What's a good reason a person would have two passports?

69. I can tell you that I heard something similar said on CNN yesterday.

The written stories we see on the net are more precise as to the timeline for acquiring the passport, but yesterday I heard that the valid passport was put in a safe deposit box by either him or his wife and the "bad" passport was turned in to the court.

There are also reports that he and his wife talked in CODE about the passport on the telephone.

Here is an ABC report that claims he got the passport two weeks AFTER the shooting--we know now that this is inaccurate:

Prosecutors had filed a motion today to revoke his bond, accusing Zimmerman of "deceiving" the court about his finances, even going so far as to discuss it in code words with his wife, and his possession of a second passport, which he apparently acquired two weeks after the shooting.

Look at the video at that link--it is very illuminating.

Here is a REUTERS report that is just one hour old:

...On Friday a judge revoked Zimmerman's $150,000 bond, posted in April while he was awaiting trial, after prosecutors accused him of withholding one of two valid passports and said his wife did not tell the court about money donated for his legal defense....

Prosecutors alleged in court on Friday that his wife knew about donations he had solicited for his defense on a website and collected through a PayPal account but did not mention the money at his bond hearing.

"The defendant's wife lied to this court," prosecutor Bernardo de la Rionda told the judge.

...

De La Rionda also told the court that when Zimmerman surrendered his passport to the court at his April 20 bond hearing, he did so knowing that he had a second unexpired passport.

I think it was unkind of you to assume "bad faith" on the part of the poster. Many people heard what that poster heard, because it was reported that way.
