Actually, it sounds like Zimmerman misled the court about his financial status. My guess is that it was by accident - that he didn’t know exactly what the money collected for his defense could be used for.

Getting a second passport, however, is a reasonable sign someone is considering fleeing, and would be important information for the judge to consider.

OTOH, if the tracking devices are good - and I don’t have any idea how reliable they are - then I’m not sure it matters. The point is to make sure he shows up for his trial, not to punish him in advance of his trial.

Would you please explain why having a second passport matters? Perhaps, he lost the first one?

Thanks for explaining!
