George Zimmerman appeared in court today before Circuit Court Judge Kenneth Lester. Huffingtonpost reports:
A Florida judge has granted bail for George Zimmerman, the Florida neighborhood watch captain accused of second-degree murder in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester set Zimmerman's bond at $150,000, but said he would not be released today, pending deliberations about the terms of the release.
The bail hearing featured dramatic testimony from Zimmerman, who took the stand and offered an apology to Martin's parents.
"I wanted to say that I am sorry for the loss of your son," Zimmerman said, adding that he did not know how old Martin was or that he was unarmed.
"I thought he was a little bit younger than I am," he said. "I did not know whether he was armed or not."
Assistant prosecutor Bernie De La Rionda requested that the judge set no bail or require a bond of $1 million, arguing that Zimmerman's past history of violence and the evidence against him in the shooting of Martin made him a threat to the public.
"Our position is that he will still be a danger to the community," De La Rionda said.
O'Mara asked for bail of just $15,000 and requested that Zimmerman be allowed to leave the state while on bond.
Judge Lester ordered O'Mara to confer with state prosecutors and the Seminole County Sheriff's Department on the terms of Zimmerman's confinement, and to request an additional ruling if an agreement could not be met.
Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester says Zimmerman cannot have any firearms, drink alcohol or use drugs and must observe a curfew. Zimmerman will also have to wear an electronic monitoring device. The judge says Zimmerman will not be released Friday.
In another turn of events, ABC News exclusively obtained a photo of George Zimmerman with a bloody head, which was reported to have been taken 3 minutes after he shot and killed Martin. Some speculate that this could give credability to Zimmerman argument that Trayvon "bashed" his head into the concrete. ABC News reports:
The exclusive image shows blood trickling down the back of Zimmerman's head from two cuts. It also shows a possible contusion forming on the crown of his head. The original police report that night notes that the back of Zimmerman's head was wet, and that he was bleeding from the nose and head.
Zimmerman told police that night that he shot and killed the teenager in self-defense after Martin punched him and pounced on him. Zimmerman told police that Martin then bashed his head into the concrete sidewalk during the altercation that took place in the tidy middle-class development of the Retreat at Twin Lakes in Sanford, Fla.
Zimmerman was treated at the scene by paramedics, then cuffed and driven in a police cruiser to the Sanford police station. He was questioned for hours and later released. In police surveillance video obtained last month by ABC News, Zimmerman's wounds are not apparent, and there were no bandages on his head.
Zimmerman was not admitted to a hospital or given stitches the night of the incident.
The person who took the photograph of a bloodied Zimmerman, asking not to be identified, told ABC News exclusively that they did not see the scuffle that night, but did hear it. The person recalled seeing Martin's prostrate body on the wet grass and said the gunpowder burns on Martin's gray hoodie were clearly visible.
The photographer said that after the shooting, Zimmerman asked the photographer to call his wife. When the photographer asked him what to say, Zimmerman blurted out, "Man, just tell her I shot someone."
Investigators have seen the photo.
Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump is skeptical.
"How bad could it have been if they didn't take him to the hospital [and] didn't stitch him up," he said in a statement to ABC News in response to the image. "The special prosecutor has seen all the evidence and still believes George Zimmerman murdered Trayvon Martin."
Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, said his client has spent enough time behind bars.
"He needs to get out. He should not be in jail," O'Mara said. "I want him out because I need him out. He wants to get out. His family wants it out. It should happen."
If you haven't heard, Trayvon Martin was a young, unarmed African-American, 17-year-old boy who was shot by an overzealous neighborhood watchman in a city north of Orlando. It all happened on February 26, 2012. The youth went to the local 7-11 to get some snacks while the 2012 All-Star Game was on half-time. He was walking back to the home of his father's fiance, which he had visited before. She lives in a gated community. He also had a package of Skittles with him that he got from the 7-11.
On the way back from purchasing snacks at the 7-11, he was spotted by a neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman. Zimmerman called 911 to report a "suspicious person". Audio of the 911 calls have just been released. In the call, Zimmerman can be heard saying:
"This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something," Zimmerman tells the 911 operator. "He's just staring, looking at all the houses. Now he's coming toward me. He's got his hand in his waistband. Something's wrong with him.
He described Martin as wearing sweatpants or jeans and a hoodie. He went on to say that Martin was coming to check him out and he had something in his hand. He says he doesn't know what his deal is and asked the dispatcher for an officer.
He can later be heard saying:
"These as@#holes always get away," he says to the operator. Zimmerman is then heard giving directions to the dispatcher. "Sh#2, he's running."
The dispatcher asked Zimmerman if he was following him{Martin} and he replied "Yes"! The dispatched tells him "We don't need you to do that"!
What transpired after that has caused a nation-wide outcry. Zimmerman confronts Martin and a scuffle ensues. Neighbors are calling 911 reporting hearing a young-man scream for help and then hearing one gun shot first, the screams then a second gun shot.
The police arrived and there are conflicting stories about what transpired. Zimmerman has claimed self-defense and has not been charged. Zimmerman is said to have been bleeding from his nose, the back of his head, and had grass on the back of his shirt when police arrived.
The police have been heavily criticized for the way they have handled the case so far. Some people have said they didn't get follow ups from the police. Authorities are claiming that under Florida self-defense law called the Stand Your Ground Law protects citizens who feel reasonably threatened. The family has an attorney who has called for the Department of Justice to Intervene as they feel that the Sanford police have botched the handling of the case and the family no longer trusts the Sanford P.D.
It has surfaced that there are some inconstancies in the police investigation. Zimmerman reportedly told the police he didn't have a record at the time, but it turns out he had a record for battery against an officer in 2005.
Reports have also surfaced that police told Trayvone's father that Zimmerman's record was "squeaky clean", when it wasn't. Some are making the accusations that the police are trying to "cover up something".
Activists, community leaders, & citizens alike are demanding that Zimmerman be arrested and charged with a crime. Many are saying that racism is playing a major part in this investigation, which the police deny. So much outcry has developed, it prompted Zimmerman's father to write an open letter to the Orlando Sentinel explaining that his son is not racist and he the true details will come out and it will be an injustice of how the media has portrayed his son.
The 911 calls tell a chilling tell of what neighbors heard and witnessed. A petition has been started asking for arrest of Zimmerman which has almost 300,000 signatures. Many are calling for justice in this case and until Zimmerman is charged or a higher entity intervenes, there will continue to be tension in the community both locally & nationally.
