John was an example of a poor country lad coming over to America and being a wonderful success. He numbered many including our own Gerry Adams among his friends. Poor John, Krista and their kids had to endure much abuse from Zimmerman who didn't "take kindly" to upstarts and men like John who treated all the same and paid with his life for standing up for himself.
A good lawyer would have gotten Zimmerman off. If a crazy Irishman comes after me with a tractor, I'm going to shoot him, too.
Zimmerman’s, Amador County Public Defender, Richard Cotta said he believes that his client could receive 15 years to life for his crimes. He will be sentenced on November 29 at 2pm and will be held without bail until that time.............. WOW, in Ireland the guilty party would dance out of the court room on the assurance that he or she would be good and return for the sentencing in a couple of months. 2nd degree murder (manslaughter in Ireland) generally receives an 8-year custodial sentence with the last 3 years suspended. Check it out if you don't believe me.
