What lie did Zimmerman actually tell the judge? And be specific, don’t just tell us what MSNBC and NBC told you he said.
During the Bail Hearing, he was questioned about his income, savings and net worth. Zimmerman failed to disclose the online fund-raising efforts that represented over $100,000. Thus, bail was set based upon his financial disclosure. This was an intentional lie, when full disclosure was an option, Zimmerman opted to tell a whopper.
In jail, he was on a monitored phone call where his wife was asking what to do with the money - they spoke in a very sophisticated "code", using dollars to represent $1,000 increments. It took a 5th grader about 30 seconds to decode this communications. That is why his bail was recinded and he got to spend the next few weeks in jail. He was released recently, with his online fundraising money taken into consideration - hence his "Million Dollar" bail (of which he has to front 10%) as insurance he will return to face trial.
(1)(a) All information provided by a defendant, in connection with any application for or attempt to secure bail, to any court, court personnel, or individual soliciting or recording such information for the purpose of evaluating eligibility for, or securing, bail for the defendant, under circumstances such that the defendant knew or should have known that the information was to be used in connection with an application for bail, shall be accurate, truthful, and complete without omissions to the best knowledge of the defendant.
Note the part about “without omissions”. Third degree felony.
