I don't think I understand your question. Let me try again.
George cannot take pay-pal donations under false pretenses. Saying he has a "defense fund" doesn't mean whatever George wants it to mean. It's a type of contract between himself and whoever gives the money that it's used for legitimate purposes.
Light bill, water bill, food at home for family, court fees, legal pads - Legitimate.
Airline tickets out of state? Not legit.
Food on the run? Not legit.
See what I mean? He can't just take money and run and call it "defense" when he doesn't even acknowledge his defense attorneys, it seems to me.
These guys set up a fund with George's father's name on it. Why? Because let's be realisitic ~ George may be going to jail.
I think they didn't put his wife's name on the account because they may all ready be having money troubles and they don't want it seized. OR, the father is just a control freak - who knows?
Bottom line - attorneys cannot set up bank accounts and take donations and not itemize where the money is going. That is not legal in any way, and it's unethical.
This prosecutor probably wants to charge with him something - manslaughter most likely.
But if he isn't in state, he can't be charged.
So I think this 72 hour thing means that she is giving him 72 hours to get back to Florida and be ready to turn himself in to authorities.
If George doesn't return to Florida, he cannot charged, right?
And if he cannot be charged and isn't talking to attorneys, then there is no "defense" going on. That was the point of the press conference today. He is gone, and his lawyers can't reach him. They can't defend him and they can't guarantee he will cooperate with authorities, so they cut off ties with him.
If people give him money for "defense" that means to pay his attorneys and for living expenses for his family. That's my understanding at least.
If George then takes that money and goes to another state or to Canada or Peru or wherever, then the money is being used to aid and abet a fugitive.
JMOO :cow: :moo:
