George Zimmerman’s Jail Calls to Wife Released: Wear A Bulletproof Vest
Ever wonder what George Zimmerman talked about with his wife while he was locked away in the Seminole Country Jail? Now you can know, thanks to Special Prosecutor Angela Corey who has released the audio of six phone conversations between George Zimmerman and wife Shellie to the public.
Prosecutors convinced Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester Jr. to put Zimmerman back in jail and stick his wife Shellie with perjury last month when they proved that she lied about money under oath. Prosecutors wanted up to 151 calls, but due to defense complaints, the number was cut to six. In those six, Zimmerman talks a lot about money and instructs his wife to move funds from one account to another. He also makes strange requests, like asking his wife to wear a bulletproof vest.
“As uncomfortable as it is, I want you wearing one,” said Zimmerman to his wife. Zimmerman himself wore one when he left jail after posting $150,000 bond in April.
Shellie was charged with perjury when she testified that she didn’t know how much money had been raised on Zimmerman’s website. In one of the calls, she talks to her husband about those funds, which helped prosecutors prove she lied on the stand. In one call, Zimmerman asked, “In my account do I have at least 100?” Shellie replied no, and Zimmerman asked how close he was. “$8.00, $8.60,” she replied. “Really? So total everything how much are we looking at?” Shellie replied, “Like 155.” The prosecution said that they were speaking in code, really talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Another call had Shellie telling Zimmerman that the website had crashed due to the massive outpouring of donations and words of encouragement for Zimmerman’s cause. “Wow, that is awesome,” Zimmerman said. “Those people need to start vocalizing themselves.”
One call had Zimmerman and his wife discussing how to get him out of jail if granted a bond. “We could have two cars, we could have two rented cars,” she said. Zimmerman chillingly replied, “It doesn’t matter if car that picks him up from jail has tinted windows…Well, I have my hoodie.”

oh that's suck.
Jun 19, 2012
Why are private phone calls made public?
Jun 19, 2012
You have very few rights when you are in jail.
Jun 19, 2012
Private calls are not private in jail. The only private conversations happen between a client and attorney.
Jun 19, 2012
All is fair in this case, because they should probably be careful about what they talk about. If he's making jokes about this murder then that says a lot about his defense and what he really had in mind when he spotted his victim.
Jun 19, 2012
People need to wake up and realize that Zimmerman is just using them as he has always used whoever and whatever possible and people cant see how dis honest and shady this man is I don't know what to say I know that his lawyer is saying DAMM because there was more phone recordings O Mara fought hard to keep out of public scrutiny But we all know George started that incident that night and started his lying then also its all falling into place. Now will the Court System do its job and make him pay for his cowardly act, and if they don't its up to the people to to get those people out of there DOn't FORGET WE PUT THEM THERE THEY WORK FOR US.

and please don't forget his joke about the HOODIE you have to keep all of this in mind because he already looks at a certain people one way and another another way he has been playing this game all his life because when has he held any job for a decent period of time has been living off student loans and Sheely and her Mom now he is living off the State and the foolish ones who donate money so he can pay his bills bet you all of thier bills aren't up to date Check his character and all the Trayvon haters talking trash trayvon didn't live long enough to become the slouch of a man George is.
Jun 19, 2012
I cringed when I read Zimm's hoodie comment. That says something about his character.
Jun 19, 2012
me too.I hope he gets what he deserves!
Jun 19, 2012
America used to be the `dream nation` but to be honest, there are so many evils committed there especially towards people of African origin that I would never ever wonna step there. How does this fool get away with murder of a small boy? He is a criminal. Look at his emotionless eyes and yet he is in the dock on trial for killing a 17 year old kid. I guess when it comes to African American people, Jim Crow laws can be applied on them and the perpetrators of the evils easily get away with it. How sad
Jun 19, 2012
People do realize that this man murdered Trayvon Martin. It is only that to most non-African American people they feel that it is justified for one of them to slaughter a black person and get away with it. That is how bad RACISM is in that country.
Jun 19, 2012
Is that all you picked up from the story? Is that your only concern? Privacy?
Jun 19, 2012
Too bad his victim wasn't wearing a "bullet proof vest".
Jun 19, 2012
Zimmerman has demonstrated what kind of character he has. He killed someone he imagined was dishonest and it turns out to have been a projection. As far as we know, search Zimmerman's house and you're likely to find half of the goods stolen from the neighborhood.
