O'Mara Defends Zimmerman on Finances Issue in Court

Attorney Mark O’Mara made the case Friday that his client George Zimmerman and his wife did not take advantage of a large amount of money in his defense fund that O’Mara did not initially know about to get himself out of jail and take off. They only used $5,000 of the fund for his bond, O’Mara noted. O’Mara told Seminole County Circuit Court Judge Kenneth Lester Jr. that the misrepresentation of Zimmerman’s finances, given the circumstances, “was more on the side of an innocent misunderstanding than a devious intent to hide money from you.”
