I don't trust your grapevine ramsey, but somebody's donating.
The Zimmerman Defense Fund raised another $20k yesterday, bringing the total raked in to $32k in the 48 hours since O'Mara last solicited the public.
Altogether, since the shooting, Zimmerman's raised $350k via public donations to his defense fund. It astounds me.
If anyone's interested, here's how the money's been spent:

Thanks for the link HOTD. This is the one expense that made me giggle.
PayPal and Fund Management Fees -- $7,924.22
PayPal takes a fee for every online payment the Defense Fund receives, and the independent fund manager bills monthly for their services.
Edited to add ... I dont really understand the PP fee. I say that because often when making online person to person gun sales we cut PP out of the equasion by sending the $ as a gift. PP does not take a cut in those transactions. [and before anyone asks, YES the firearms are sent through the mail but they are sent to a FFL and ALL paperwork and BG checks are done]
