(Newser) – George Zimmerman is once again a free man after posting bail. Trayvon Martin's shooter walked out of jail in Florida a day after a judge raised his bond to $1 million, reports CNN. Given that Zimmerman had more than $200,000 in his defense fund at that point, well more than the standard 10% required, it was no surprise he walked today. In fact, the defense fund has taken in another $20,000 in donations since yesterday, notes the Orlando Sentinel.

Now that he's out on bail, best advice to George Zimmerman is to lay low and watch your back until judgement day.
