Judge revokes Zimmerman's bond
Seminole County Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester Jr. ordered Zimmerman to surrender to the county sheriff within 48 hours.
Lester accused Zimmerman of having misrepresented how much money he had when his bond was originally set in April. Prosecutors say he had $135,000 at the time Zimmerman's wife, Shellie, told the court, under oath, that they were indigent.
Lester appeared angry that the court had not been told about the money. "Does your client get to sit there like a potted palm and let you lead me down the primrose path?" he asked Zimmerman's lawyer. "That's the issue."
Something like that apparently. Some of us think George Zimmerman has been lying about the night that he shot Trayvon Martin.
There is also some fishy smell to the story about George Zimmerman's passport as well. Near as I can tell the story goes something like this....
Back in 2004, George Zimmerman can't find his passport. So he reports it stolen, and gets another one. Sometime between now and then, he finds it, so he has two passports. One of the passports expires in May of this year, and the other expires in 2014.
At George Zimmerman's bond hearing, he is ordered to turn in his passport, so he gives the one that expires in May of this year.
Then while he is in jail, he is recorded over the phone with his wife talking about another passport:
Zimmerman spoke of the second passport while in the Seminole County Jail in a phone call to his wife that authorities recorded, Corey said. Court records provided a partial transcript:
Zimmerman: "Do you know what? I think my passport is in that bag."
Shelly (sic) Zimmerman: "I have one for you in safety deposit box ..."
Zimmerman: "OK, you hold onto that."
Hold on to it for what exactly?
Anyways, George Zimmerman's lawyer claims that he's had the second passport all along, "but simply forgot to hand it over to authorities until Friday."
Who the fuck buys that story?
Anyway, there is more over at the link about how much more evidence should be released to the media and so forth that is of interest to those following this story, so go click on the link at the top if you are curious about such things.
