Judge Kenneth Lester Revokes George Zimmerman’s Bail in Shooting Death of Trayvon Martin (VIDEO)
George Zimmerman’s bond revoked.
Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester has revoked George Zimerman’s bond in the second degree murder shooting death of 17 year old Trayvon Martin. The bond reversal gives Zimmerman 48 hours to turn himself in to the authorities. The judge made his decision after it was determined that George Zimmerman and his wife had not been truthful regarding paypal donations that had been collected prior to his initial bond hearing. Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester said that George Zimmerman and his wife misled the court about how much money they had available when his bond was set for $150,000 in April. Prosecutors claim Zimmerman had $135,000 available that had been raised by a website he set up.
Judge Revokes Zimmerman’s Bond
In a new motion, prosecutors accused Zimmerman and his wife of lying to the judge during a bond hearing about money they collected for his defense.
Prosecutors allege Zimmerman’s wife knew about the donations her husband had collected through a PayPal account, but didn’t mention the money at his bond hearing.
The account ultimately collected about $200,000, his attorney later revealed.
“Defendant has intentionally deceived the court with the assistance of his wife,” the motion says. “During the jail phone calls both of them spoke in code to hide what they were doing.”
Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda told the judge today that “this court was led to believe that they didn’t have a single penny” at the earlier bond hearing.
This can’t be good from a credibility standpoint when it comes to the murder trail and a pretty foolish and unnecessary thing that was done. Just stupid. In a he said, he said case, credibility is everything.

Rasmussen Poll: 40% Say Trayvon Martin Shot in Self-Defense; Only 24% Say It Was Murder … Only 47% of Blacks Think Zimmerman Murdered Martin
As evidence and facts are released in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, the more people believe that George Zimmerman shot in self-defense.
My how the opinion is changing in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman. Initially when the story was inaccurately reported by the MSM and the race baiters like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were out in force fanning the flames of racism, many thought that George Zimmerman was guilty of murder. The MSM even went as far as purposely manipulating the Zimmerman 911 call and misrepresent the facts. My what a difference actual facts and evidence makes.
According to the most recent Rasmussen poll, 40% now believe that George Zimmerman shot 17 year old Trayvon Martin in self-defense, only 24% now believe that it was murder. WOW, only a mere 15% believed Zimmerman acted in self-defense in March and 24% in April. George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain was charged with second degree murder. What is even more stunning with the polling numbers is that 47% of black adults feel Zimmerman should be found guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin, down from 55% in March. Of course the public opinion was influenced by not only the media’s bias reporting, but also President Obama interjecting himself in the case stating that Trayvon Martin could have looked like his son.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 24% of American Adults still believe the man who shot Martin should be found guilty of murder. But that’s down from 33% in late March when the case first began to draw national headlines and 30% in early April.
Forty percent (40%) now think George Zimmerman, who has been charged with second degree murder in the Martin shooting, acted in self-defense. That’s up 25 points from 15% in March and up 16 points from 24% last month. Thirty-six percent (36%) remain undecided, compared to 55% two months ago. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Interestingly, 47% of black adults still feel Zimmerman should be found guilty of murdering the black teenager, compared to 55% in March.
It is simply amazing how the public opinion has shifted in this case once actual facts came out in the case as opposed to the liberal MSM bias agenda. The calls of racism and racial profiling have been pretty much debunked by the autopsy reports of Trayvon Martin that stated he had bruised knuckles and the medical reports and pics that show that George Zimmerman had two black eyes, a broken nose and cuts to the back of his head.
The real question is will justice be served in this case or will the pressures of political correctness and race baiting win out? One think is for certain, the death of any 17 year old is tragic; however, the manipulating of a case to stir racial tensions and fan the flames of racism is reprehensible. The MSM so wanted there to be a hate crime of a white on black crime. So much that the MSM invented a new category of people, “White Hispanics”.
Great analysis from Weasel Zippers, Anyone else notice a correlation between new evidence backing up Zimmerman’s claims and a huge drop in MSM coverage?

“Anthony vs. Curtis” VIDEO has Resurfaced After being Scrubbed after the Death of Trayvon Martin
As reported at the Gateway Pundit, the VIDEO has resurfaced on YOUTUBE of Trayvon Martin attending a fight club. The video was scrubbed off the site after the death of Trayvone Martin. This certainly does not fit the angelic narrative that the MSM tried to paint. Just curious if Barack Obama had a son would he be attending fight clubs in Miami?
The Wagist and Conservative Tree House exposed video of Trayvon Martin attending and possibly refereeing a local fight club brawl in Miami.
The video was uploaded on Trayvon Martin’s YouTube Channel. At least, the video “Anthony vs. Curtis” was there last month.
The video shows Trayvon engaged in actual and intentional violent conduct. You’ll notice Trayvon in the video, wearing a white cap with the striped shirt.
There are three sides to every story, his side, his side and the truth.

Alan Dershowitz Says It’s Time To Drop Second Degree Murder Charges Against George Zimmerman in Death of Trayvon Martin
Self-defense vs. Second degree murder …
Famed Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz says, it is time for the special prosecutor, State Attorney Angela Corey, to drop the second degree murder charges against George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin if she wants to act ethically, lawfully and professionally. Dershowitz stated that if the evidence of the doctors reports of Zimmerman having a fractured nose, two black eyes, two lacerations on the back of his head and a back injury on the day after the fatal shooting are valid, prosecutors will have no choice but to drop the second degree murder charges.
There is, of course, no assurance that the special prosecutor handling the case, State Attorney Angela Corey, will do the right thing. Because until now, her actions have been anything but ethical, lawful and professional.
She was aware when she submitted an affidavit that it did not contain the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. She deliberately withheld evidence that supported Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense. The New York Times has reported that the police had “a full face picture” of Zimmerman, before paramedics treated him, that showed “a bloodied nose.” The prosecutor also had photographic evidence of bruises to the back of his head.
Alan Dershowitz was skeptical of the arrest affidavit from the outset that was first filed against Zimmerman charging him with second degree murder. Now even more evidence has come forward in document dumps that point more toward self-defense than murder. The shooting death of Trayvon Martin is not about “stand your ground”, it is probably more about just common “self-defense”.
Now there is much more extensive medical evidence that would tend to support Zimmerman’s version of events. This version, if true, would establish self-defense even if Zimmerman had improperly followed, harassed and provoked Martin.
A defendant, under Florida law, loses his “stand your ground” defense if he provoked the encounter — but he retains traditional self-defense if he reasonably believed his life was in danger and his only recourse was to employ deadly force.
With such injuries to Zimmerman and abrasions on the knuckles of Trayvon Martin along with the fact that no one really knows who instigated the altercation, how is any jury in all honesty going to find some one guilty of murder with so much reasonable doubt?
Add to the fact that initially the father of Trayvon Martin stated when asked by the police whether the voice on the 911 tape was that of his son … he said no. He would later change his answer when the strory became more political. Zmmerman’s dad and Martin’s mom said it was of their sons. However, an analysis by an FBI lab was not able to make an identification. More reasonable doubt.
The fathers of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman gave Sanford, Fla., police their opinions about the person who was crying for help in 911 tapes of the Feb. 26 confrontation that ended with the shooting death of 17-year-old Martin, according to documents released by the special prosecutor in the case.
Neither said the voice was that of 17-year-old Martin, the New York Times reports. Zimmerman’s father said he thought the voice belonged to his son. Martin’s mother, however, has said it was her son who was screaming on the tapes. An analysis by an FBI lab was not able to make an identification; nor was it able to determine whether Zimmerman uttered a racial slur while pursuing Martin, whom he considered to be suspicious.
Question: If Trayvon Martin was white and/or George Zimmerman was black, would anyone in the MSM, All Sharpton, Jesse Jackson or the NBPP have ever covered or been involved this case?

George Zimmerman Shooting Death of Trayvon Martin: Hmm, Reefer Madness … Autopsy Reveals Trayvon Martin’s Blood Contained THC, Psychoactive Ingredient in Marijuana … And Witnesses Back Up George Zimmerman’s Version of Trayvon Martin Shooting
More things that make you go hmm … Reefer Madness.
As more information keeps coming out as to the facts of the case in the George Zimmerman shooting death of 17 year old Trayvon Martin, autopsy results show that Martin’s blood contained THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. However, the MSM still seems to be making excuses as HLN’s Dr. Drew Pinsky stated that marijuana typically does not make users more aggressive. Really, did he ever know Martin when he was high of reefer? That might be a general statement; however, I have known several people who have used marijuana in mu lifetime and many became paranoid and some actually were affected adversely and became argumentative and hostile. Note to Dr. Drew, not all pot-heads get Doritos and fall asleep.
Martin’s blood contained THC, which is the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, according to autopsy results released Thursday. The autopsy was conducted February 27, the day after the teenager was shot dead.
Toxicology tests found elements of the drug in the teenager’s chest blood — 1.5 nanograms per milliliter of one type (THC), as well as 7.3 nanograms of another type (THC-COOH) — according to the medical examiner’s report. There also was a presumed positive test of cannabinoids in Martin’s urine, according to the medical examiner’s report. It was not immediately clear how significant these amounts were.
No precise levels on the urine were released.
Dr. Michael Policastro, a toxicologist, cautioned against reading too much into the blood THC levels, adding that one cannot make a direct correlation between those findings and a level of intoxication.
He also noted levels of THC, which can linger in a person’s system for days, can spike after death in certain areas of the body because of redistribution.
Hey Barack Obama, does Trayvon Martin still look like you if he was your son? Just curious. Hmm, I guess so.
Let’s remember that Trayvon Martin had been previously suspended from school due to drug use. We shall see how this plays out in the course of the trial; however, what this does do is show that Martin is not the choir boy that the MSM tried to display. Also, it provides more “reasonable doubt”.
Martin’s father, Tracy, had taken his son with him to Sanford, about four hours away from the boy’s home and where the father’s fiance lived, after the teen was suspended for 10 days from Michael M. Krop High School in Miami.
According to records obtained by the Miami Herald, Martin had been suspended from school three times: once for writing graffiti on a door, another time for school truancy and the last time due to drug residue being found in his backpack.
But wait there is more, according to documents, witnesses back up George Zimmerman’s version of Trayvon Martin shooting.
Two police reports written the night that George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin said that Zimmerman had a bloody face and nose, according to police reports made public today.
The reports also note that two witness accounts appear to back up Zimmerman’s version of what happened when they describe a man on his back with another person wearing a hoodie straddling him and throwing punches.
It has been such a contentious case that even the evidence is being disputed.
The police report states that Trayvon Martin’s father told an investigator after listening to 911 tapes that captured a man’s voice frantically calling for help that it was not his son calling for help.
