It\u2019s more than most people earn in a year. Most of George\u2019s living expenses for the first several months were allocated to providing a safe, secure place for George and his wife Shellie, to live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(Shellie Zimmerman is in trouble of her own. In April, she was arrested on suspicion of perjury after telling a judge at her husband\u2019s bond hearing that they were broke. Prosecutors say the couple had raised $130,000 in the previous two weeks. Her case has not yet gone to trial.)<\/p>\n<p>Zimmerman, they said, also spent some $56,000 on security, $76,000 on legal costs, and another 10 grand or so on miscellaneous expenses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And on 30 May 2013 the <a href=\"http:\/\/newsfeed.time.com\/2013\/05\/30\/trayvon-martin-murder-trial-george-zimmermans-defense-fund-is-almost-broke\/\">Times reported<\/a>: In January, the defense fund had raised more than $314,000 through public donations. Now it&#8217;s asking for $120,000 more.<br \/>\nAlmost half a million in public donations. $10,000 spent on miscellaneous expenses.
