Prosecutors want George Zimmerman bail revoked

By NBC's Jamie Novogrod

Florida prosecutors Friday asked a judge to revoke the bail for George Zimmerman, who is facing second-degree murder charges in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Prosecutors accused Zimmerman, 28, of holding a second U.S. passport that he did not surrender to the court and alleged he misled the court regarding his finances when $150,000 bail was granted April 20.

The state attached a copy of the application for that passport to its motion. The state claims in its motion that Zimmerman obtained the second passport after filing a claim that his original passport had been lost or stolen. 


Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, conceded there was a second passport, saying, "It's not devious or inappropriate" to have a second passport if first one is lost or stolen. He said the second passport has never been stamped.

He said Zimmerman filed for a second passport after thinking he had lost his first one; Zimmerman later discovered he had not lost the first one. O'Mara said it's his fault court did not have the second passport earlier.

The revocation motion was filed as a hearing opened on the confidentiality of evidence in the case, including Zimmerman’s statement to police.

Assistant State Attorney Bernie de la Rionda asked that the names of witnesses be sealed.

He told Judge Kenneth Lester that the case is being tried in the public court as opposed to the court of law, partially due to social media -- including Twitter and other technologies that he added he has "never heard of."
