ORLANDO, Fla. — In a half-dozen phone calls between a locked-up George Zimmerman and his wife, the couple talk about their love for each other, their confidence in the future and how to move around money, recordings released Monday reveal.
Special Prosecutor Angela Corey released audio of six phone calls between Zimmerman and his wife.
Prosecutors allege they prove that Shellie Zimmerman lied when she told a judge that she and her husband were broke.
The recordings reveal that Zimmerman, from his jail cell, gave his wife step-by-step instructions on how to change a password and clear security questions so that she could move money from one account to others.
Prosecutors allege the couple spoke in code to move money from an Internet PayPal account that was being flooded with donations for Zimmerman.
George Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Trayvon Martin and has pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors allege the couple had access to at least $130,000 when Zimmerman was freed from jail on $150,000 bail. The couple’s bank statements were also released Monday. They show numerous transfers between the PayPal account, George Zimmerman’s bank account and his wife’s account.
On April 16, the same time prosecutors say the Zimmermans were talking in code on the phone, records show transfers out of Zimmerman’s account. The Orlando Sentinel
