was the other passport expired?
he surrended his current passport. An expired passport hardly qualifies.
again the prosecution is playing childish games. The money has never been hidden.
it is unusual for a prosecutor to play this type of game. Particularly when the actual information is disclosed.
This prosecutor/msm wants the in custody visual for their story since the case is falling appart before their big lie driven eyes.
I'm not sure that's clear. I haven't seen any information about whether Zimmerman surrendered the original (cancelled) passport, or the replacement (current) passport.
He had two "current" passports. One issued in 2002 was reported lost or stolen, and he received a second passport in 2004. The one he turned in was the one reported lost or stolen. Not canceled, but probably not good for getting through immigration as it was flagged as a reported stolen or lost passport.
It does look like he was trying to sandbag the court on the money, too. Greed is pretty easy to fall into, especially when you have the money in your hands, after years of struggling to make ends meet. He figures he didn't do anything wrong on February 26th, and it likely pisses him off that the sate and the court are jailing him, etc. I expect he sees Lester and Corey as two fingers on the same hand - now both of them as adversaries.
Probably a good mindset to have, but he's not up to the task of pulling the wool over the court's eye's, and if he persists in that, it'll cost him more.
