Neighborhood watchman accused of giving misleading testimony about his finances

By The Associated Press

Prosecutors are asking for George Zimmerman’s bond to be revoked.

SANFORD, Fla. — A judge has revoked the bond of the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin and ordered him returned to jail within 48 hours.

Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester said Friday that George Zimmerman misled the court about how much money he 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.

Prosecutors also say he failed to surrender a second passport. The defense says the finances are an innocent misunderstanding.

Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and is claiming self-defense.

MIAMI (AP) -- A fund has been set up to help the victim of the face-chewing attack in Miami.
Jackson Memorial Foundation announced Thursday that is has opened a fund to assist 65-year-old Ronald Poppo. Donations can be made online. Checks can also be sent to the foundation.
Surveillance video shows Poppo being attacked Saturday afternoon by 31-year-old Rudy Eugene. A police officer shot and killed Eugene, who bit into Poppo's face in broad daylight alongside a busy highway. Police have not released a motive for the attack on Poppo, who had been homeless for decades.
Experts on facial reconstruction say Poppo faces a lengthy recovery, including months of treatment to rebuild his features. He remains hospitalized.
