FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The bond was granted by Judge Kenneth R. Lester on Thursday even though Zimmerman had misled the court about his finances in an initial bond hearing.
Last month Judge Lester had revoked a $150,000 bail, which was very low for the murder charge. He ordered Zimmerman back to jail after it was revealed that he and his wife had lied about their personal finances back in the initial bond hearing on April 20.
This is while, prosecutors said that a website Zimmerman created for his legal defense had raised $135,000 by the time of the initial hearing. The couple had not mentioned the money, claiming they had limited finances.
“The defendant has tried to manipulate the system when he has been presented the opportunity to do so,” the judge said in the ruling.
The judge also wrote that Zimmerman wanted to mislead his own lawyer, as he did not disclose the existence of a second passport in a safe-deposit box. Judge Lester then included new conditions, saying Zimmerman should remain in Seminole County, Florida but stay away from Orlando international airport.
“This court finds that circumstances indicate that the defendant was preparing to flee to avoid prosecution, but such plans were thwarted,” Judge Lester wrote.
Zimmerman shot to death Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida on February 26, in what he described as self-defense.
Police initially declined to arrest Zimmerman, citing Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, until public anger led to a probe by a special state prosecutor. He was then arrested on April 11 and charged with second-degree murder.
The incident stirred nation-wide protests across the US and led to a heated debate over racial discrimination with social experts regarding racial prejudice as a major factor in Zimmerman’s claim that Martin looked “suspicious,” and police refusal to arrest the shooter.
