Shellie Zimmerman, wife of George Zimmerman, was arrested today for perjury stemming from her husband's bond hearing. She was booked and quickly bonded out of jail.
Her husband is charged with second degree murder for the killing of Trayvon Martin.
Details of the arrest:
From Orlando Sentinel:
At her husband's bond hearing, Shellie Zimmerman was asked repeatedly about money. Among the questions: How much did the couple collect in donations through George Zimmerman's website?"Currently, I don't know," Shellie Zimmerman replied. She and other family members described their financial situation as dire. Judge Kenneth Lester granted George Zimmerman $150,000 bond on the second-degree murder charge he faces in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
But prosecutors say Shellie Zimmerman spent the days before that hearing shifting tens of thousands of dollars out of her husband's account, then deliberately lied to the judge.
