In a new twist, George Zimmerman’s bond has been revoked after Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester ruled that Zimmerman has at least 48 hours to turn himself into police.

STORY: Bond Revoked! George Zimmerman Has 48 Hours to Turn Himself In!

It was a crazy day in court, as the state and defense initially wanted to seal key pieces of evidence surrounding the Zimmerman case. But the Prosecution proved that Zimmerman and his wife, Shelly, lied about the monies donated to Zimmerman through a PayPal account.

Prosecutors contest that Zimmerman told his wife, Shelley Zimmerman about PayPal donations he was receiving while in jail and that she lied in the bond hearing about being aware of these funds.

But that’s not all; it was also revealed that Zimmerman had a second passport in addition to the one he surrendered to police after he was released on $150,000 bond. 

The prosecution went on to say that Zimmerman “intentionally deceived the court” with his wife and talked about monies received “in code to hide what they were doing.”

On the issue of Zimmerman’s passport, the prosecution said:

“Zimmerman surrendered had been reported lost or stolen. He didn’t turn over new, valid one.”

On the issue of the money Zimmerman received in donations, prosecutors contend:

“This court was led to believe that they didn’t have a single penny,” saying that Zimmerman called his wife from jail before the bond hearing and “repeatedly tells her about the money.”  

Lawyers for the state believe that Zimmerman’s wife is guilty of contempt of court for lying and are asking for Zimmerman’s bond be revoked, raised and for him to be sent back to jail.

Contempt of court usually results in a maximum of 6 months in jail.

The judge declared that Zimmerman’s wife had lied and decided to revoke Zimmerman’s bond. He has at least 48 hours to turn himself into police.

Lawyers on both sides were in a Sanford today deciding whether or not to release key pieces of evidence and make them public to the media. In the end, the judge ruled to issue an order on evidence in 30 days. And no new evidence was released today.
