond," he said.
He said there was not one or two huge Internet donors but many people, some who gave hundreds of dollars.
He said he'd do everything in his power to keep their names private, including possibly risking a contempt
ruling by keeping them secret if the judge orders him or Special Prosecutor Angela Corey to release them.
The money has since been deposited in trust accounts managed exclusively by O'Mara, he told Circuit Court
Judge Kenneth Lester, Jr.
O'Mara asked the judge if he could disclose a donor list and information about who had authority over the
accounts in a private meeting to avoid publicly exposing contributors to "ridicule and danger."
He also said he will file a motion soon, asking the judge to protect from release the names of witnesses.
"We have to do it," he said, "in a way that protects the sanctity of the witnesses."
Earlier in the courtroom, he said he fears that witnesses will refuse to cooperate out of fear of harassment.
He has not seen the state's evidence against his client and is eager to, he said. Although today is the deadline for
him to get it, he said he wants a delay of several days or a couple of weeks to make sure news organizations and
others do not get it.
That means there'll likely be another hearing at which media lawyers will request full disclosure.
O'Mara also said that with the Internet gifts, he now expects to be paid. He bills $400 an hour, he said, and
predicted this is a 1,000-hour case. He's already spent 130 hours on it, he said.
When asked about Crump's comments, criticizing his failure to earlier disclose the Internet gifts, O'Mara
pointed out that the family also is accepting donations via a website.

3. "Everyone is seeking donations in this case, including the Trayvon Martin family," O'Mara said.
He noted that he set up a new website for his client, http://www.gzlegalcase.com.
At today's hearing, Lester rejected the prosecution's request to raise Zimmerman's bond, as well as Angela
Corey's request for a gag order on O'Mara.
He said he would not hear arguments about a gag order and he praised both Corey's office and O'Mara for
tamping down emotions in this case.
O'Mara said he was concerned about a gag order, noting that he's been very careful, except in one incidence, not
to discuss the facts of the case in media interviews.
He also noted that this is the most "significant media event" in the country right now and "handlers" for others
involved in the case are frequently commenting in the media.
Also this morning, attorneys for the Orlando Sentinel, WFTV-Channel 9, NBC, CNN, The New York Times
and other media companies gathered in court to fight for access to records in the Zimmerman case.
Some of what they're demanding was released Monday, a week after they made their requests.
Those are the records in Zimmerman's court file, such things as his written plea of not guilty and a request by
his lawyer that an earlier judge step aside because of a potential conflict of interest.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder for shooting Trayvon, an unarmed black 17-year-old to
death in Sanford Feb. 26.
Zimmerman, a Neighborhood Watch volunteer, said he fired in self defense.
