Fox News alert a Florida judge has just ruled.

In the second bond hearing for George Zimmerman and listen and that's the judge has set bail for mr.

Zimmerman at one million dollars.

This latest development comes on the heels of a newly released medical records.

From the 28 year -- first doctor's visit.

The morning after he allegedly shot while he did shoot seventy annual trade on -- -- questions.

Whether he did so in self defense and should be exonerated so the first doctor's report being revealed and -- detailing the full extent of the injuries mr.

Zimmerman sustained.

During their alleged why do we keep saying alleged during their fight.

There was a fight there was a shooting -- there was a death the only question is whether it was justified by self defense in these medical records may shed light on that Trace Gallagher.

Yeah -- to get medical records in 12 megabits Allergan is breaking news on the bond you were just talking about maybe you can help realities because it's awfully strange the judge Kenneth Lester issued a one million dollar bond but.

In his order submitting -- setting bail he says that it appears that George Zimmerman was getting ready to leave the country -- judge says with that.

Valid passport in the safety deposit box along with at a 135000.

Dollars that he never disclosed the judge says in the order and I'm quoting here if I can put this on the screen.

Although there is no record of flight to avoid prosecution.

This court finds that circumstances.

Indicate that the defendant was preparing to fleeing to avoid prosecution but such plans.

Were thwarted we have called government attorney Mark O'Meara he is now planning a statement.

We will get that hopefully in the minutes to come we'll share that with you now on to the medical records the medical records three pages long very interesting about his physical and as well as his mentally handling the shooting first the physical part as we know he had a broken nose two cuts to his scalp that did not need stitches he also had two black guys and he complained of pain to his neck his nose and his head but he refused to go to the hospital now remember.

-- -- -- -- -- -- Punched him in the face jumped on top them and beat his head against the concrete now.

The report did not recommend X rays and said there was no head trauma and he was referred to an ear throat and nose doctor but he declined to go now the only reason he went to the doctor in the first place was to get a note so he could go back to work.

Prosecutors say this exam shows that the injuries do not back up his claim.

That he endured a life threatening beating narrow report also notes the George Zimmerman is obese.

Five feet seven and a half inches tall 204 pounds he is four and a half inches shorter than -- -- on -- But outweighs him by 45 -- -- he was on managed to both elevating his mood as well as to calm him down.

The physician's assistant said Zimmerman claims it every time he thinks about the violence he gets nauseous she went on to say and I'm quoting here.

Given the type of trauma we discussed.

That it is imperative he be seen with his psychologist.

For a full of valuation and as you might imagine both sides in this case will use these medical records.

For their benefit.

Because this is going to be a big part to try.

That's right there's a lot to pick apart on both sides -- god that is -- nitrogen they describe the man is obese really I don't think most people looking at your ignorant think he's obese.

But that's and that's aside -- asked for your new point about the bail it's interesting Trace of the judge clearly thought that the room was a flight risk.

First time right -- yet he grants -- a second time around.

-- no one can only speculate that he believed now that he the judge has control of that passport and not mr.

Zimmerman.

And he's set bail at this level and now they have all of -- as the -- financing accounted for he may think he's less of a flight risk this time around.

Thank you TJ it's really -- then we become that will bring it to him and I think that in all.
