After using the money from his defense fund to post 10 percent of his $1 million bond, George Zimmerman has holed up in a safe house with 24-hour protection from a private security team. Zimmerman will remain in hiding as he awaits trial after being charged with second-degree murder for killing Trayvon Martin back in February.

Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara said that his client is somewhere in Seminole County, Fla., and will be required to remain within the county. He's forbidden from obtaining a passport, opening a bank account, and traveling to the airport. He's being monitored by an electronic device and has a 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew.

Many wondered how Zimmerman was able to post the million dollar bond. He received $20,000 in donations in one day to an account that already had over $200,000. His original $150,000 bond was revoked in June after prosecutors claimed he and his wife lied to the court about their financial status.
