Yesterday, Seminole County judge Kenneth Lester Jr. granted bail to George Zimmerman in the amount of $1 million.
Today, Zimmerman’s legal team, which includes attorney Mark O’Mara, took to their personal site to discuss what the next steps for them will be.
DETAILS: Judge Rules On George Zimmerman Bond Hearing
They write:
The legal defense team has been working to satisfy George Zimmerman’s bond and secure his release. We are confident that Mr. Zimmerman will be released soon, although the exact time will not be revealed out of respect for the security concerns surrounding his release.
As the terms of Mr. Zimmerman’s bond state that he must remain within Seminole County, Mr. Zimmerman’s security team has established a safe house where he can stay until a more permanent secure location can be established.
Since the $1,000,000 bond was made public on July 5, supporters have donated approximately $20,000. In the two months prior to the Court’s Order Setting Bail, the George Zimmerman Defense Fund had received approximately $55,000.
Once Mr. Zimmerman’s release has been secured we will change our focus from securing bond to the defense of the charges against him.
