In court Friday, prosecutors said Zimmerman did not correct his wife, Shellie Zimmerman, during an April 20 bail hearing as she misled the court about their finances, neglecting to disclose they had raised at least $135,000 in a PayPal account.?
In an online statement Monday, Zimmerman?s lawyer, Mark O?Mara, said his client had acknowledged the error, saying Zimmerman allowed the couple's finances to be misstated because of fear and other pressures related to the case.?
"The gravity of this mistake has been distinctly illustrated, and Mr. Zimmerman understands that this mistake has undermined his credibility, which he will have to work to repair,? O?Mara said.
