George Zimmerman's bond revoked by judge, 48 hours to surrender in Trayvon Martin killing

SANFORD, Fla. - A judge Friday revoked bond for George Zimmerman, and gave the neighborhood watch volunteer who killed Florida teen Trayvon Martin 48 hours to surrender.

Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester Jr. said that Zimmerman engaged in "material falsehood" about money in issuing his ruling.

About an hour before the ruling came, prosecutors in the second-degree murder case again Zimmerman had filed a new motion requesting the bond revocation.They contended Zimmerman's wife knew about the donations he had collected through a PayPal account, but didn't mention the money at his bond hearing.

Zimmerman's PayPal account collected more than $200,000, his attorney later revealed.

"Defendant has intentionally deceived the court with the assistance of his wife, Shelley Zimmerman. During the jail phone calls both of them spoke in code to hide what they were doing," the motion read.

The judge said Zimmerman had misled the court at his bond hearing.

The defense says the finances are an innocent misunderstanding.

Prosecutors also argued that Zimmerman has a second passport in addition to the one he surrendered....

It’s just a clerical error, like 0’s publisher’s pamphlet saying he was born in Kenya. Or that 0 never heard an anti American Jerimiah Wright sermon.

One is guilt the other’s get a pass.

And Angela Corey engaged in MULTIPLE "material falsehoods" in her press conference and subsequent indictment, including photos and EMS and police reports favorable to the defense. She should be the one in jail, or disbarred.

Perhaps he thought/knew that the donations were intended for his defense, and didn't think it was to be used for bail bond?

Glad it's baseball season and I won't have to listen to our local radio talking heads (John and Ken) gloating over this.

They have Zimmerman tried; convicted and executed already.

I don't understand this. An article from 4/27/12 reports the judge said Zimmerman could keep the $200,000 raised by supporters. Is this PayPal money over and above what he had at the time of his bond hearing? The PayPal account is mentioned in the article:

Zimmerman Can Keep Money

According to Mark O'Mara, Zimmerman's lawyer, $5,000 of the donor money was used to post Zimmerman's bond. It's doubtful that he didn't know/think he could use the money for his bond when he did just that.

If the facts are what the evidence indicates then GZ has moral carte blanche in resisting the government.

This is why it’s so important he win this via Stand Your Ground...that law precludes any further civil action, if I recall. (IANAL.) If he has to go to any kind of trial, even if he gets off because of standard self-defense, his life is effectively over because he will be sued into non-existence by the race hustlers.

To teach him and anybody else who would dare stand up to a ghetto punk a lesson.

it’s not surprising htese hypocritical LIARS are lettign hteir true stripes show- they simply can not help themselves- their father the3 devil is infact the father of lies as the following verses so aptly show. These people WILL murder Zimmerman IF they get the chance- and then tyurn around and scream bloody murder IF one of their future pet projects should get the death penalty claiming hte death penalty is unconstitutional- but by golly, when it comes to Zimmermaqn, why hten the death penalty is just fine in their minds-

These people are INCAPABLE of being consistant- they are so full of lies and hatred that they just can’t help lying and being hypocritical

John 8:44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

1Timothy 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Zimmerman is easily dark enough to cross at rush hour at numerous Mexican checkpoints where the Mexican Authorities only appear to stop vehicles.

In the 70's I crossed at Yuma w/o undergoing inspection and, appalled at the third-worldness, crossed back within the hour. (I was with, among others, a former "Palestinian" Christian who checked in with the US Customs guys on the way out to ease reentry.)

I think this is likely smoke & mirrors, for several reasons.

1) You are only required to declare current, not future or potential assets.

2) With the lesser bond, Zimmerman made no effort to flee, evade, or otherwise prejudice his bond. Thus a larger bond cannot be expected to make his behavior any better, just inhibit his ability to defend himself in court.

3) Nothing outside the publicity to the trial entices Zimmerman to leave, other than fear of attack from people agitated by the case. Thus arguments for “holding him for his own protection” are invalid, unless he solicits them.

Dude, have you been following the E. Warren case?

Know that Bob Dylan (Zimmerman) is Jewish? Guess that if he ran for Congress in Miami would be likely to get much of the Jewish vote based on his last name alone?

GZ was in jail at the time the paypal account was opened. Unless something has changed since I was in jail 15 years ago (stupid traffic ticket that went unpaid to long) he count not have opened the account.

That means the account was opened by someone else and used to collect funds “in his name”.

Goes GZ even have access to the account?

This is an Obama distraction.
