Judge Sets Zimmerman Bail Low at $1 Million
Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester has decided to give George Zimmerman, the Sanford, FL neighborhood watchman who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, a second chance at freedom. The judge set Zimmerman’s bail at $1 million.
At the time of setting the bail at $1 million, the judge stated that George Zimmerman had “manipulated” the courts by not being honest about the amount of money he had access to. He stated that Zimmerman may have had plans to jump bail with the $130 000 dollars he had from donations that were received at his personal website.
“This increased bail is not a punishment,” Lester wrote. “It is meant to allay this court’s concern that the defendant intended to flee the jurisdiction and a lesser amount would not ensure his presence in court.”
Zimmerman’s bail was revoked in June after the state prosecutor charged that Zimmerman and his wife had been dishonest about the amount of money they had access to in order to get a lower bond.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder for shooting and killing 17 year old Trayvon Martin. After shooting the teenager, Zimmerman claimed that he had shot unarmed Martin in self defense.
As a condition of the bond, Zimmerman must, among other things, remain in Seminole County and can not leave with out permission. He must use an electronic monitoring device and is not allowed to go to Orlando-Sanford International Airport.

I hate to think this monster will only get, time served and probation after all is said and done. He is a walking talking liar and anything that comes out his mouth should always be taken with a grain of salt.
I only hope that those that feel that this monster should be supported hate their kids. Cause if they don’t then it explains why they have no heart, but if they love their children as they should, they better pray that they never fall victim as Trayvon did!!! To Trayvon’s parents I continue to Pray for you & Pray that he get what he deserves. If you question that read the Old Testament. God explains how people like zimmer should be dealt with.
You know we should take a page out of this sitution and going forward, any black person incarcerated and the nation places a spotlight on that individual set up a paypal fund for their defense. All the money this boy is getting buys him the best attorney. And our AA brothers and sisters always get legalaide, sometimes the worst attorney because their fresh out of law school and have no experience.
