Dershowitz isn't stupid, but his enormous ego paired with a tendency to attack, even while being wrong (and I believe he even knows when he is wrong), makes watching him intellectually boring. He is like a Christopher Hitchens on steroids, but at least Hitch had charme. But if you're into blood sports, dog fights and such, and have the same opinion as Dershowitz, you'll have a great time...
Who can access those defence funds?
With a trust account, the trustee usually has sole access to the account, and will disburse funds to the intended recipients when certain conditions are met. I would guess that the funds will be used to compensate Zimmerman's legal team at some point.
"The funds are being administered by a third-party administrator, who has a background of being a former IRS agent, a Certified Public Accountant, and great experience in dealing with Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee matters."

-Pretty much tells me that She cant access the funds nor can George without the say so of this third party. So how its counted as Income towards finances for setting bail?
Yep, that would be the trustee.
----------At the time of the bail hearing, the funds raised on the website were being put into in a joint account held by both Zimmerman and his wife. They had full access to those funds. The Zimmermans told their lawyers about the website funds (none of which they had spent) five days after the bail hearing. Their attorneys then notified the court about the funds and placed the website funds raised into a trust account.-Pretty much tells me that She cant access the funds nor can George without the say so of this third party.

George Zimmerman jailhouse calls show he told wife to buy bulletproof vest

Jesus, they are taping and making public Zimmerman's calls to his wife from jail?
I think they tape all calls don't they? There's even a disclaimer. But no, they should not be made public. The guy hasn't even been tried....
If some nut does decide to go after Zimmerman's family and/or attorney, now he knows to go for the headshot.
WTF are you talking about?
Because of threats to Zimmermanns wife he advised her to buy a Body Armor Vest for protection.

Jesus, they are taping and making public Zimmerman's calls to his wife from jail?Depends on the jail. Some do (the bigger counties almost all do) but the system can be expensive both to install & maintain.
Not sure why they would release them or under what circumstances (FOIA/Sunshine Act for instance).

Zimmerman's attorney released tapes of interviews while Zimmerman was in custody. According to Zimmerman, Martin was on top of him, slamming his head into a curb; Martin apparently spotted Zimmerman's handgun, stated "you're going to die tonight," and then Zimmerman drew it and fired.
haha that was awesome.
