Actually, Corky, I'd translate "a lot of respect for Tony" as Jimbo was
terrified of him. The thought that he would have to answer those 100
questions that Tony had put together exposing the lies and deception
that Jim excells in was a horrifying thought to JC...

"shocked" probably was merely another way of saying surprised (and
elated that his enemy was no longer here)...

I choose "not", given that Tony brought Zoomie to court several times,
and the court found in his (Tony's) favor.
