i've involved myself in cases where drug dealers talk, and they talk about watermelons and things like that. when you talk about nine or ten, i'm not certain that that is so much of aa code for $80,000 or $90,000. that that is legitimately trying to deceive anything. if deception is the intent why did they expose it the first day it was discussed and he forwarded all the money i asked him to forward the day you asked him to forward it. we'll have a hearing. >> reporter: have you had a chance to tell george? >> haven't told him yet. i'm going to call. >> reporter: did you tell him this was a possibility, and what was his reaction to that? >> no reaction at all. wait to see what the judge does now and at the next hearing. >> reporter: is he watching this? >> i presume so, but i haven't spoken to him yet. >> reporter: is it a simple process to bring him back here? >> we'll accomplish it. we're concerned about safety still, and we'll maintain that concern and accomplish it. >> reporter: what do you think about george and shelley zimmerman being called liars? >> i understand the state's position. i disagree with it. i think judge lester was concerned with whether or not they were being as straightforward as they wanted them to. he wants them to come in person and explain that to him, and we'll certainly give them and the court that opportunity. >> reporter: how long will it take to get george back here? hours a day? >> it sounds like i'm talking in code, but it's less than 48 hours. that's what the judge gave us, and we'll accomplish that. >> reporter: are you still significantly concerned about his security? >> yes. absolutely. >> reporter: have you receive nid dea any death threats? >> they're ongoing threats and concerns and complaints. i don't know where they become true threats, but we're dealing with them the way we want to. law enforcement is involved as they need to be. they keep everyone as safe as we can. >> reporter: can we shift the question. in the court there was a discussion about whether this is a confession made by your client or whether it is a statement made by your client. you actually didn't let the judge answer that for you. where are you on that? have you listened to it and concluded whether it's anything special? >> we've begun the process of analyzing a number of statements that he's given voluntarily to the police. i don't have any -- i don't want to determine or define them as confessions, statements, nuances or whatever. at the right time we make a decision whether this subject to motion to suppress. if they're not, i think they may not fall under the protection of 119. >> reporter: is it time for shelley zimmerman to get an attorney? are you concerned about her statements in court? >> i hadn't thought about it. i don't believe that that's going to be necessary. we'll deal with it when i speak with them. >> reporter: a lot of considerations remain for the zimmerman family when that bond hearing happened allowing them to present themselves. do you think they don't have a special consideration in a lot of this? >> i don't think they should have. i think the judge will maintain the security of all the witnesses and the defendant's family in this case as a priority, and i believe that judge lester will continue to do that. i think it was 155 plus another 30, 185. i just don't keep the active daily track of it that i know you guys want me to. thanks very much. appreciate the time. thank you. >> so we were looking at a live press conference by george zimger man's attorney mark o'meara. let's bring in sunny hostin joining me from new york. sunny, this came out in the past hour. explain for our viewers why the judge did this, why the judge has kind of changed his position, if you will, to say -- to give bond and then also revoke bond now and say he must report in the next 48 hours? >> right. well, the state, the government filed a motion to revoke george zimmerman's bond on two -- they filed a motion based on two things. one, they said that george zimmerman was asked to surrender his passport to the judge as a condition of being released, a condition of bond. he, in fact, did release or relinquish a passport, but that expired in may of 2012. the government found out that he, in fact, had a second passport that did not expire until 2014. so the state felt that he had been dishonest. the most important, i think, parts of the state's motion was ground number two. they say that shelley zimmerman, george zimmerman's wife lied when she represented to the court that their an indigent family and didn't have a lot of money to scrape together to secure bond for george zimmerman. well, the state apparently got hold of several phone calls between george zimmerman and his wife. and during those calls while they sort of speak in code about money -- >> i'm going to jump in real quick. trayvon martin's attorney is speaking out. >> we thinks the most important ruling so far in this entire case. >> reporter: you didn't think he deserved bond and he shouldn't have been let out. the prosecutors used the word "lie," and they didn't coat it over with any sugar here. >> we think this prosecution made a very compelling case that you all can listen to for yourself, and the judge listened to that testimony. based on the evidence before him, he made a ruling that he thought was appropriate based on the law. it is important that we consider to make everything based on the law. now, i will say that