George Zimmerman's Bail Revoked

Rush commented on this today, and frankly I don't know what he was trying to say. That the only reason why Zimmerman is back in jail is because he isn't black?

It is interesting that he has a second passport, and apparently the Paypal account of which Rush speaks has $200,000 in it - donations from people around the country for his defense fund.

You'd think he'd just have to give up that second passport, but apparently since he didn't tell anyone he had it, he's to be punished by being sent back to jail.

RUSH: We have a little breaking news here: George Zimmerman's bond has been revoked in the Trayvon Martin shooting case. George Zimmerman must surrender himself to the authorities within the next 48 hours. Now, you're probably saying, "Well, why?" Well, according to the breaking news, they have found out that George Zimmerman had more money in his PayPal account than his wife realized -- and because he has a second passport. So his bail has been revoked. He's got more money in his PayPal account than his wife knew, and he's got a second passport. So we are getting a very important lesson about what "social justice" looks like, and it ain't blind.
Here's what Click Orlando had to say about it:
Prosecutors say Zimmerman misled the court on his finances during a bail hearing that allowed his release on $150,000 bond. Zimmerman's attorney said several days later that he had discovered his client had raised more than $200,000 from a website with $135,000 available. That money wasn't disclosed at the bond hearing.

Judge Kenneth Lester heard the argument at the evidence hearing because he said the matter was "very serious."

State prosecutors said on Friday Zimmerman's wife, Shelley, knew about the PayPal money from his website and lied at the bond hearing when she said she didn't know of it.

O'Mara commented on the state calling Zimmerman and his wife liars by saying, "I understand the states position on it. I don’t agree with it. That’s what adversaries do."

State prosecutors said Zimmerman also had another passport he didn't disclose to the court.

"The defendant lied to this court," said state prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda. O'Mara defended Zimmerman, saying he didn't deceive the court about his passport.
