In reply to the discussion: Attorney: Zimmerman's bond request delayed [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)22. His other passport was not "expired." Where are you getting this stuff?
He told the feds he lost the passport. They issued a new one. The old one (which would have been "voided" in the system) had all appearances of being "current" to the court--unless they checked with the feds. Which I'm betting they did not do--and which I'm betting they will do as a matter of routine in the future! His wife had the other passport in a safe deposit box and he told her to hang on to it in a coded conversation on the jail phone.

According to the prosecution, Zimmerman a volunteer neighborhood watchman misrepresented, misled and deceived the court during a bond hearing regarding his U.S. passport and his familys financial situation.

He's still defending him with the picture he's painting. Poor, pitiful. Pitiful, yes. Poor, no.

I would hope that he is not being rewarded in any way. But the dead are unable to state their case.

They might be using that for a defense, I bet he might wish he had a blood test that night.
