George Zimmerman, the man who shot and killed teenager Trayvon Martin, has been set a $1 million bond by a judge in Florida on Thursday.
The judge said he selected that amount after hearing arguments last week that Zimmerman and his wife tried to conceal donations for his case. It was out of concern that Zimmerman might try to flee the country.
Details as to when Zimmerman could post the bond and be released from jail were not released. Zimmerman, 28, would be required to put up 10 percent to be freed.
This is the second time that circuit Judge Kenneth Lester grants bond to Zimmerman.
Lester had revoked Zimmerman's $150,000 bond last month after prosecutors told the judge Zimmerman and his wife misled the court about how much money they had during an April bond hearing.
Defense attorney Mark O'Mara said Thursday that Zimmerman's legal defense fund had a balance of $211,000, more than enough to cover the 10-percent non-refundable portion charged by most bonding companies.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the Feb. 26 death of the black, unarmed 17-year-old. Zimmerman says he killed Trayvon in self-defense.
"Under any definition, the defendant has flaunted the system," the judge wrote.
"Counsel has attempted to portray the defendant as being a confused young man who was fearful and experienced a moment of weakness and who may have also have acted out of a sense of 'betrayal' by the system. Based upon all the evidence presented, this court finds the opposite. The defendant tried to manipulate the system when he has been presented the opportunity to do so," he added.
Lester said he was granting bond because Zimmerman posed no threat to the community, and Florida law requires that most defendants receive bond if they pose no threat and can assure their presence for trial.
The judge's order requires Zimmerman to be electronically monitored and residing in Seminole County, prohibits him from opening a bank account or obtaining a passport and implements a 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew.
Zimmerman had been allowed to leave Florida under the conditions of his first bond release.
