Judge Revokes George Zimmerman's Bail; Gives Him 48 Hours To Surrender Himself; Says Zimmerman Failed To Disclose Website's Defense Fund In Financial Statement
Update: "Coded" Conversations Recorded on Prison Phones

Zimmerman apparently said his family had little to no resources.

The prosecutor has asked the judge to revoke parole over the non-disclosure of the website's $200,000. The judge agreed.

Two points though:

This is a sandbag move by the prosecutor because they knew about the website. How could they not? The man they think is a 2nd degree murderer was soliciting donations before they arrested him.

Further, this is charity, and cannot be relied upon as income.

Zimmerman should have mentioned this -- but the prosecutor, who knew all about it, should have asked about it.

To say nothing at the bail hearing and then raise this issue later... seems like a deliberate sandbag move for a prosecutor who is over-invested in the proposition that George Zimmerman should be in jail.

Breaking on Fox News.

Argument: A woman on Fox is saying this should not be counted as Zimmerman's funds for bail, as it has a specific purpose: Paying attorneys to defend him.

More: Bob Owens has a detailed report.

[Zimmerman] and his wife lied about the money they had at their disposal prior to the bond hearing. Furthermore, they had their poorly coded conversation about the money recorded via the prison phone system.

Owens thinks Zimmerman has demolished his credibility for almost no reason at all.
