Martin attorney: Zimmerman should go back to jail (664 hits)

I knew that he was going to get money from the right ! i knew it !!
The Trayvon Martin family attorney says George Zimmerman should be back in jail because he failed to tell a judge he had $200,000 during a recent bond hearing.
"They tried to portray themselves as indigent that they did not have any money," said Benjamin Crump, a lawyer for Martin's family. "We think the court should revoke his bond immediately. And he should held accountable for misleading the court
Zimmerman, who is charged with second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of unarmed 17-year-old Martin, has been given about $204,000 from supporters his lawyer Mark O'Mara said Thursday.
The donations Zimmerman received will be discussed at a court hearing Friday morning in Florida, O'Mara said.
O'Mara told CNN's "AC360" that Zimmerman told him Wednesday of the donations as they were trying to shut down his Internet presence to avoid concerns about possible impersonators and problems with his Twitter and Facebook accounts.
"He asked me what to do with his PayPal accounts, and I asked him what he was talking about," O'Mara told Anderson Cooper. "He said those were the accounts that had the money from the website he had. And there was about ... $204,000 that had come in to date."
O'Mara had said earlier this month that he believed Zimmerman had no money. "I think he's indigent for costs," he said, adding that Zimmerman's relatives had few assets.
Zimmerman, 28, was released Monday on $150,000 bail, 10% of which his family put up to secure his release. He is accused in the February 26 death of Martin, who was African-American.
