So far it looks to be costing Sanford, Fl. about $603,000 ... take a bow Zimmy, you're getting your moneys worth ... George Zimmerman Trial Costs The City Of Sanford $600,000 http://globalgrind.com/news/george-zimmerman-trayon-martin-trial-costs-city-sanford-600000-details New reports show that the trial to determine if Zimmerman shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in self-defense has run the city of Sanford, Fl., over $600,000. Actually, $603,000 to be exact. City Hall reports that the bulk of that total was paid to employees for regular and overtime work. Half of the $398,000 allocated for those workers went to police officers investigating the case. But there were some other surprising expenses. The city spent the rest of the money on legal advice and guidance on what to do with hundreds of public-records requests. Sanford also bought video and audio equipment and portable toilets for protesters. The rest of the funds were spent on consulting fees for two headhunter companies who were hired to scout a new police chief. The money, totaled through Feb. 19, has come from city reserves and meant no cutbacks in city services, said City Manager Norton Bonaparte Jr. The Orlando Sentinel got a hold of the Sanford city records to show a breakdown of how much the trial has run the city. The trial obviously has not been cheap, but we hope that it's all worth it in the end. Zimmerman will stand trial on June 10, 2013.
Ridiculous, even for you. It wasn't Zimmerman who SOUGHT THE "SHOW TRIAL", was it? Congradulations, "TRAYVONITES", you've blown a BUNDLE on a PURELY POLIITCAL PROSECUTION....
If he lost he would be going to prison for life , highly doubt they would get money in that scenario . If he walks they eat it . So either way not likely .
This really isn't news, more like trivia. Here in California, Lindsay Lohan is set to go on trial tomorrow and that perpetually stoned mess has cost the judicial system who knows how many millions. I am not in the least surprised that the Zim thing is a monetary sinkhole.
Racial hoaxes are expensive. The money was spent on the idiot protestors who fell for the false narrative. You would think after the Duke Lacrosse fiasco the race baiters would have learned. I guess this crap will continue until people like Al Sharpton are put behind bars for their race baiting.
Nope. T's parents would have to sell the rights to the city. You do know they've got the 'rights' to Trayvon Martin and his 'likeness' . No ash trays. Not 'T's' of 'T'. No hoodies. No nothing can be produced/sold unless 'T's parent get a piece of the action. They have to make a buck out of this somehow right? That chinese Halloween rubber mask company had to pay big time for the rights to make a 'T' mask with the gold grille and when you pull a string the mouth moves and out comes a deep voice: "I'm a NO-LIMIT-*****"
Being that it is the STATE of Florida that is the opponent of George Zimmerman, wouldn't it be the state's money being spent ?
