SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. The attorney for George Zimmerman, who is accused of killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, plans to file a motion to ask a judge to allow Zimmerman to be able to travel anywhere in the United States for his own safety.
When Zimmerman bonded out of jail earlier this month, a Seminole County judge added some tough restrictions to his $1 million bond.
Zimmerman currently has to stay in Seminole County, be monitored around the clock with a GPS bracelet, and check in every 48 hours. Hes not allowed to have a bank account, a passport, or even go to the Orlando-Sanford International Airport for any reason.

"Even though the defense fund is running very low, we have increased security costs because the closer he is, the easier he is to find, the more security he has to have," said O'Mara.

Do these guys bother to read their talking points before the spew them?

(26,219 posts)If the costs are too much, and the security is too scary, revoke his bond for his own safety.

(50,454 posts)there is no reason for him to 'travel' anywhere, imo, except back to jail. They are trying to scam the Judge and the public yet again.
