Zimmerman released on second bail

George Zimmerman leaves jail on second bail of $1m

The US neighbourhood watch volunteer who shot an unarmed black teenager in Florida has left jail after a judge set a second bail at $1m (£650,000).

George Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder over the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February.
Mr Zimmerman's first bond of $150,000 was revoked after prosecutors said he misled the court over his finances.
 
Earlier on Friday, Martin's mother said she was disappointed with the decision to offer Mr Zimmerman a second bail.
In a press conference on Friday, Sybrina Fulton said that knowing the man who shot her son "may walk free sometime, one day, it really hurts".
Mr Zimmerman left Seminole County jail less than 24 hours after a judge reposted his bail.
Tighter security restrictions were imposed on the defendant ahead of his second release, including electronic monitoring and a ban on leaving the county, while keeping away from Orlando international airport.
The racially charged Trayvon Martin case has divided the US.
Mr Zimmerman has said he shot Martin in self-defence during a fight on the ground.
Florida police did not arrest Mr Zimmerman for six weeks after the shooting. Under the state's controversial "stand your ground" law, the use of lethal force is allowed if a person feels seriously under threat.
