(CNN) -- George Zimmerman's wife was arrested Tuesday afternoon for allegedly lying at his bond hearing about the couple's finances.

Shellie N. Zimmerman, 25, faces a perjury charge, according to Jackie Barnard, spokeswoman for the State Attorney's office for the Fourth Judicial District of Florida.

Shellie Zimmernan will be arraigned July 31, according to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office. She met conditions for a $1,000 bond and was released Tuesday afternoon.

Here it is:

Note that it only includes a partial transcript. The exculpatory parts of the transcript are left off of the affidavit, just like the exculpatory evidence against GZ was left off of his affidavit. Am I seeing a pattern here????

Did I read it right?

Transactions of $9990 (4 times), $9999 (twice), and $9000 (twice) were transferred from George’s account into Shellie’s credit union account. More than $74,000 - all under that $10,000 amount that gets flagged.

She kept many thousands of dollars of walking-around money in her pocket.

George Zimmerman’s sister is involved too. She was at the credit union with Shellie and got more than $47,000.

George wanted the money transferred into gift cards.

George instructed Shellie to pay-off all their bills, including the American Express credit card and Sam’s Club accounts.

After he was released, she transferred money back into George’s accounts. Is he a control freak that he doesn’t even trust his own wife?

My understanding is that it WASN’T a bail hearing, which is why the questions caught Shellie by surprise, before they had even spoken with their lawyer about how the website money worked.

Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds like Angela Corey heard the tapes of them talking in code about the money and sprung the bond questions on Shellie at an unrelated hearing that George wasn’t even at - knowing they hadn’t figured out with their lawyer how the money was going to work.

Sounds a bit like entrapment to me. Due process rights violated, I would think.

And of course, Angela Corey deliberately taking out the line (in the transcript for her motion) where Shelley offered to call somebody who would know the exact amount.

Just as a theoretical question, I wonder what would happen if a bunch of people joined together to collect funds for a $10,000 bounty on Judge Lester’s head, Angela Corey’s head, and Eric Holder’s head. Made it really public, and large groups protested in the streets holding signs calling for those heads dead or alive.

Think anybody in law enforcement would do anything about it? Think there would be calls for “civility”, like after the Gabby Giffords and Judge John Roll assassination?

Holder lied about federal crimes that constitute acts of war against Mexico.

No biggie, I guess. /s

I hope the Hispanics think long and hard about Holder conducting guerilla warfare on Mexico.

The bail hearing was on Friday, April 20th. George was in the courtroom, Shellie was on the phone. All the money transfers/transactions happened earlier that week.

What strikes me here is the double standard. According to Dershowitz, who seems to know what he is talking about, Corey held back much more germane information when she submitted evidence for second degree murder charge, even though she swore to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Corey can lie when presenting the case for prosecution by keeping germane evidence from the judge, and nothing happens.

Mrs. Zimmerman says she does not know exactly how much money was received, but that she can find out, and she is charged with perjury, even after they give the judge the correct figures a few days later.

It sounds like the essence of tyranny to me.

“You have to wonder when Zimmerman’s father (the judge) is going to start speaking out about what the hell is happening and/or when he is going to start stepping in and providing legal advice and making counter lawsuits.”

George's dad is a retired, low-level magistrate from Virgina, not a full-blown trial judge.

He [George's dad] may have already stepped in via Dersowitz. He is Jewish and they stick together.

The Zimmermans are Catholic, not Jewish.

Yes, you are mistaken. Shellie's testimony about the PayPal account was at George's first bail hearing on April 20th here

When Shellie was asked about the PayPal account, she referred the judge and prosecutor to her brother-in-law to get the total. Neither took her up on the offer.

Subsequent to that hearing, there was another hearing on 4/27 in which O'Mara disclosed the approximate total and told the judge that the money had been transferred into a trust. At that hearing, Judge Lester said that he didn't know if he could tap the PayPal money for bail. If even the judge didn't know, how could the Zimmermans know?? The video is here

The hearing that was supposed to be about media access to the discovery took place on June 1. The judge allowed the prosecution (over the objection of O'Mara) to file a bond revocation motion. George had a right to confront his accusers and also to have time to prepare to defend against the motion, but the judge denied him those due process rights and revoked the bond on the spot.

Who knows how truthful the motion was. The quotes from the jail phone calls may have been heavily edited. The prosecution has already been caught editing Shellie Zimmerman's testimony to make her look untruthful. Video here

So the State Attorney's office for the Fourth Judicial District of Florida is taking hostages now.

No big surprise there. We've known all along what they really are.

It’s legal for cops/the state, to lie to you, but illegal for you to lie to them. Go figure....

We're their superiors, plus coming from the sector of society without which their sector COULD not exist, yet they expect to have MORE rights than we, rather than less, as would be expected.

“Could this be revenge against Dershowitz?”

Perhaps it’s time for Mr. Dershowitz to take on an active role (vs. just commentary) in the Zimmerman defense....

Anyone still think there is a chance that Zimmerman will get a fair trial?

What next? Try to have O'Mara disbarred?

This Judge might just as well be a witness for the prosecution now. It started with the judge, now look what he has created.

Not sure why the prosecutor feels compelled to bring charges on this, other than she thinks she’s God.

Pretty sure she actually thinks she outranks God. HE works for her, you see.
