According to CBS News, George Zimmerman, the suspect in the very controversial murder of teenager Trayvon Martin, was granted $150,000 bond at a hearing yesterday. Judge Kenneth Lester stated that he is no flight risk and that his presence in the community would not impose a threat. He is expected to post bond, which his family must put up $15,000 or 10% of it to warrant his release until the set trial date. Zimmerman apologized to Martin's entire family in the courtroom yesterday, surprising all spectators. This case is far from open and shut. There are still many questions that must be answered. Zimmerman has been charged with 2nd degree murder in the case of Trayvon Martin. The most important question is: Will it stand? (link to article below)
