George Zimmerman is hiding in a secret safe house in Seminole County, Florida, protected 24 hours a day by a private security team.
The former neighborhood watch volunteer has stepped up his security after being released from jail on $1 million bail because he is forced to stay in the same community where he killed Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman's supporters say he has received thousands of death threats since the shooting in February in Sanford, Florida, which he claims was self-defense.
Zimmerman's lawyers were able to post the bond with help from an influx of $20,000 in donations to their client's defense fund after a desperate plea on its website, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
The $20,000 added to the balance of $211,000 in the defense fund, which was more than enough to cover the 10 per cent non-refundable portion charged by bonding companies.
'He is very happy to be out. It's been a very sobering experience spending the last month in jail,' Zimmerman's attorney Don West told reporters on Friday afternoon.
Another attorney for Zimmerman, Mark O'Mara, said that the team had secured a temporary safe house for his client.

Good find. Horrible. I wish I was very wealthy and I could help Zimmerman materially. Find a good lawyer for him. I’m sick that this 0’Mara is worthless.

Talk about “hard to believe”??? Here is Tracy Martin in his conversation with the police:
Lie #1: In Tracy Martin’s phone call to the SPD on the morning of Feb 27th, he claims with his lying tongue, that he last saw his son Trayvon at 8:30 PM the previous night. Problem with that statement is that he was already dead by then. He was dead by about 7:20 PM. He lied bigtime —
Lie #2: He follows that lie with another telling the SPD that Trayvon doesn’t have a Drivers License. Really??? Well he did have one — just not on him at at the time. It’s listed on his autopsy report. Why the lie???
This is just the beginning of the exposure of the Martin family credibility problems. And note the comments at the end of the article.
Wipe the spittle from your mouth and try to explain exactly what that which you posted has to do with the other poster’s friends.
It doesn’t. It has to do with you —
Leaving races and race-baiting aside, the entire situation boils down to a simple truth. If you choose to behave like a thug your loved ones should not be surprised when you die like a thug.
Speaking of the Lynch Zimmerman mob, they are keeping a low profile now, but I got a feeling that once the show trial begins and he is convicted, they will come out of the woodworks celebrating like the jackals they are. I have no confidence in it happening but I hope that they find themselves in the same situation that Zimmerman is now in.
Neither of you know what happened that night. Neither do I but I don't claim to and you do.
Zimmerman is a grown man who as an adult is a liar and a sneak with a verified history of violence.
Martin was a pot-smoking teenager who got into trouble once in a while.
Both are/were punks but zimmerman is a punk and a loser. Martin may have become a loser as an adult but we'll never know.
We do know that zimmerman followed and martin ran.
We do know that they had a fight and zimmerman got his ass kicked.
We do know that zimmerman killed martin.
The rest of what you post about what happened is nothing but speculation.
Sharpton, Jackson, the DA, the judge, martin's parents, any other crime or Blacks in general or your feelings about any of the above have absolutely nothing to do with what happened that night.
Yes -- but there are certain indisputable verifiable facts.
Zimmerman is a grown man who as an adult is a liar and a sneak with a verified history of violence.
Even if true, so what does that have to do with what we know about the facts of that night????
Martin was a pot-smoking teenager who got into trouble once in a while.
and was currently on suspension from school for apparently punching a bus driver [does that count as "verified history of violence" or is that just part of his fight club training.]
Both are/were punks but zimmerman is a punk and a loser.
who was gainfully employed and the neighborhood watch captian. You must have a low opinion of employment and security people.
Martin may have become a loser as an adult but we'll never know.
We know enough unfortunately.
We do know that zimmerman followed and martin ran.
No. You have your facts wrong. Per the 911 call, martin ran and zimmerman followed, as the dispatcher was asking him which way did he run and which entrance is he running toward??.
We do know that they had a fight
Who do you think threw the first punch and the following ones?? the 6'2" lean mean 17 y/o fighting machine who didn't have a mark on him or the 5'7.5" slow obese 28 y/o office worker who was out of breath from 10 seconds of running and had blood covering 45% of his head???
and zimmerman got his ass kicked.
and martin wouldn't stop even when he was calling for help. And that's okay with you??? He should have just let him bash his head in and then hold his hand over his mouth so he chokes to death.
We do know that zimmerman killed martin.
in self defense especially when the other person on top of you will not call off his assault and is reaching for your gun.
The rest of what you post about what happened is nothing but speculation.
There is nothing speculative about Tracy Martin's lies to the police on the morning of the 27th. He should have been investigated.
Sharpton, Jackson, the DA, the judge, martin's parents, any other crime or Blacks in general or your feelings about any of the above have absolutely nothing to do with what happened that night.
But everything to do with the miscarriage of justice that has happened afterwards.
No, your own use of the word 'apparently' shows that you have nothing to support your claim.

