Protestant or alt a segments -- major development in Trayvon Martin murder case and John Edwards beats the rap here now mr.

Rivera.

So the judge today revoked George -- is bond why did he do that.

Well first of all this is the biggest day in this case so far.

Because.

George Zimmerman and his -- -- been the belief of the court and certainly the prosecutor lied to the court.

About their financial wherewithal.

When bond was being set.

It jury called they came to the -- and they threw themselves on the mercy of the court essentially saying they were in -- they didn't have a panic.

When in fact they have this PayPal account from sympathetic donors.

Up to 200000 dollars in other words they had 200000.

Dollars.

It in cash available to them at the very same time they were telling the court.

And that I judge can -- -- that they were broken their for the bond that was being.

Set could not be very high -- -- one -- fifty -- the bond was 150 they had 200000.

They said they were in did you -- so -- -- -- to judge believes anyway.

That he was misled by George Zimmerman it's worse than that because there is apparently.

Either.

Audio and or video.

Recordings.

Of Jordan Zimmermann and his wife JL.

Conspiring.

To conceal the money in other words talking in code then -- -- on that -- -- -- a finally I got arts and obviously judge feels that that that is the kid so he reason why it's significant but I'm not sure the substantive.

Importance of it is there is only one witness to what happened between George Zimmerman and trade on Martin.

And that's Jordan Zimmerman -- Bob -- is dead one witness to the to the entire incident up to and including that the of the death of the about his credibility is now credibility is in front of the judge issue and now this judge season with the jury a little higher on the money with the jury won't know about it probably -- I'm not I'm not so certain I we have enjoyed -- defense attorney that's -- first question you're gonna ask.

And in just try to get somebody doesn't know about it McGinley yeah -- -- -- is I think it is something and another passport to that that Zimmerman didn't say he had as part of the conditions get ahead is to pass -- -- -- he handed over his passport but you know people often have a second passport.

-- you know there is a replacement passport.

Something else another the other -- he has another nobody had is that he has a second fast all right so he's not a good shape of the job he's he's gonna have his is but can be back in jail I'll probably by the time -- 48 hours to turn himself then -- -- a trial and then.

The trial is not sick but die in sickness and -- -- believes with fifty potential witnesses all of them have to be deposed and all this extensive discovery he does does not believe the -- -- happened before 2013 okay.

-- -- -- -- -- -- Well I'm not surprised in fact I think you know how we pundits love to predict these cases I must say that my colleagues here my him my legal colleagues here at fox were almost unanimous.

In believing that this -- the government's case against John -- was extremely weak why.

He is -- -- -- committed a campaign finance violation.

But the money that he committed the Clinton Campaign finance violation when it was money freely given to him by bunny Mellon and by the attorney effort down I think his name is here in Texas.

One point five million dollars.

But bunny Mellon the 101 year old heiress who gave him the money.

Testified that she was giving it to him that is the campaign come together should but does it get in fact -- paid.

Do you attack attacks on the money now is it right well.

You have to prove that John Edwards in his mind knew that he was going to use that money to -- campaign finance not to save his family from further -- you -- the verdict was correct I think that verdict was almost a slam -- and I can't believe that the prosecutors the same team that same discredited team that brought the case against Republican senator Ted Stevens brought this case and I think they did not doing well that they weren't even handed in very well attorney general -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- You did you I didn't use -- John Edwards self serving microphone nothing afterward.

And the reason -- -- uses I don't -- defend my offend my audience I don't think you audience anybody watching me likes this guy.

And his little self serving garbage I didn't I just in one here is a huge difference between someone who is reprehensible.

And I know that their personal -- when you saw I get out there and -- -- -- sins of my phone gives me an -- he gives me the and then you know let me get a read your house this is his pitches he's if he's Iraq.

I think he's right.

Yeah I think is -- in Iran in the sense that listen I have had a checkered life I'm the last person to point to someone and say you committed adultery you did this or that.

But I never did it with a dying wife and never did it knowing even -- -- is using her.

Heard her fatal illness to get sympathy and votes.

Even when he -- Geraldo Rivera has cut and I thought -- got off the car karma get a view it caught my karma will get on our.

-- from Iraq I think -- or.
