Judge orders George Zimmerman back to jail

Rules suspect lied at bond hearing; Has until Sunday to turn himself in

SANFORD, Fla. - The man who shot Trayvon Martin must return to jail after a judge ruled Friday that George Zimmerman and his wife lied to the court about their finances to obtain bond.

Zimmerman was arrested 44 days after the killing, and during a bond hearing in April his wife, Shellie, testified that the couple had limited funds available. The hearing also was notable because Zimmerman took the stand and apologized to Martin’s parents.