Jun 19, 2012
Zimmerman took off on foot after that kid and when the police questioned him he claimed that the kid confronted him from out of nowhere when he opened his truck door. The guy is bad news. People stand up for him because they are bad news. Birds of a feather. They find excuses for him no matter what. They are completely lacking in morals and it is actually pretty scary, because dishonesty comes so naturally to them, it feels right to them.
Jun 19, 2012
Notice the remorse he feels after taking an innocent young life
Jun 19, 2012
This is not even about Zimmerman killing Treyvon anymore, but about lying in court.
Jun 19, 2012
Ken Richard
You sir are as smart as a lump of coal. Search your house and we might find the lindburg baby.
Jun 19, 2012
Robert,
What happened to Trayvon was only a matter of time, he was a gangsta who used his time on earth for NO good. He was a criminal who payed the ultimate price for the choices he himself made.
Does not solve anything to make someone else a victim too.
Jun 19, 2012
Charlene Wanjiku Kimara
That 17 year old kid was a burglar and self proclaimed gangsta. He chose his life-style which chose his outcome.
Jun 19, 2012
Dumb as fock….shiesty.
Jun 19, 2012
I have often wondered about that too, Now that he's in jail the breakins have probably ceased.
Jun 19, 2012
Ken you are Dumb
Jun 19, 2012
"He also makes strange requests, like asking his wife to wear a bulletproof vest."
Really? That's a strange request given how much hate there is for this family at the moment? People seem to forget about the bounty placed on their heads..
Jun 20, 2012
Charlene Wanjiku Kimara – what about when a black person "slaughters" a white person? that NEVER makes the news …. talk about racism
Jun 20, 2012
But they do get arrested and put behind bars. That is why according to statistics, too many men of African origin are rotting in American jails. Right? They are never given the priviledge of being taken to the police station, uncuffed, only to be released hours after they commit murder. I am not going in on the system because Zimmerman is Caucasian/Hispanic but because I am sure if the roles were reversed and it was Trayvon who shot Zimmerman, that boy would never have walked free ever again. This Zimmerman guy killed that young boy; no question about that. His character is very questionable. He even has the guts to make a joke about HOODIES!!! You don`t have to be a rocket scientist to know that the system has been too lax on locking this man away. If when African American thugs kill a person they are locked away for good, please lock this Zimmerman away too. Now that is JUSTICE
Jun 20, 2012
my concern is how his an his wifes 2nd amendment was violated by the goverment
Jun 20, 2012
if the inocent 17 yr old was beating the crap outa me i would do the same thing weather hes black,white brown or green
Jun 20, 2012
its amazing when these "iNOCENT" kids no matter what theire collor rob an kill ppl just for kicks
Jun 20, 2012
Corey you are a scumbag.
Jun 20, 2012
Rodney Barry…Listen keenly to the recorded tapes. They are informed that their conversation will be recorded. That is why they attempted to use `codes` in their conversation hoping that people would not understand that $10 is actually $10,000.To be honest, they aren`t a very smart pair.
Jun 20, 2012
yes they have because your partner got killed ,but iam sure you will find another
Jun 20, 2012
I say let the justice system work and lets not try ANYONE in the court of public opinion
Jun 20, 2012
" He also makes strange requests, like asking his wife to wear a bulletproof vest."
WHY IS THIS STRANGE? Black racists like Spike Lee & the Black Panthers are trying to publish their address and placed bounties on their heads..
This WHOLE story is complete BS! Just like this entire BOGUS case! I hope Zimmerman sues the SH! T out of the poice department, DA's office and spike lee.. This is no different then that BS Duke Lacrosse rape trial…. FAKE RACISM started by self-hating whites and racist blacks!
Jun 20, 2012
FREE ZIMMERMAN !!!
Jun 20, 2012
Then dont judge Ken Richard
Jun 20, 2012
if u came to start a fight id fuck u up too
Jun 20, 2012
And Jorge chose his outcome. Either way if you go looking for trouble you will find trouble.
Jun 20, 2012
Actually Johnathan you dumb ass. The black panthers were not racists it was proven they were taking care of the black people when no one else gave a shit. They fed the hungry and fought for MY rights as a citizen. Yes, there was a lot of hatred for white men back then…why is that? Bc they did not have any rights. I am a teacher and grew up in a white neighborhood bc the black panthers existed. Thank god bc people like you would love for segregation to still be a thing.
