    Trayvon Killer Out Of Jail On \$1m Bond

    A neighbourhood watch volunteer who shot an unarmed black teenager in Florida has left jail after being released on a \$1m (£646,000) bail.

    George Zimmerman walked out of Seminole County jail less than 24 hours after a judge rubber-stamped the decision.

    He has been charged with second degree murder over the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February.

    The victim's mother said on Friday that she was disappointed a judge had decided to grant a second bail.

    Zimmerman's earlier bond of \$150,000 (£97,000) was revoked after prosecutors said he misled the court over his finances.

    Trayvon's mother Sybrina Fulton said knowing her son's killer "may walk free sometime, one day, it really hurts".

    Tight security restrictions have been placed on Zimmerman for his second release.

    He will be electronically monitored and has been banned from leaving the county and ordered to stay away from Orlando International Airport.

    The shooting has inflamed racial tensions and divided opinion in the US.

    Zimmerman says he shot the teenager in self-defence during a fight.

    Florida police did not arrest him until six weeks after the shooting.

    The state's controversial "stand your ground law" allows the use of lethal force if a person feels seriously under threat.
