George Zimmerman's bond was revoked in early June and he was put back behind bars, but he appeared on Friday to try for bond again, Breaking Celebrity News is reporting.

He was jailed because the court found he was deceitful about his finances and the possession of a second passport when taped phone conversations between him and his wife, Shellie Zimmerman, were released in which they talked about transferring money between accounts.

Zimmerman was originally going to take the stand, but his attorney said he just wanted to make a statement and not be questioned, to which the judge explained that wasn't the way it worked — if he took the stand the prosecutor would have the right to question him — so Zimmerman backed out.

His wife Shellie could not take the stand because she has pending felony charge, for perjury.

The defense was seeking to keep the original bail amount of $150,000, arguing that the state's case is weak and therefore doesn't warrant a large bond.

Prosecutors wanted no bond.

Zimmerman's attorney argued that nowhere in the 30 hours of tapes does it spell out the fact that George and his wife were purposely trying to hide money — and that confusion and fear may have made him mislead the court, unintentionally.

Both sides argued back and forth for hours and Zimmerman's attorney even went on to call the second-degree murder charge an "improper charge and certainly very weak case."
