JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The latest round of evidence in the murder case against George Zimmerman will be released beginning Monday, according to the State Attorney's Office.

Zimmerman is charged with second degree murder of Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman claims he shot the 17-year-old in self-defense in February.

A judge ordered the release of the evidence by June 27. But State Attorney Angela Corey says some of the information will come out next week.

It initially included access to more than 150 jailhouse calls and transcripts, new crime scene photos except those that show Trayvon's body, and additional witness statements to police.  But in a development late Friday afternoon, the State Attorney's Office said Zimmerman's attorney is filing a motion to block the release of some of Zimmerman's jailhouse calls.  Therefore, only six of Zimmerman's calls will be released.
