*(Via ABC News) – A day after a judge revoked George Zimmerman’s bail status for hiding a stash of money from the court, law enforcement officials say they are in constant contact with him and know his whereabouts as he makes his way to the Seminole County Jail in Sanford, Fla. this weekend.
Less than six weeks ago, George Zimmerman walked out of Seminole County Courthouse a free man on bail, preparing to live the next year or two of his life in hiding as he awaited the beginning of his high profile murder trial for the death of Trayvon Martin.
But a clearly piqued Circuit Court Judge Kenneth Lester ordered him back in jail by Sunday afternoon – a reaction to the surprise evidence introduced by the prosecution showing that Zimmerman held coded telephone conversations with his wife about the many tens of thousands of dollars he’d amassed his PayPal link opened on April 9 – and then told the court he was virtually penniless.
Since his attorney last month waived his right to a speedy trial, Zimmerman could conceivably spend the duration of the trial in isolation for his own security.
“At this time revoke his bond,” said Judge Kenneth Lester as court room observers gasped. “Order him to surrender himself within 48 hours.”
The prosecution presented at least four jailhouse phone conversations in which George and Shelly Zimmerman were apparently discussing tiny amounts of money, but were allegedly referring to some of the $200,000 supporters had poured into his PayPal account.

Been trying to tell folks, Zimmerman is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. And that more than anything else will serve as his undoing. Can just imagine how much inconsistent stuff he said on tape to the police which will be used against him in trial.
Zimmerman obviously does not think before he speaks or acts. That’s why he went after someone who was not committing a crime in any way with a loaded gun.
Umm…..”at risk”!!?? GTFOH!, the shyt is…..G’ON!!!! And…..if anyone thinks this mofo only collected “2000,000l?, I have some “oceanfront property in Watts” to sell yo azz! Ain’t no telling HOW much money dey d’on got from the “STUpids/racist” who feel this azzholes is….innocent! So again I say?, I hope this bytch azz gets thrown in “general pop” & is made to toss ERRY salad up in thurr!! Then?, gets at least…… 30yrs (pausing…) naaaaw fk that!!, Trayvon would’ve lived to be at least “75″?, so…Geo should spend “that” shyt in ….jail, AND give ALL that fkn money to Trayvon’s family !!!, taking from the bigots & giving to the subjects OF their bigotry!!! “Darrrr it izz, Liz”!/lights out!!!!
Sorry….”200,000″!!!
And THIS time, they need to keep his ass in jail until the trial is over … THEN they can send his ass to PRISON!!!!
I am just SMDH in disbelief that the judge let this slip by in the first place!!! EVERYBODY knew about that money!!! It was bragged about MEDIA-WIDE!!!
When does a judge listen to the media to handle a case? He needs facts. He got them so that’s why we are where we are at this moment.
A judge may not “listen to the media to handle a case,” but I’ll bet this one has watched television or read a newspaper at least ONCE in the past 6 months. AND, IMHO, “we are where we are at this moment” because the judge decided, in his infinite wisdom, to grant bail to someone with no respect for the law.
The next bond hearing will be a mockery of the first and a waste of the taxpayers’ money.
