WASHINGTON, April 23 (Reuters) – George Zimmerman, charged
with second-degree murder in the killing of unarmed black
teenager Trayvon Martin, left a Florida jail early on Monday,
after a judge set bail at $150,000 in the racially charged case,
a spokeswoman for the sheriff in Seminole County, Florida, said.
Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch volunteer, was
released from the county’s John E. Polk Correctional Facility
shortly after midnight Monday after posting bail and meeting
other conditions set for his release at a pretrial detention
hearing on Friday.
