Audio recordings from phone calls Florida gunman George Zimmerman made while in jail in April have just been released by Florida special prosecutor Angela Corey.

 

The phone calls are part of the state's evidence alleging that Zimmerman and his wife, Shellie, misled the court during an April bond hearing. A judge released Zimmerman on $150,000 bond after the Zimmermans testified they little money. But on the calls, George Zimmerman is heard coaching his wife and sister on how to move tens of thousands of dollars donated to his legal defense fund.

 

After getting his wife access to transfer the funds, Zimmerman instructs her to pay off nearly all the couple's bills and to purchase bullet-proof vests for her, him and his attorney.

 

"We need to get on it ASAP, cause you know the, the personally I want you wearing one," Zimmerman says from the Seminole County jail.

 

"Okay," she replies.

 

"As uncomfortable as it is, I want you wearing one," he says.

 

Zimmerman, who is charged with killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February, is now back behind bars after his bond was revoked. His wife was charged with perjury related to her testimony about the family's finances.

Below are links Reuters posted to the jailhouse audio files and transcripts of those calls. Come back to this post for more details on today's developments.

I agree! I hope he fries for what he did

Quoting sweet-a-kins:

 The fact that not ONE of the people that made these donations to a supposed DEFENSE fund are upset or asking for a refund....tells me there is a more sinister reason for their donation which seems more like a reward for KILLING 'ONE OF THEM' ....

it had nothing to do with his 'innocence' or defense

I wonder if people that donated to his "legal" fund expect him to pay off his debts with the money.  

 That's not why the site was set-up...I am wondering if that is some type of fraud....Kind of like soliciting donations for that bride that was dying of cancer...except she didn't have cancer...

I think this is one of those "they got what they asked for" when people opted to "donate" to this murder's cause.

 LOL I guess he regrets shooting that little boy now?  LMAO  Maybe next time (always assuming he gets off, which I hope he doesn't) he will think twice before ignoring the advice of the 911 operator?

Well,my eyes and ears are bleeding! I Wished no ill will against Mrs. Zimmerman til now. The conversation was informative though,just WHAT meeting did dear old Dad have? And nauseating. What goes through this psychopath's mind is utter selfishness. He has ZERO remorse about killing a barely 17 year old,SON,BROTHER,CHILD. He's more worried about money he misappropriated and his comfort. His wife has elevated to a willing accomplice of that sleaze and I hope true justice is serve here as it surely will be on Judgement Day!
