Explanations key at Zimmerman bond hearing

ORLANDO, Fla. – The neighborhood watch leader charged with killing Trayvon Martin will have a lot of explaining to do when he asks a judge to release him on bond today.

The last time George Zimmerman asked for bond, he and his wife misled the judge about how much money they had. Prosecutors seized on the deception in the days after that April hearing and persuaded a judge to put Zimmerman back behind bars.

Today, Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester is giving Zimmerman another chance to be set free.
