I suppose. But it seems the notion there was intent to flee at all, is typical Corey prosecutory desperation.
"On the 26th when I first talked to George, coincidentally I was talking to him about the money and the check. ........ He forwarded to me in a fed ex package the second passport and the check at one time. As it turns out, we have good documentation that it came to me on the 26th."
How does this work? The same day? From out of state? And a check for how much?
It looks like on 4/12 the site is set up, and George also signs up with O'Mara. Interesting coinkydinky there...
George is released on 4/20.
So the question is how much of the Paypal funds were verified and transferable on that date. That amount is all George's wife would have been compelled to acknowledge. IMHO.
April 20th was the date of the bail hearing, and the date the bail amount was set. Zimmerman had been jailed since the 11th or 12th. Zimmerman's internet site (therealgeorgzimmerman.com) was "live" days before that, on April 9th.
Zimmerman was released on bail the night of April 22nd. So, from the 12th through the 22nd, whatever was done with PayPal account was done through his wife, and she seems to have had a handle on the funds accumulating there.
The first passport, the one reported lost or stolen in 2004, was turned over to the court on April 20th, during the bail hearing. The other one was in O'Mara's hands before a hearing before Lester on the following Friday, April 27th, but that hearing was on the press motions to unseal the court files. O'Mara brought up the existence of the website, to the court, at that hearing. (Judge wants to know more about Zimmerman finances | Fox News, April 27, 2012). But, O'Mara did not mention the second passport, which he says he had with him, in the courtroom, at the time.
With regard to the funds accumulated in the PayPal account, the judge's issue is that the family, Zimmerman's wife in particular, deliberately misled the court. He also assigns responsibility to George Zimmerman, based on his knowing (via his wife) that there was 135 thousand dollars or so (at the time those two spoke), and then not telling O'Mara or the court.
Good question about the check. Maybe O'Mara advanced some of the bail money to the bail bondsman, so Zimmerman could get out sooner. Days later, Zimmerman repays the advance. Ten thousand dollars came from the family, using their home as security for a loan, and I doubt they could arrange all of that between Friday, April 20, and Sunday, April 22rd.
