According to Michelle Kennedy of Seminole County Court administration, Lester worked on the decision over the July 4th holiday and was finishing up his written decision Thursday morning.
Zimmerman’s bail was revoked last month after Lester learned Zimmerman and his wife had failed to disclose more than $150,000 in donations from the public.
Zimmerman, who says he shot unarmed teen Trayvon Martin in self-defense, could stay in jail until his eventual trial or could be released Thursday if he is granted bond.
Defense attorney Mark O’Mara argued last week that even though Zimmerman misled the court about his finances, he should not be jailed because the state’s case is weak and his claim of self-defense is strong.
The case continues as we wait to find out the fate of George Zimmerman.
