Former neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who is charged with second-degree murder in the killing of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin, was released on Friday from a Florida jail on $1 million bail, a sheriff's spokeswoman said... It was not immediately clear how the Zimmermans came up with the bond money.

George Zimmerman, who is charged with second-degree murder in the killing of Trayvon Martin, was chastised by a judge as “flaunting the system.”

A Florida judge will decide whether to set a second bond for the neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot Trayvon Martin.

A judge on Friday revoked the bond of the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with murdering Trayvon Martin and ordered him returned to jail within 48 hours, saying George Zimmerman and his wife misled the court about how much money they had available when his bond was set at $150,000.
