Second-degree murder defendant George Zimmerman will have another bond hearing on June 29, WESH reported.

The Orlando television station cited Zimmerman’s attorney Mark O’Mara for the court date, and reported that Zimmerman’s legal team visited him in the Seminole County Jail Tuesday evening.

Zimmerman went back to jail on Sunday, two days after a judge revoked his $150,000 bond. Seminole County Circuit Court Judge Kenneth Lester Jr. suggested that Zimmerman and his wife Shellie had not been honest about their finances during the first bond hearing held in April, when they indicated they had limited funds.

The Zimmerman legal team said in a posting Monday on gzlegalcase.com that it would file a motion the same day for a new bond hearing, but then said in another post on Tuesday that it was delaying filing its motion.

O’Mara said that Zimmerman has learned his lesson that he has to be completely truthful in court, WESH reported.

Zimmerman, 28, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder for the killing of Trayvon Martin, 17, of Miami Gardens in a Sanford gated community on Feb. 26. He claims self-defense.
