By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 23:47 EST, 2 June 2012 | UPDATED: 00:01 EST, 3 June 2012 The credibility of Trayvon Martin's shooter could become an issue at trial after a Florida judge said that George Zimmerman and his wife lied to the court about their finances to obtain a bond, legal experts say. That's because the case hinges on jurors believing Zimmerman's account of what happened the night that the 17-year-old Martin was killed. 'The other key witness, unfortunately, is deceased,' said Orlando-area attorney Randy McClean, a former prosecutor. 'Basically, Zimmerman is going to be asking the jury to believe his version of the facts. ... As the case stands now, his credibility is absolutely critical to the case.'
