held on $3 million bond. the l.a. county coroner says heart failure led to the death of andrew breitbart. he was connected to controversy surrounding anthony weiner had an enlarged heart and heart disease. he died last month at 43. trayvon martin's family's attorney say they are devastated by a judge's decision to set bond for george zimmerman. here is how the judge summed up his decision. >> good thing about practicing law in florida, as a judge, prosecutor and he defense attorneys we have lots of experience. what i'm going to do is find that the motion is well-taken, i'll grant the motion, set bond in the amount of $150,000. >> we go now to sanford, florida where we find martin savage, good morning to you, martin. zimmerman could be released as early as today. are there any details yet where he might go? >> reporter: only a few, randi,
3:33 am
good morning. the attorney has been asked several times specifically when will george zimmerman be getting out of the corrections facility and he said it would take a couple days. it's also possible we could be getting misinformation because the attorney does not want the media or the general public to know when george zimmerman gets out because of safety concerns. he has noted that it could take the family some time to raise the money, it will take time to work out the security arrangements. mark o'mara would like him to be moved out of florida. there will have to be telemetry to be worked up so they can track him. that will take time. he says there are a couple of spots they have scouted out but they are not saying where they are, randi. >> understandably, martin, the disappointment with the ruling, the judge didn't agree with prosecutors zimmerman is a threat to the community. what else is the family saying at this point and how might this
3:34 am
affect the prosecution's case? >> reporter: i think the family was probably under the realization that george zimmerman was going to get bond, didn't seem unlikely he would not. it's a constitutional right. in this case he didn't appear to be a threat to the community or risk to flight. they were upset with the apology george zimmerman surprised them with by getting up on the stand and taking an oath and coming out with that statement. and on top of that, they were clearly unhappy with the arrangements that have been made. it always appears that george zimmerman get the breaks and their son and the investigation and their pursuit of justice that does not seem to get traction. they were clearly upset, they did not speak, the attorney ben crump, did talk and said the family was absolutely devastated by the decision of the judge. >> it was really something to watch him on the stand, talk yesterday at this hearing and you say there is something george zimmerman said yesterday that contradicts what he told police on the night of the shooting.
3:35 am
what was it and what might it mean once the trial begins? >> reporter: there were a couple things that stood out, number one it amend the state was totally unprepared and they did not seem to have the hard evidence that many expected to come out against george zimmerman to justify keeping him locked up. but then on top of that you had george zimmerman get up there and makes a statement that he does and at one point he says he was sorry for the death of trayvon martin, and also said that he thought that trayvon martin was just slightly younger in age than george zimmerman was. if you go back to the 911 call, you heard george zimmerman when he's directly asked by the dispatcher to describe the person he's reporting their age, he says he looks to be in his late teens. so that is a contradiction likely to come back and haunt george zimmerman if we ever get to a trial. >> what did you make of george zimmerman's father trying to paint the picture at the hearing his son is not a violent man? well, it's family and family of course is wanting to get george zimmerman out from behind
3:36 am
bars, they are going to clearly paint him in a very, very positive light, his mother also spoke very well of her son, you can't blame a family for doing that and wanting to see their son get out, but on the other hand, that family will be responsible for george zimmerman. in other words if they feel in any way, shape or form he's violating his parole they are supposed to report and turn their own son. >> martin savage, thank you very much. to politics mitt romney has pretty much sewn up the republican nomination. there is one big decision, who to pick as the number two. cnn political editor paul steinhouser breaks down the possible running mates. >> good morning, randi. the biggest guessing game in politics, who is on mitt romney's list as the all but certain republican presidential nominee, searches for a running mate. >> everybody is on my list, i'm not taking anybody off the list,
3:37 am
all right? i actually -- i don't have a list, yet. >> romney has until the convention in august to decide and since he's not giving anything away we thought we would ask republicans across the country who they would like to see as their party's vice presidential nominee. people to choose from eight candidate who romney may be considering. according to our cnn poll, condoleezza rice tops the list, 26% saying they would like to see her as the running mate. she says she is not interested. second on the list, former senator rick santorum, who just last week suspended his bid for the gop presidential nomination and who hasn't endorsed romney yet. let's be honest, this is a name recognition question. you need more proof? rob portman from the crucial battleground state of ohio who many in siders think could be on any romney short list, he didn't crack 1% in our poll. >> i'll help him in ohio as we did in the primary i think he will win ohio. >> popular freshman senator
