Judge Kenneth Lester granted George Zimmerman a $150,000 bond on Friday as he awaits trial for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester said Zimmerman cannot have any firearms, drink alcohol or use drugs and must observe a curfew. Zimmerman will also have to wear an electronic monitoring device.

Lester said Zimmerman will not be released on Friday.

Zimmerman made a statement during the bond hearing to Martin's parents.

"I am sorry for the loss of your son," Zimmerman said. "I didn't know how old he was. I thought  he was a little bit younger than I was and I did not know if he was armed."

Zimmerman was also questioned by prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda about the night of Martin's shooting death.

"I felt sorry that they loss their child," Zimmerman said to the court.

"Why did you wait so long to tell them [Martin's parents] ?" asked de la Rionda.

"I was told not to communicate with them," Zimmerman replied.

Lester said there is a possibility Zimmerman will be allowed to go out of state because of worries about his safety, but details need to be worked out among the attorneys and law enforcement.

An investigator and members of Zimmerman's family were also called to testify.

Zimmerman's wife, his father and his mother spoke to the court over a notarized telephone conference in Zimmerman's behalf.

Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara first began questioning Zimmerman's wife, Shellie Zimmerman. She said she does not believe her husband is a danger to the community. She also stated that she would make sure that her husband was not a flight risk. 

De la Rionda began questioning Shellie Zimmerman about her husband's past and their current financial state. She stated that  neither of them are collecting unemployment. Shellie Zimmerman said she knew her husband was being monitored by the police while he was in hiding in another state. She said Zimmerman's brother set up the website soliciting money from the public.

De la Rionda questioned Shellie Zimmerman about the injunction that was filed against George Zimmerman by his former girlfriend in the early 2000's. Shellie said she was aware of the injunction.

Shellie also said that she has received hate mail, but no threats. Shellie said she does not believe her husband has anger management problems.

Then, O'Mara began questioning George Zimmerman's father, Robert Zimmerman Sr. He stated that he would take responsibility to make sure that Zimmerman maintained all conditions of his bond. Robert Zimmerman Sr. is a disabled veteran. He said he would take on a second mortgage with his home to secure his son's release.

Zimmerman's mother, Gladys Zimmerman, began speaking with O'Mara about her son's bond status. She told O'Mara that they have received a lot of threats.

De la Rionda questioned Gladys Zimmerman about her son's previous arrest in 2005.

Dale Gilbreath, an investigator with the State Attorney's Office, was called to the stand to testify. He told O'Mara that he had not planned on testifying and only had the proper cause affidavit with him. He is one of the two investigators on the case.  O'Mara began questioning him about the affidavit and certain words that were used within that document.

An attorney for Martin's parents spoke with WFTV after the hearing.

"Sabryna and Tracy Martin would give their lives right now to get Trayvon back, and I think that's what you saw in the court room today when Tracy Martin continually wept in that proceeding," said Benjamin Crump. "Zimmerman's parents only have to put up $15,000 and they get to be with their son. That's 10 percent of $150,000. Travon's parents would give their lives right now to get Trayvon back."

The family's attorneys said the family is outraged that Zimmerman will only have to pay $15,000 to be out of jail.

"This is the most disingenuous, insincere thing that I have ever seen. It was insulting to the family who was sitting there grieving," said attorney Nathalie Jackson.

Meanwhile, ABC News exclusively obtained a graphic photograph of Zimmerman's head covered in blood that was taken just three minutes after the shooting that left Martin dead.

The photograph appears to be the first publicly disclosed piece of evidence that could help support Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense. Sources tell ABC News that investigators have seen the photograph and are aware of the photographer’s story.

The person who took the photograph told ABC News he heard Martin and Zimmerman fighting before the shooting and that after Martin was killed,  Zimmerman asked the photographer to call Zimmerman’s wife, allegedly blurting out, "Man, just tell her I shot someone."

GPS and other data embedded in the photo shows it was taken at the scene with an iPhone just three minutes after the shooting, according to ABC News.

ABC News said the photographer told them that gunpowder marks were clearly visible on Martin’s hooded sweatshirt.

WFTV learned that as the process for Zimmerman's trial ramps up, taxpayers will likely foot the bill for his defense.

"He is indigent for cost. He doesn't have any money and there's a process in place that allows the state to assist in paying costs, not attorney's fees," said O'Mara.

Former WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer will return to his role to provide in-depth analysis of the Zimmerman bond hearing.

Sheaffer recently left WFTV to run for judge, but he later decided against running for family reasons.
