ORLANDO, Fla. In half a dozen phone calls between a locked-up George Zimmerman and his wife, the couple talked about their love for each other, their confidence in the future and how to move money around, recordings released Monday revealed.
Prosecutors said the six phone calls proved that Shellie Zimmerman had lied when she told a judge that the couple were broke.
In the recordings, Zimmerman apparently gave his wife step-by-step instructions on how to change a password and clear security questions so that she could move money from one account to others, gave her orders to withdraw specific amounts of money and directed her to pay the bills.
Prosecutors said the couple were moving money out of a PayPal online account that was being flooded with donations for Zimmerman, who's charged with second-degree murder in the slaying of Trayvon Martin, 17.
However, the couple spoke in code, prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda said. In the calls, Zimmerman made repeated references to "Peter Pan," an apparent reference to PayPal. And neither he nor his wife ever referred to $100,000 or more, talking instead about amounts totaling 10 and 20. Prosecutors said those were abbreviations for $10,000 and $20,000. more at link:
