Other than lying & murdering Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman "poses no threat, should be freed" (Attorney)
Lawyer: Zimmerman no threat, should be freed
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012-06-25/lawyer-zimmerman-comments/55808904/1
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The jailed neighborhood watch volunteer charged with killing Trayvon Martin poses no threat to the community and should be released a second time on bail, his attorney said in a court motion released Monday
George Zimmerman's attorney asked that Zimmerman be granted bond for a second time as he awaits a second-degree murder charge in the 17-year-old Martin's shooting death during a confrontation in a gated community in Sanford, Fla., last February. A judge will consider the request at a second bond hearing Friday.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defense.
The neighborhood watch volunteer was granted a $150,000 bond last April but it was revoked earlier this month after prosecutors accused Zimmerman and his wife of misleading the court about how much money they had raised from donations to a website. Prosecutors say they had raised at least $135,000 from the website created by Zimmerman.

as to his true financial circumstances," Zimmerman's attorney...wrote in the motion.
He intentionally deceived the court as to his true financial circumstances. And if Zimmerman truly is trying to accept responsibility for this actions, he should be willing to accept the appropriate penalty instead of trolling for a do-over.
