SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — A judge has 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 Friday that George Zimmerman misled the court about how much money he 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.
Prosecutors also say he failed to surrender a second passport.
The defense says the finances are an innocent misunderstanding.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and is claiming self-defense.

This poor SOB is going to be a sacrificial lamb. He has absolutely no chance of a fair trial.

seems like MRKIA has already convicted him of murder!! I guess you think people should just sit back, and cowar when they see a hoodie wearing thug. alot of people are getting sick and tired of being the victims of these idiots. your probably gonna see more "super-heros" in the news, and I for one would gladly make that "sacrifice" if it meant my life. get use to it, we're all sick of this "Gangster" mentality!!!

Zimmerman will be found not guilty just like Casey Anthony. Then the lawsuits will abound. Rainbow Coalition, NBC news for starters. Zimmerman was entering his car when slammed from behind. And Florida has that self defense law. Open and shut. Trayvon assaulted the wrong person.
