Court documents revealed that both George and his wife spent a huge amount of the donation money on a wide variety of bills and new purchases.
The couple dropped $6,500 on Internet and phone bills, new cells phones which cost $300 each, $1,300 for a two-year contract to AT&T Wi-Fi, installed a telephone landline for $2,500, paid off an entire year-long Version contract, and dropped at least $7,000 on various credit card bills.
According to The Miami Herald, the Zimmermans used their donation money on a even more payments including car payments, his bond, jail commissary, a loan for his parents as well as other things.
The Miami Herald reported:
“They used $4,378 on automotive expenses, making payments on two car loans while renting another for more than $1,500. Gas: $800.
