How the heck would I know? I heard it on the major news network today. Look it up.

that's funny

make a claim to others but ask THEM to prove it,,,,interesting

I reckon, if the State didn't have that law, a REAL attorney wouldn't help him do it.

Gotta' go fo da big bucks. Them Liars ain't free, dontcha' know.

I am just telling you what I heard on the major news media. You can take that with what ever grain of salt you want.

Hey if you don't want the information, fine. It is not my job or intention to go through hoops to prove to you everything I say or hear.

I am sure there is probably such a law, or he would not be asking for reimbursement.

'real attorneys' get perks from publicity,, good or bad.

still would like to hear the law that says an acquittal is grounds for reimbursement though,,,

Like the Lady said, look it up.

State Law REQUIRES this reimbursement... except for lawyer costs.

"State law requires the reimbursement of all but the most expensive item -- lawyers fees -- estimated at well over $1 million. The state of Florida reported the trial cost it more than $900,000, much of it for security."

Go here: and you can hear the same exact thing I heard if your computer has sound.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/george-zimmerman-florida-reimburse-trial-costs/story?id=20085810

Do you know what I had to google to get this information?

Just the name "Zimmerman"

So don't be so lazy.

I didn't make the claim

So what? You are the one who wants to know WHAT LAW IT IS.

SO LOOK IT UP.

ITS A STATE LAW, I'm sure you can find it.

great,, thanks for a simple answer finally

wasn't too hard,,,lol

so he may be reimbursed for all his 'experts' and Im sure Floridians will be all too happy to provide that payment to him


win/win for all in florida,, good for them

so if I say there is a law that requires white folks to cross the street when a non white walks past

is it the readers responsibility to try and research what the hell I am talking about? Got it,,lol

"THAT RIGHT! They told me so themselves... humans ... are so frustrating."

Ahhhh, your old double standard ...

No mention of the evidence that Martin was a little hoodlum that the judge excluded from evidence.



Probably the reason no civil charges have been made is evidence such as this would be permitted in court.

First Msharmony, what I posted was simply general news/information. I have NO REASON TO MAKE STUFF UP OR LIE. I listen to the news and get news feeds constantly. I should have known YOU would go into the "Prove it" mode. (I guess you always assume I am lying.)

In the future, I suppose for you I will have to name my sources, place links etc.

But if I don't, it is very easy for you to check things out yourself and call me on it if you desire.

But don't imply that I am making stuff up or lying.

and since no charges were filed and no one claimed the jewelry was theirs,, its irrelevant to him being SHOT while walking home by an armed adult,,,

Jeannie, IM sorry that merely asking you a question makes you feel I am implying you are lying

I generally ask a question to be better informed,, doesn't hurt to have some information to better explain our claims when we make them

you said there was a law, I wanted to read it so I asked what it was

jeesh

I suppose if I doubted the news cast about there being a State Law I may have tried to look up the actual law, but looking up actual laws can be a little time consuming.

So I took it on faith that the news cast that there was a State Law was true. Next time I will try to find a link for you. I actually heard it on the Television, so I had no links at the time I posted that.

I thought it was interesting that there was such a law myself.

yes, I do too

I have never heard before of any other acquittals that were reimbursed,, but that doesn't mean they weren't happening all along

I think such a law is probably a good idea. It protects people from being unjustly prosecuted just to put money into the State Treasury. It would discourage States from charging people with crimes they know they can't prove just for the money or to harass someone they don't like.

or, it could be profiting people who are not found guilty but have committed crimes

kind of a flip side to persecuting innocents,,,rewarding the guilty

but, no system is perfect,, we can only work to make it our best....
