this is just disgusting.        Attorneys say that part of the case would likely be a newsletter sent by the association to residents in February, which is the same month as the shooting that said Zimmerman was the go-to person for residents who had been the victim of a crime. Under the heading Neighborhood Watch, the newsletter's message recommended that residents first call police and then please contact our Captain, George Zimmerman ... so he can be aware and help address the issue with other residents. That seeming endorsement of Zimmerman exposes the 7-year-old association to possible legal action by Martin's parents, homeowners association attorneys said. It's almost like if you give your son the keys to a brand new Corvette when he turns 16, and he gets in an accident, said Roberto Blanch, a South Florida attorney who specializes in homeowners associations. You may be seen as enabling the occurrence or the loss. By designating Zimmerman the neighborhood watch captain in the newsletter, the homeowners association is stuck if it's sued, said Justin Clark, an attorney based in Longwood, Fla., whose practice includes real estate law.   they're obviously going to try and use this in the upcoming trial. Oh the home owners association paid us a settlement, so that confirms his guilt!. How the hell does the homeowners association have anything to do with a neighborhood watch newsletter? seems like they're just caving because they don't want a bad image from not paying out to the 'victims' family.     And what happens if zimmerman is found innocent? that would mean they never deserved the money in the first place. will they pay it back? probably not. I do hope the HOA's lawyers put in a clause that if zimmerman is found innocent, they must pay that money back. although I'm sure by then, the money would be gone, and when HOA tries to get their money back, the martins will go on TV saying they're trying to rob me, poor me boo hoo! how could they do this to me after what happened to my son!    so NBC says to hold zimmermans suit against them until after the trial, while the martins can sue the home owners association before trial has even begun? what a ****ing world we live in. a world where the criminals get compensation and the defenders get disparaged. reminds me of that movie liar liar where they talk about a burglar that falls through the roof of a home he was robbing and sues for getting hurt.    he hasn't even been proven ****ing guilty, trial hasn't even begun, and they're getting payouts?! WTF. Seems like they're trying to create this whole atmosphere where everyone thinks he's guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. After the HOA's payout, zimmermans lawyers should sue for a mistrial and acquittal because that 100% proves that it will be impossible for zimmerman to get a fair jury trial with things like the HOA paying out before the trial even begins, which gives illusions of his guilt.     hell, zimmerman might be able to sue the HOA too, because by paying out before a trial or verdict, they're effectively implying he's guilty in a very public way.    WHERE IS THE REAL JUSTICE? the only real justice we should be seeing is for zimmerman to be acquitted, an apology from the court, and successful payout lawsuits against NBC, the justice department, the martins, benjamin crump, the NAACP, and the HOA. Prosecutor corey and all her cohorts would be in federal prison, and the martin family would be shunned by society wherever they showed their faces. then, and only then, will the world be right again.    I guess now we know the baseline worth of a worthless thug negro these days.....1 million dollars. and we wonder why this country is in debt? hell, trayvon probably wouldn't have even made that much money combined in his entire life.
