"A second bond hearing in the George Zimmerman case was held Friday morning, but no decision was made after nearly three hours.Zimmerman is being held on a second-degree murder charge in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.Judge Kenneth Lester said he would not immediately rule on whether to grant bond to Zimmerman. He did not indicate when he might make a decision, saying only that he needed time to weigh the evidence presented.\"I ask for some consideration that it is not the grand conspiracy that the state would suggest,\" said Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara.During the course of the bond hearing, Zimmerman's defense focused on trying to disprove the state has a strong case for second-degree murder. O'Mara entered into the court record a variety of evidence to try and prove Zimmerman has a strong self-defense claim and that Martin was the aggressor.\"He got shot and he was killed because of his own doing,\" said O'Mara.\u00A0The state also entered some evidence and said Zimmerman racially profiled Martin and that Zimmerman was trying to act like a police officer.\u00A0\"He runs after this person.  He takes him down, and our contention is that he's the aggressor,\" said state attorney Bernie De La Ronda.\u00A0The defense called Zimmerman's father to the stand to testify.Zimmerman's father, Robert Zimmerman, testified that he identified the screams heard in the background of a 911 call as his son's voice. The state said that Zimmerman had previously claimed Martin had his hand over his mouth, but Zimmerman's father said that wasn't an inconsistency.\u00A0\"From the looks of my son's injuries, Trayvon Martin's hands were just not on his nose and mouth,\" said Robert Zimmerman.O'Mara said Zimmerman wanted to make a statement to the court. Prosecutors objected and said if Zimmerman spoke, they would want to cross-examine him. The judge decided that if Zimmerman wanted to speak, he should testify on the stand and open himself up for questioning. \"So if he wants to testify, he's the same as everybody.  He can't pick and choose what he wants to say with respect to not being subject to cross-examination,\" said Lester.O'Mara and Zimmerman decided he wouldn't speak.Lester revoked Zimmerman's bond earlier this month after it came to light that he and his wife had misled the court regarding more than $130,000 donated to Zimmerman's legal defense fund. The judge said Zimmerman lacked respect for the law and ordered him to return to the Seminole County Jail, where he remains."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
