However, if it turns out that Zimmerman knowingly had two passports in his possession and intentionally only handed over one of them, then Zimmerman once again will be shown to have little respect for the Judge and the justice system that he was ostensibly trying to aid when he followed Trayvon Martin in the dark.

The question of having two passports and only surrendering one goes to the question of whether Zimmerman defends law and order or thumbs his nose at it, expecting to get away with it.  Thumbing one’s nose at a judge and the justice system are more serious crimes in America than shooting down a Black man unnecessarily.  

‘Zimmerman’s honesty and his judgment are at the heart of the substance of his shooting of Trayvon Martin.  By clearly lying to the judge in a way that is demonstrable, Zimmerman angered the judge, won the judge’s personal animosity, and cast doubt on his own honesty in a way that will linger throughout the proceedings, including the stage in which the judge decides whether the “Stand Your Ground” law prevents the case from reaching a jury at all.’

Here’s the thing.

I remember when he “disappeared” the first time (before he eventually surrendered himself to police).  That was when the website asking for donations first went up.  It was also around the same time that his first defense team was canned.  Of course, while this happened, the “oh so fair” news media focused more on the Martin family’s attempt to trademark “I Am Trayvon” (done in response to the usual money-grubbing poachers who descend on tragedies like this one) and disappeared Zimmerman’s fund-raising website story shortly thereafter.

As far as the bond hearing goes, always remember that ALL defendants, including well-connected, well-heeled, well-financed ones, will claim indigence and poverty. I can only surmise that the money was deposited in an account that did not have George or Shellie Zimmerman’s name listed on it in an attempt to keep the authorities from finding out.

It feels like there is another shoe that’s going to drop regarding this matter.

This is going to end up on a Police Procedural when this is all over.
