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. (More George Zimmerman stories.)
