As NBC's Kerry Sanders reports, George Zimmerman's legal team says newly-released video of Trayvon Martin's killer re-enacting the shooting with investigators helps support their claim of self-defense.
George Zimmerman, charged with second-degree murder in the killing of black teen Trayvon Martin, poses no threat to the community and should be released a second time on bail, his attorney said in a court motion released on Monday.
Defense attorney Mark O’Mara asked that Zimmerman be granted bond as he awaits a trial in the 17-year-old Martin's shooting death during a confrontation in February in a gated community in Sanford, Fla. O’Mara says Zimmerman isn't a flight risk and stayed in touch with law enforcement during his initial release on bail.
A judge will consider the request at a second bond hearing Friday.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defense.
