George Zimmerman bond revoked
George Zimmerman, the man charged with the murder of Trayvon Martin, has two days to report to jail.
Kenneth R. Lester Jr., a Florida judge, revoked Zimmerman's bond after prosecutors claimed that Zimmerman and his wife lied about their finances.
During a bond hearing in April, Zimmerman's wife claimed they had limited funds.
Later, prosecutors discovered that Zimmerman's donation website earned $135,000 at the time of the hearing.
"This court was led to believe they didn't have a single penny," said prosecutor Bernie De la Rionda. "It was misleading and I don't know what words to use other than it was a blatant lie."
In April, Zimmerman was charged with second degree murder for the death of Trayvon Martin. His trial is not expected to begin until sometime next year.
