Judge revokes Zimmerman's bail release: Family misled re finances, and Zimmerman has a second passport

"A judge revoked bond today for George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of a Florida teenager in his gated community, and ordered him to surrender himself in 48 hours.

Prosecutors had filed a motion today to revoke his bond, accusing Zimmerman of "deceiving" the court about his finances and his possession of a second passport, which he apparently acquired two weeks after the shooting.

...

The new documents show that Zimmerman had $135,000 in his bank account the day before his bail hearing -- in which he declared himself financially indigent.

..."

So, he acquired another passport AFTER he shot Trayvon Martin? Wasn't that before he was arrested for shooting Trayvon Martin, meaning he had the passport prior to the bond hearing?

When you are testifying at a bond hearing, and you don't tell the truth, is that perjury? Are people under oath at bond hearings? Am curious about that part of this little wrinkle.

Flight risk when you hide the fact that you have a backup passport? Seems possible, doesn't it.
