"He is in custody now," O'Mara said of Zimmerman, 28."He's going to remain there until we get back before JudgeLester if and when he grants us a bond hearing. It sounded like hemight consider it. But that is going to be based upon the motionitself." O'Mara went on to say Sunday that he thinks the defense"explanation, or apology if it is, should go directly to theperson who deserves it, in this case that is Judge Lester." "Again, (we are) just hoping that the judge will give us anaudience so we can further explain away why what happened seems tohave happened," O'Mara said. The judge on Friday gave Zimmerman two days to surrender, and about40 minutes before the 2:30 p.m. Sunday deadline, the SeminoleCounty jail website listed Zimmerman as an inmate. He was beingheld without bail and had $500 in his jail account, the websiteshowed. A new booking photo showed a clean-shaven Zimmerman, with afuller head of hair than the crew cut he sported in his Aprilbooking photo. Seminole County Sheriff Donald Eslinger said Zimmerman turnedhimself in to two sheriff's deputies around 1:25 p.m. near thejail, and was then driven there. "He is quiet and cooperative," Eslinger said at a newsconference after Zimmerman's surrender. The sheriff's office said Zimmerman would be in a cell by himself,separated from the general population, because the case is sohigh-profile. Zimmerman will not have access to a TV. Prosecutors said last week that Zimmerman and his wife told thejudge at a bond hearing in April that they had limited money, eventhough he had raised about $135,000 through a website set up forhis legal defense.
