Based on the bail revocation motion:

4/17: From Post #21:
In a prison conversation, he said, "I think my passport in is that bag"; she said, "I have one for you in safety deposit box"; and he said, "Okay, you hold onto that."

4/20: First passport (expiration May 2012) turned over to the court.

5/1 (approximately): Zimmerman and wife find second passport (valid through May 2014) while cleaning house, and give it to O'Mara.

6/1: Bail revocation motion filed. Bail revocation hearing. O'Mara says he has had the second passport for about a month, but forgot to turn it in. He turns it over to the court.

6/1: Bail revocation motion filed. O'Mara reads in the motion that Zimmerman has a second passport, and about "prison talk" which leaves the impression that it's being concealed deliberately. O'Mara contacts Zimmerman and shrieks, "GET THAT PASSPORT THE #*%$ OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!!!" O'Mara turns in passport at revocation hearing, and takes the rap in an effort to preserve Zimmerman's credibility.

When he turned over the first passport it was not expired. former9thward Jun 2012 #10
Expired or not that is irrevelant. vaberella Jun 2012 #28
You are making a lot of assumptions. former9thward Jun 2012 #31
I have issues that a supposedly competent lawyer makes a mistake like that. vaberella Jun 2012 #32
I read that he applied for another passport quite recently because the other was "lost" librechik Jun 2012 #19

So this all occurred prior to the 4/23/12 bond hearing? Sheepshank Jun 2012 #11
The prosecutor might have chosen not to bring it forth at the bond hearing. msanthrope Jun 2012 #14
That is my thought, as well. 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2012 #16

If it's true, he could be cited for contempt. So he better hope the judge thinks it's bs, too. n/t EFerrari Jun 2012 #17
