"The court was led to believe that they didn't have a single penny," said prosecutor Bernie De La Rionda. "If this [the money] wasn't relevant to bond then why did they lie about it? I don't know what other words to use besides that it was a blatant lie."


"In recordings of conversations released today during a court hearing, Zimmerman and his wife cryptically talk about his second passport in a safety deposit box they shared"

George Zimmerman Bond Revoked.

In a shocking turn, Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester has revoked George Zimmerman's bond in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman now has 48 hours to turn himself in to authorities.

The decision came after the revelation that Zimmerman and his wife may have conspired to lie about thousands of dollars in donations they'd collected before his bond hearing.

SANFORD, Fla. -- A judge on Friday revoked the bond of the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin and ordered him returned to jail within 48 hours.

Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester said that George Zimmerman and his wife, Shellie, misled the court about how much money they had available when his bond was set for $150,000 in April. Prosecutors claim Zimmerman had $135,000 available that had been raised by a website he set up.

Zimmerman's wife testified at the bond hearing that they had limited funds available since she was a nursing student and Zimmerman wasn't working.

"He can't sit back and obtain the benefit of a lower bond based upon those material falsehoods," Lester said.

CORRECTS Judge Revokes Zimmerman's Bond in Trayvon Martin Killing; 48 Hours to Surrender
(Corrects previous APNewsAlert that he had 72 hours to surrender)

George Zimmerman was ordered back to jail on Friday for misleading the court at his bond hearing about his finances.

Seminole County Circuit Court Judge Kenneth Lester revoked the bail for Zimmerman &#8212; who is facing a second-degree murder charge in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin of Miami Gardens &#8212; after finding that Zimmerman and his wife concealed their access to a $200,000 account during a bail hearing in April.

Here is the state's motion to revoke bond filed today: http://media.miamiherald.com/smedia/2012/06/01/17/03/n0VDl.So.56.pdf

"According to the conditions of Zimmerman's release, he was to be monitored by GPS and surrender his passport.

During Friday's motion hearing, prosecutors said that Zimmerman also failed to disclose or turn over a second passport in his possession. According to the motion, Zimmerman acquired a second passport in 2004 after filing a claim with the State Department that his original passport was lost or stolen.

But, according to prosecutors, while Zimmerman was in custody at the Seminole County jail on April 17, he had a conversation with his wife in which the couple discussed the second passport. The conversation was recorded by jail officials:

Defendant: Do you know what? I think my passport is in that bag.

Shelly Zimmerman: I have one for you in safety deposit box...

Defendant: Ok, you hold on to that."

The judge also ruled Friday to publicly release more documents related to the case. The prosecutor&#8217;s office has tried to keep key evidence, including statements Zimmerman gave police and cellphone records for Zimmerman and Martin, sealed.

Zimmerman back to jail; judge says he lied

http://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/zimmerman-back-to-jail-1450432.html

.........Prosecutor Bernie De la Rionda complained Friday, "This court was led to believe they didn’t have a single penny. It was misleading and I don’t know what words to use other than it was a blatant lie." The judge agreed and ordered Zimmerman returned to jail by Sunday afternoon.
-------

The judge questioning Zimmerman’s truthfulness could undermine the defendant’s credibility if it is brought up at trial, which could happen, and may complicate how his defense presents him as a witness, said Orlando-area attorney Randy McCLean, who is a former prosecutor.........The judge said he would schedule a hearing after Zimmerman is back in custody so he could explain himself.
-------

Lester said he would order the release of the documents once he has reviewed them and redacted items that aren't subject to disclosure under the state's public records law.

George Zimmerman Was Busted by Recorded Phone Calls

It's going to be pretty difficult for Zimmerman's attorney to argue he's not a flight risk now. Zimmerman has yet to turn himself in, and has an active passport.
