If in fact Zimmerman did not declare nor hand in the second passport (Peruvian, most likely), then the courts can not look kindly onto that fact alone

No. It's a genuine US Passport, in fact Zimmerman's real US Passport.

Back story: His original passport was issued in 2002. In 2004 he reported it strayed, and was issued a replacement.

Sometime later, the original came out of hiding, a fact George was aware of.

Jailhouse call between George and wife 17 April
Z: Do you know what? I think my passport is in that bag.
Z's Wife: I have one for you in saftey deposit box...
Z: OK, you hold onto that

The bag (which he packed prior to turning himself in) passport was the 2002 original, as is clear from O'Mara's statement to the court on April 20

O'Mara: This is my client's current passport, the only passport that he has. It does expire May of 2012, but I did want to acknowledge it and surrender it to the court at this time.

This would look a slamdunk against George, except his lawyer has thrown himself on the grenade and declared that he know about said passport, prepared a letter informing the court, and prepared to hand it over, then forgot.

Whatever the judge thinks of that story, he can't really pursue it without sanctioning the lawyer and depriving George of his counsel, a complication this case does not need at this time.

Wouldn't the replacement passport have the same expiration date? Some countries won't let you enter unless there is a certain length of time before the expiration date (like six months).

Leftists believe that the judicial system should be subject to politics. That's true in totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany and the Communist countries. This is supposed to be a show trial, like those held in the USSR in the 1930s or in the satellite countries after 1945. The target is not Zimmerman although he has been chosen to be the sacrificial lamb--the target is the American people and particularly those who believe in the rule of law.

Thank you for sharing. There is nothing good in this account of the story.

Courts will not be kind in this matter.

Am sure George feared for his life, but you can't play that game under these circumstances. And the attorney's scheme . . . I ain't buying, doubt if the judge will either. very sad turn of events
