According to Black Voices/Huffington Post, the wife of George Zimmerman was arrested.

Shellie Zimmerman was arrested on perjury charges. After a few months of hiding, the Seminole County Sheriff has arrested her after she told the judge preceding over the bond hearing that she and her husband couldn't afford a high bond. The judge granted George Zimmerman a $150,000 bond on a 10% insurance.

Her mugshot is now public.

George Zimmerman and his wife pictured here were arrested this week after they've lied to the judge over how much earnings they've obtained during the bond hearing! Shellie Zimmerman was arrested on perjury.

This case is going to be more controversial now that Zimmerman and his wife have both lied to the judge. It is likely George Zimmerman's going to have an unfair trial against him.

In February 2012, George Zimmerman, a volunteer neighborhood watch member shot and killed Trayvon Martin. The unarmed teenager was staying in his father's apartment in a gated community near the city of Sanford, Florida. The two got into a physical altercation, and Zimmerman fired his gun at Martin killing him. Zimmerman claimed it was self-defense, and the Sanford Police allowed him to walk. This set off a firestorm of protest and led the state governor Rick Scott to have an independent prosecutor investigated the case.

The prosecutor has found that Zimmerman should be charged with second-degree murder. The charge carries a mandatory life sentence. The federal law enforcement is also investigating if there could be a hate crime involvement. The Sanford Police is also under federal investigation for negligence in many cases.

This controversy touched off a national discussion about racial profiling and promoting vigilante justice with firearms. President Barack Obama spoke on the tragedy noting that he grieves with the family of Martin and wants the U.S. Justice Department and local law enforcement to handle the matter.

The charges stem from what prosecutors have described as a series of lies and distortions made by the couple during an earlier bond hearing in April, when George Zimmerman and his family claimed they were broke. By late Tuesday afternoon, Shellie Zimmerman posted bond, set at $1,000.

The donations obtained by George Zimmerman are over $200,000.

We here at Journal De La Reyna believe in justice and a fair trial. George Zimmerman deserves a fair trial.  George Zimmerman should be detained until his court hearing. We want to see this young man tried and convicted in the murder of Trayvon Martin.
