Zimmerman verdict: Not Guilty.

[Rahul]

According to official law the fatality was not Zimmerman's fault. And I agree with that.

So if someone breaks into my house and I shoot him, is it my fault that he's dead?

Did you see somebody else shoot him dead?

Although I agree with you, I think the word 'fault' may not be the best choice of words...at least not without mitigating circumstances being addressed.

I would say that it's the intruder's fault for breaking into your house and getting his ass shot.

Again, fault is a word best not bandied about without due consideration of facts.

I think this is where much of the teeth gnashing comes from...in this case, and in this thread.

We are going to hear about this guy in the future.

LAKE MARY, Fla. (AP) - The sobbing wife of George Zimmerman called 911 on Monday to report that her estranged husband was threatening her with a gun and had punched her father in the nose, but hours later she decided not to press charges against the man acquitted of all charges for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin.

Only a matter of time.

Shellie Zimmerman, 26, who has filed for divorce, initially told a 911 dispatcher that her husband had his hand on his gun as he sat in his car outside the home she was at with her father. She said she was scared because she wasn't sure what the 29-year-old Zimmerman was capable of doing. Hours later she changed her story and said she never saw a firearm, said Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell.

For the time being, "domestic violence can't be invoked because she has changed her story and says she didn't see a firearm," Bracknell said.

"We didn't find a gun," Lake Mary police spokesman Zach Hudson said late Monday night. "We didn't find anything that indicated he had a gun on his person."

Doesn't really surprise me. Shellie Zimmerman lied during her husband's trial out of greed after all...

As people go, no one was likeable in the entire Zimmerman affair.

I have little surprise at the allegations and dropping the charges.

It could go either way with regards to the veracity if the matter.

People forget that Zimmerman killed someone - that comes at a cost to oneself and others. If it didn't, we'd never have problems with war veterans...

Ask a cop what kind of call he hates most and he'll tell you a domestic dispute. Half the time when they arrive the complainant has calmed down and tells them that nothing happened.

This guy Zimmerman is an attention-whore. This is going to end badly.

This guy Zimmerman is an attention-whore. This is going to end badly.

How is he an attention whore exactly? You think he goes around phoning up the media when he gets pulled over for speeding or has an argument with his wife? Heck, I don't think he's done any proper interviews with anyone since he was acquitted. If anything, his brother is the one seeking out attention; George Zimmerman has been hiding away for weeks.
