SANFORD --
Judge Kenneth Lester could decide as early as Monday if George Zimmerman will wait for his murder trial behind bars or free on bond.
The judge ended a lengthy bond hearing Friday without ruling, saying he needed more time to go through all the new evidence presented before making a decision.
Zimmerman has Florida law against him when it comes to getting out of jail.
Florida statute 903.035 states:
903.035 Applications for bail; information provided; hearing on application for modification; penalty for providing false or misleading information or omitting material information.—(1)(a) All information provided by a defendant, in connection with any application for or attempt to secure bail, to any court, court personnel, or individual soliciting or recording such information for the purpose of evaluating eligibility for, or securing, bail for the defendant, under circumstances such that the defendant knew or should have known that the information was to be used in connection with an application for bail, shall be accurate, truthful, and complete without omissions to the best knowledge of the defendant.
(b) The failure to comply with the provisions of paragraph (a) may result in the revocation or modification of bail.
Legal analyst Alicia Adamson said being a flight risk or a danger to the community is also taken into consideration. However, that’s not all.
“There is a third issue to granting a bond, which is persevering judicial integrity,” Adamson said. “I think that by George Zimmerman misleading the court, the judicial integrity has been compromised. That along with the fact that the information when requesting a bond should be truthful, should be complete and should not have any omissions, so I think that the judge is going to have to evaluate whether or not he felt that the excuse given by Zimmerman’s lawyer would suffice.”
Zimmerman’s defense team said their client was “confused and afraid.”
Denying Zimmerman’s bond request means he will remain in jail until his case is ready for the next phase.
Attorney Mark O’Mara said his case may not be ready until 2013.