trayvon's mother and father have aalways maintained that the killer of their unarmed son shut remain in custody until they have the trial, and everything then will be able to have all the evidence out there. that's a grieving parent saying i want the person that killed my son to be put in jail, because they have always believed if the shoe was on the other foot that trayvon martin would have been put in jail on day one and he would not have been given bail. they've only asked for equal justice, nothing more, nothing less. >> when he turns himself in as demanded by the court, do you believe that he should have the right to make a claim for another bond? >> again, the parents have always said that they want the killer of they are son to remain in custody until the trial. now, it would be based on the law and judge lester's ruling whether or not he will release george zimmerman, but he has to look at the evidence of what has transpired at that bond hearing and what has transpired based on the evidence he considered today. that the special prosecutor had presented through their office and their discovery. >> is there any disagreement with the reaction? >> i'm looking forward to going to call them now. as you would expect, they have been watching this intensely because that's their son that died here. you know, it's important to them for just obvious reasons, but whether your s when your son is killed and there's all these things said, you want to pay attention to defend your son's honor. that's all these parents are trying to do. they're doing what any other parent would have done in the same situation. >> did you learn anything new about it today that you didn't know? >> i think it's important that one of the things you saw in there today was rather obvious that on the day of the bond hearing george zimmerman sat there and saw a parade of witnesses, a parade of witnesses and testimony with the sole intent of proving he was almost indigent, which we know that the candor from that particular situation was not there. i think that's the one thing that came out today that was very evident that was not the case. certainly it went back to case in point here that his credibility is greatly in question. >> so let me see if i understand this correctly. you believe that if he lied about his money and passport that he may also lie about what happened that night? >> we fully expect that the special prosecutor will make george zimmerman's credibility be front and center in this entire case. whatever dishonesty that comes forth by george zimmerman, that they can prove, you can best believe it would be the issue of this case. rightfully so. i think everybody wants credibility, and everybody wants it to be transparent. so when you have a full, fair, transparent trial, then everybody in america can accept the outcome. and everybody, everybody wins when it's transparent and fair. that's all the lawyers in this case, the special prosecutor, the defense team. certainly we as representatives of the family and certainly the mother and father of trayvon martin want it to be a fair trial. they really are concerned about can their son get a fair trial? that is an important issue with them it. >> i want to get out of this now. we're looking at a live press conference in sanford, florida. i'll bring back in sunny hostin. sorry to cut you off there. we wanted to get to the press conference real quick. >> what do you make of this now? it's not surprising trayvon's family would like to see george zimmerman in jail until they at least get to trial and beyond that, of course. you see there that their attorneys soldier kind are kind case to set up the case going forward, the credibility question, almost saying he was lying in order to get bond. >> yeah. i mean, it is an issue now, right? the government alleged and obviously the judge agreed that george zimmerman knew when he let his wife the rest of his family members represent to the court they were, in fact, indigent and it would be doyle put together enough money to make bond. that was their argument in terms of getting the judge to give them a reasonable bond. we know that the judge gave them a bond of $150,000, which means they had to put down about 10%. well, george zimmerman and shelley zimmerman according to jailhouse records were talking about money transferred frommed pay pal account, money he raised on the website from the real george zimmerman and transferred $150,000 to a credit union account. that calls into question his credibility as well as his wife's. >> all right, sunny hostin, thanks so much. we'll talk to you soon. just to recap, this is a judge in seminole county, florida has revoked bond for george zimmerman, who is facing charges relating to the shooting death of 17-year-old trayvon martin, a case we've been following closely. we'll have much more on that to come. we do have a lot of news to cover in the next little while. take a look. thousands of people in florida being purged from voter rolls. the state says it's just doing its duty, but the department of justice says they're violating the law. plus, the war in wisconsin. it's mayor versus governor, and today a former president steps in. >> you have a choice here, and the choice i think is pretty simple. and a milestone for a monarch. london gears up for a major celebration as queen elizabeth marks 60 years on the throne. brooke baldwin tells us what's in store at this weekend's diamond jubilee.
