Are you dreaming?
Zimmerman did not state anything about the money before Wednesday. The court didn't ask him, and his lawyer didn't ask him. He volunteered the information himself. Check what his lawyer said.
They asked him if he had any money. He claimed he was indigent. Why is that so hard to understand? He lied. He had money. $204,000 to be exact. He had to sign a statement saying he was indigent and had no income or assets. So he was asked. And he lied.
He told his lawyer when his back was against the wall. Just like he "voluntarily" turned himself in when he knew they were coming to get him.