What I "think" doesn't matter. What you "think" doesn't matter. All that does matter is what you can prove about who started the fight -- the guy with the gun or the one who ran away...what proof do you have? If none then man up and say so. Come on, say "I don't know who started the fight." It is the truth after all.
And, why was zimmerman out of breath from running for ten seconds? Who was he chasing? Don't bother - you don't know that he even was running.
Or you could explain this, how did zimmerman, according to you, have blood covering 45% of his head before the first punch was thrown?

There you go again...you have no proof that the guy who ran away then "assaulted" the guy with the gun who was following him. You know you don't. Man up and admit it.

Please explain what anything Tracy Martin ever said to anybody has anything at all to do with what happened that night.
That's because you cannot trust anything that issues from the mouth of a Martin family member. Remember his father said he last saw Trayvon at 8:30 PM -- an hour after he had died at about 7:20 PM. Why the big lie???
What I "think" doesn't matter.
That you do think does though and I'm beginning to wonder.
All that does matter is what you can prove about who started the fight
No -- you are wrong. It is up to the prosecution to try to prove that and it still is only part of their problem.
All Zimmerman has to prove is that he felt fear for his life when that thug was on top of him, bashing his head into the concrete, and covering his mouth so he couldn't breathe or call out for help. And the last straw would be when he reached for the gun and told him that he was going to kill him. Slam dunk for shooting him in self-defense.
Or you could explain this, how did zimmerman, according to you, have blood covering 45% of his head before the first punch was thrown?
Who said it was "before"??? Have you been smoking something??? The EMT testified to it. It's part of the court record.
And, why was zimmerman out of breath from running for ten seconds? Who was he chasing?
It's a matter of the court record from the 911 call that TM had run and GZ couldn't find him to follow him half way through that 911 call. Whatever "chase" there was was over rather quickly as TM had run away and GZ was told he did not have to follow him. And from that point on the tape there is a conversation between GZ and the dispatcher for about 2 minutes until they hang up. It is a matter of court record. The call ends with TM having run away 2 minutes earlier and GZ not following.
Please explain what anything Tracy Martin ever said to anybody has anything at all to do with what happened that night.
Because he lied to the police and they caught him in a lie from the first conversation and that should have alerted them that something was wrong.
Until you can post proof that what you say about martin assaulting zimmerman then you are engaged in nothing but speculation. Got any? No, you don't.
Just admit it...man up and say, "No, I don't have proof that what I say is true." ---- I bet you are not honest enough to do it.
No proof that martin attacked zimmerman ---- that's why you spend hours digging around looking for anything inconsistant that can be tied to the martin family.
The sad thing for you is that absolutely nothing that they or anyone else on the planet ever says or does will ever have anything to do with what happened...they were not there.
You are as sorry as sharpton and the clowns on the other side.
This will do for now: "and zimmerman got his ass kicked".#27
I don't have proof
You do realize that, according to the law, the burden of proof is on you and the state prosecutor not on Zimmerman's side. They know it but you apparently don't.
And yet Zimmerman's side is backed up by statements made under oath, lie detector tests, witness statements given under oath, all the photos at the scene, all the forensic evidence, the autopsy, medical reports, the better judgment of the SPD, and BDLR's admission in his cross-examination of Mr. Zimmerman.
The state prosecutor has DeeDee and clueless people like you.
Btw...tradition on FR is that it is incumbant on the freeper making statements of fact, as you repeatedly do, to prove those statements. This is not a court of law.
It is up to you to support your statements of 'fact' with proof. You can't and you are not honest enough to admit it.
You may go back to your diversions and smokes-screens now...I've got your number.
The state prosecutor has DeeDee and clueless people like you.
Again, you can’t man up and admit that you have no proof that things happened the way you said they did...no proof at all, none. Have a nice day.
