Capt. Zimmerman did not lie to the court.
The judge said Mr. Zimmerman had the responsibility to stop his wife, who testified at the hearing,from making false statements.
"Mr. Zimmerman can't sit back like a potted palm and let his wife testify falsely before the court when he knew well in advance of the hearing the amounts of money in controversy," said Judge Lester. "He can't sit back and obtain the benefit of a lower bond based upon those material falsehoods."
Under Florida's Rules of Criminal Procedure, a judge has discretion to revoke a defendant's bail if he finds there's good cause to do so. Lying to a court about one's finances apparently fits the bill.