Jun 20, 2012
WOW WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS IN FLORIDA YOU CAN KILL SOMEONE AND MAKE A WEB PAGE AND RASIE $200,000.00.
FOR YOUR DEFENSE. BUT YOU WANT TO EXPAND YOUR BUSINESS RASIE $20,000.00 HIRE 10 PEOPLE AND HAVE THEM PAY TAXES GET SOME OFF UNEMPLOYMENT OR WELFARE YOU CAN NOT GET A DOLLOR FROM ANYONE WHAT WRONG WITH THIS WORLD!
Jun 20, 2012
Charlene Wanjiku Kimara nothing to do with Zimmerman's race lets be real people. He walked free because his daddy was a judge. Same way he was arrested for assaulting a cop but those charges got dropped. The whole justice system is corrupt. Does not matter who or what color you are. It comes down to who you are connected with.
Jun 20, 2012
If you would check your facts, it is really uncommon for Blacks to attack whites. It is mostly Black on Black crimes in the United States. If you are white, are more likely to be attacked by a white person than a Black person. When whites do get attacked by their own kind, it is usually by someone that they know or an acquaintance. Please read a book or at least the newspaper. White people may BLAME a black person for certain crimes, but in reality, you are more apt to get attacked by your own kind.
Jun 20, 2012
I HOPE WHEN HE GETS OUT OF JAIL HE GETS SHOTS HIM AND HIS WIFE.
Jun 20, 2012
Oh no but what has happened to Zimmerman was only a matter of time, chasing people down the street like a barking dog while biting at the tires of every car that goes by that doesn't look like his master's. asking people 'what are you doing around here? I am not saying Zimmerman is a dog, but he acted like a vicious dog off his leash and dogs that are vicious has to stay behind a fence on a leash or put down, because they are a danger to society
Jun 20, 2012
jcws3 Oh no but what has happened to Zimmerman was only a matter of time, chasing people down the street like a barking dog while biting at the tires of every car that goes by that doesn't look like his master's, and asking people, that's minding their own business ''what are you doing around here?'' Trayvon Martin father lived in that gated community. Now I am not saying Zimmerman is a dog but he acted like a vicious dog off his leash and dogs that are vicious has to be kept on a leash put behind a fence or put down, because they are a danger to society. I say keep him behind bars!
Jun 20, 2012
Because the trial hasn't started yet and another crime was commited in the process with Zimmerman and his wife that now has to be addressed.
Jun 20, 2012
Well I wouldn't want that to happen but he may never get out of jail, we will have to wait and see and if he does I don't know how great his life will be.
Jun 20, 2012
jcws3 These kind of statements are like feathers blowing in the wind, they carry no weight and are like the chaff which the wind drives away for God knows about the life of the innocent but the life of the ungodly shall be judged. Trayvon Martin's father lived in that gated community and because Zimmerman chose to continue to harass people going about their daily lives it has brought alot of trouble to him and his entire family including his wife and now he is facing something that has a price tag on it that he may not be able to pay. What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his freedom or what shall a man give in exchange for his freedom? His freedom should have meant more to him than trying to hold on to a few thousand dollars by lying to the court and as a result he's back in jail and now his wife may lose her freedom. Whatsoever a man sows that shall be also reap!
Jun 20, 2012
Well spike lee already made an out of court settlement with the Zimmerman's.
Jun 21, 2012
After the Sentinel contacted Owen, he used software called Easy Voice Biometrics to compare Zimmerman’s voice to the 911 call screams. “I took all of the screams and put those together, and cut out everything else,” Owen says. The software compared that audio to Zimmerman’s voice. It returned a 48 percent match. Owen said to reach a positive match with audio of this quality, he’d expect higher than 90 percent. “As a result of that, you can say with reasonable scientific certainty that it’s not Zimmerman,” Owen says, stressing that he cannot confirm the voice as Trayvon’s, because he didn’t have a sample of the teen’s voice to compare. The Sentinel said that Ed Primeau, a Michigan-based audio engineer and forensics expert, came to the same conclusion. “I believe that’s Trayvon Martin in the background, without a doubt,” Primeau says, stressing that the tone of the voice is a giveaway. “That’s a young man screaming.” Brittany Marie says: After listening to the tapes myself, I wasn’t sure who was yelling help. I thought it was Zimmerman. But now, once again, science has proven the truth! Sanford police should arrest Zimmerman based on this evidence. Shooting someone while they yell for help, that’s inhuman and cruel!
