Bummer of a birth mark<\/span><\/div>\n

George Zimmerman’s bail has been revoked because the judge has determined that he lied about his finances at the bail hearing<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A Florida judge on Friday revoked the bond of George Zimmerman, who has been charged with second-degree murder in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, after state prosecutors argued that Mr. Zimmerman, with the help of his wife, had misled the court about his finances.<\/p>\n

During an afternoon hearing in Sanford, Fla., a Seminole County Circuit Court judge, Kenneth R. Lester Jr., ordered Mr. Zimmerman, 28, a former neighborhood watch volunteer who himself aspired to be a judge, to surrender to authorities within 48 hours.<\/p>\n

Judge Lester made his ruling shortly after an assistant state attorney, Bernardo de la Rionda, asserted that Mr. Zimmerman and his wife, Shellie, during a bail hearing on April 20, had \u201clied\u201d and \u201cwere very deceptive\u201d about assets available to them. That hearing cleared the way for Mr. Zimmerman\u2019s release from jail on $150,000 bond. He had to put up 10 percent, or $15,000, to make bail.<\/p>\n

The judge determined that Mr. Zimmerman, who has been in hiding because of concerns about his safety, had engaged in \u201cmaterial falsehoods.\u201d At issue is the roughly $200,000 Mr. Zimmerman raised through a legal defense Web site, money that Mr. Zimmerman\u2019s lawyer, Mark M. O\u2019Mara, said he learned of several days after the bond hearing. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, now in addition to going back to jail, the judge has just called him a liar.<\/p>\n

His defense team has to be throwing a fit right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
