re: #61 Targetpractice
I am serious, having listened to the calls myself, I’m of the opinion that Zimmerman didn’t trust O’Mara enough to let him have access to the account. It’s not as thought the existence of the account was a secret, just the contents of it.
He trusts the man to defend him against a charge that will put him away for life if he’s convicted, but doesn’t trust the lawyer with knowing about his money? That’s quite foolish.
Question for anyone who knows: If O’Mara had become aware Zimmerman had lied in certifying himself as indigent, would he have been obligated to report it? I’m thinking here of ethics rules forbidding lawyers to aid in a filing they know to be dishonest.
