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....

Textbook case for someone seeking Political Asylum.

“But I think he knew on the day of his bond hearing that he had the money.”
That’s speculation on your part, isn’t it?

Speculation? Hardly.

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 had the money when he used part of it for his bond.

Zimmerman is obviously a Jewish, White Cracker.

I am of the opinion that this is exactly what started this mess. No, Zimmerman isn't Jewish, but I suspect that the race pimps and their media cohorts made that assumption and ran with it. Buckaroo Jooo murders black yoot, what a great way to stoke a race war against the trigger-happy Zionist entity. What, not Jewish? Well too late, off with his head for not letting trayvon beat it into the concrete.

"When asked about Crump's comments, criticizing his failure to earlier disclose the Internet gifts, O'Mara pointed out that the family also is accepting donations via a website. "Everyone is seeking donations in this case, including the Trayvon Martin family," O'Mara said. He noted that he set up a new website for his client, http://www.gzlegalcase.com. At today's hearing, Lester rejected the prosecution's request to raise Zimmerman's bond, as well as Angela Corey's request for a gag order on O'Mara. He said he would not hear arguments about a gag order and he praised both Corey's office and O'Mara for tamping down emotions in this case.

So Corey and the Trayvonistas want to be able to put their lies out there without anyone challenging them and they want to be free to raise money while denying the same to the other side. They're pathetic.

Can a spouse be compelled to take the stand either for of against a spouse?

Not “officially”, as a documented quid pro quo. But faced with the prospect of prison for him- or herself, a spouse can choose to be “cooperative”; and, the accused can confess to something to protect a spouse. Giving an arrestee a glimpse of the wife elsewhere in the jail, then implying wives and children were also to be charged unless..., was a classic OGPU/NKVD method to extract confessions.

That is not speculation. The phone calls between Zimmerman and his wife, the day before the bond hearing, showed they both knew about the money in the account. They discussed it. And the wife was asked about it on the day of the hearing. They said the brother in law was in charge of the acct.
