George Zimmerman charges

On Thursday, Seminole County Circuit Court Judge Kenneth R. Lester, Jr. ordered Zimmerman’s bond raised to $1 million in light of revelations Zimmerman and his wife, Shellie Zimmerman, had misled the court about their finances during an April 20 bond hearing.

Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the Feb. 26 shooting death of Trayvon Martin, 17, inside a gated community in Sanford.

Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, pleaded not guilty and told police he acted in self-defense after Martin punched him and knocked his head against the pavement.

“He’s very happy to be out,” West said, the Associated Press.