Jun 21, 2012
Any conversation bettween a man and his wife is private. Same as an attorney. Yes that was my primary concern. A wife can NOT be forced to testify against her husband in ANY court in the land. Therefrore this was HIGHLY inappropriate. As far as the shooting I think the punk got what he asked for and Zimmerman is the victim now.
Jun 21, 2012
Truthfully you are supposed to get your a** kickd when youstart trouble for no reason and it also shows that you are a COWARD also pu**y
Jun 21, 2012
for your information if you listened to the recordings they said at the beginning that this was being recorded just like when you call to dispute your credit card bill they say it is being monitored for quality control and so if the person handling your complaint gives you the wrong information and being your a geoge Zimmerman buff you need to know that nothing is private in jail
Jun 21, 2012
Rodney Barry oh you again well when you are in prison you have limited protections but once again when George pickd up that phone an operator came on and said that we have a collect call from whatever jail and that this is being recorded no violations he should have told her to put on her bullet proof vest and the bag over her face and then he wouldnt have this problem SORRY
Jun 21, 2012
life for him is already over because what goes around comes around and he never did anything when he wasnt in trouble but look for ways to get in trouble and he has found it and his behaviour since should give people an inkling about what type of person he really is someone who is about using people and trying to pretend he is a good guy he did all that neighborhood watch crap and playing Captain Watchman to set in motion what he did to Trayvon but he wont get away with it then he called 911 and still went after the kid gave a description and then at the bail hearing he tells the family he thought that Trayvon was around his age started lying out of the gate
Jun 21, 2012
when a black person slaughters a white person he goes to prison. It doesn't take 3 months to arrest him, there is no news. He goes to trial and except for OJ he gets a court appointed attorney and goes to prison.
Jun 21, 2012
the boy was 17 yrs old you are just like the rest of people who just assume that he was a gangsta I am sure that when you were a teenager your mentality is not the way it was now you are supporting Zimmerman but you are entitled to your opinion but remember this that I know you have done things you dont want people to know aout but God sees all and you need to remember that you were a child once and he didnt have a criminal record we know George did and we know George disrespected people also and was full of himself be openminded about whats goin on here
Jun 21, 2012
jcws3 if you go on all these web pages kids and grown ups have these crazy names and alot of these adults pot alot of thier busines that they shouldnt that is why employers are now violating thier freedom to have an oinion you are helping
Jun 21, 2012
jcws3 hey I forgot i call myself zootybang what does that make me a crazy black guy or someone just choosing a handle he likes look at Zimmermans life never kept a job took the law into his own hands you forget that he could have called it in like you would not have probaly done but I know for a fact you wouldnt walk up to anyone and start a confrontation peace keep it real
Jun 28, 2012
Robert—I have never been in prison– and if an announcement of recording is made. Then I have no issue with the recording of the conversation by the authorities.. But why would it be public?
Jun 29, 2012
He was not a burglar you fool or a self proclaimed gangsta like yourself. He was a kid. Christian Nation, I don't think so. God fearing nation, by these actions it going to be a definite no!. Hater stop hating!!
Jun 29, 2012
@Rodney Barry, because the bible says theirs nothing hidden that won't be revealed. It also says that God himself will see to his own word and perform it. But where is all this hate coming from, I can tell you not from God but the devil. So who do you serve, God(love) or the devil(hate)?
Jun 29, 2012
@Shawanie Amos, two wrongs don't make a right. The bible says don't render evil for evil. It also says the hole you dig for someone else is the hole you fall in yourself. Don't dig your own pitfalls in life with evil deeds. Hate is very contagious, it's a disease that ruins everything it touches. Learn to love in spite of others evil actions and forgiveness is a must if you want peace. Don't be a hater.
Jun 29, 2012
Yea that is so true and I fully understand the zeal for revenge especially in the case of the wrongful death of TrayVon Martin but God has said vengeance is mine I shall repay saith the Lord and as you have stated we are not to dig a hole for some else because we may be the one to fall in it. Thanks for that true Word!
