George Zimmerman's bond revoked; must surrender in 48 hours

SANFORD, Fla. (KABC) -- A judge has revoked George Zimmerman's bail, giving the Florida neighborhood watch volunteer 48 hours to surrender.

The judge's move comes after prosecutors filed a motion requesting to revoke his bond on Friday, saying Zimmerman misled the court about his finances and his possession of a second passport, which he acquired two weeks after he shot unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin during an altercation.

In recordings of conversations also released Friday, Zimmerman and his wife are heard talking cryptically about his second passport in a safety deposit box they shared. The two speak in code in the recording.

Zimmerman's original passport was due to expire in May. He applied for a second passport, claiming the first one was lost or stolen.

In the motion, prosecutors also point out that Zimmerman had $135,000 in his bank account the day before his bail hearing, in which he declared himself financially indigent.

I don’t know how to put this in breaking news, but it is breaking.

Of course they are speaking in code and using cryptic language, they both know he is going to hang over this.

Why would he get a second passport? Think he may be concerned about being railroads?

Obviously not a very good code if the mental midgets in the prosecutors office could decipher it. It was probably something like "Nixa on the passporta in the bankboxa"

If I had the DNCmedia trying to lynch me I would also have a backup getaway plan.

The dems and little Napolean RINOs want this guy so bad it is making their teeth ache.

He is going to be exonerated if a jury gets to even-handidly and safely review the evidence. It is overwhelmingly clear at this point that Zimmerman was defending himself.

If they allow the Jury to be threatened (which the New Black Panthers are sure to do), or if they give instructions that either disallow evidence or cause them to ignore the basic facts...then you never know.

As to the bond...if indeed he lied to the court, that would be grounds to revoke it. Saying that he and his wife were speaking in “code” is kind of thin grounds though, IMHO.

Zimmerman needs to go ahead and use that second passport. If he hasn’t already used it. I would certainly leave the country. He’d better wake up and realize there are too many cowards in this country and they’re afraid not to convict him.

Why was he under surveillance in the first place? I’d use that second passport in his place.

It was probably a call from the jail before he was bailed out.

That's the 64 thousand dollar question. Sounds like illegal wiretapping to me. Or Crump is lying again. GZ isn't going to get out of this. It has had set up on it from the minute Jesse, Al and Hussein jumped in. I'd have exit plans in the works and the means to leave within a moment's notice.

It wasn't revoked for speaking in code. It was revoked because he lied about his finances, and because he had a second passport (it is a standard condiction of bail that you turn over your passport; if he secretly had a second one, it is evidence of an intent to flee).
