George Zimmerman was released from the Seminole County Jail about 2:50 p.m ET Friday after posting $1 million bond in the Trayvon Martin case. Zimmerman, 28, was wearing a gray suit as he stepped into an SUV and was driven off, NBC News reported.
A Florida judge ruled last week that Zimmerman could be released from jail a second time on $1 million bond, saying he set the bail amount higher because Zimmerman may have been hiding money.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the Feb. 26 shooting death of Trayvon Martin, 17, inside a gated community in Sanford, Fla.
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, pleaded not guilty and told police he acted in self-defense after Martin punched him and knocked his head against the pavement.
