Always accused and never convicted, George Zimmerman remains
under tight scrutiny by the press and law enforcement. Since his acquittal earlier this year in the
case of the shooting of Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman has been pulled over at least
twice for speeding. This week he was
taken into police custody for a domestic dispute with his estranged wife,
Shellie Zimmerman. He was released after
Shellie and her father decided not to press charges.
The incident occurred when Shellie and her father arrived at
the former Lake Mary, Florida home of the Zimmerman couple to retrieve some items. Mrs. Zimmerman, who filed for divorce a week
ago, was in the process of taking items from the home when Zimmerman arrived
and began taking pictures of her for records.
There was an altercation with Mrs. Zimmerman’s father, but no serious
injuries were reported. Several of Mr.
Zimmerman’s friends were also at the home but did not see the altercation take
place.
Shellie Zimmerman was convicted of perjury shortly before
she moved out of the home she shared with her husband. She apparently lied about the couple’s
financial situation during Mr. Zimmerman’s bail hearing.
George Zimmerman’s attorney Mark O’Mara, who was recently
hired by CNN to be a legal analyst, said that the incident was nothing out of
the ordinary for a divorcing couple. He
maintains the George Zimmerman did nothing wrong. And iPad that Shellie was reportedly
recording on was smashed beyond repair, and police say that without the video
there is no evidence to arrest Zimmerman.

stand your ground laws in Florida protected Zimmerman from a conviction.
