Florida judge sets George Zimmerman bail at $150,000

The neighbourhood watch volunteer accused of murdering an unarmed black Florida teenager has been granted bail, set at $150,000 (£93,000).

George Zimmerman's defence lawyer asked that his client be allowed to reside out of state because of safety fears.

In the second appearance in court since his arrest, Mr Zimmerman told Trayvon Martin's parents he was sorry for the loss of their son.

He shot and killed the 17-year-old in a gated Florida community on 26 February.
