Just to throw in my two cents... Before the jury ever reached a verdict, I could not see a way that Zimmerman could be found guilty. There was too much evidence suggesting he acted in self-defense, and not enough evidence to suggest anything else. None of this means that Zimmerman was "innocent", merely that the evidence against him was insufficient.

Whether Zimmerman has since had domestic violence charges is really irrelevant to the Zimmerman/Martin trial. If in the future Zimmerman is convicted of an act of murder or manslaughter, that still does not mean that the Zimmerman/Martin trial was a case of justice gone awry. Nor does it mean that Trayvon Martin was considered a "thug", thus allowing Zimmerman to walk.

George must have PTS. He is a troubled soul. Whether his shoot was justified or not can be debated till the cows come home; George is not handling life very well.

One can argue if it was before the shooting or after, but It would be hard to argue he has handled the after-stress well.

George is in more trouble than just this current arrest.

From the article:

"George Zimmerman has been arrested and is en route to the Seminole County Jail, according to Sheriff Don Eslinger."

"WESH-Channel 2 reported that Zimmerman was accused of domestic violence by a girlfriend."

More here:

http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/authorities-ca...nce-involving-george-zi/nbwzk/

"Channel 9 has confirmed George Zimmerman has been arrested on domestic violence charges in Seminole County on Monday."
So what is your point? No one ever claimed he was an alter boy???

Is that how far back we have to go to cite someone on the "other team" that allegedly got away with it?
How long is the "other side's" list? Oh, just one -Just OJ?

I heard the other list, end to end, is long enough to wrap around the entire globe.

That's from the article.

Nothing to see her folks. Just a trigger happy nut-job.
I bet the righties will try to say it was all for self defense.

No doubt he'll be spending significant time behind bars in the years to come. Society is safer that way.

Sounds like another incident no one will be able to prove.

We all knew ( most of us anyway) that George Zimmerman would be in trouble again. If you want to predict his future, take a look at his past.

If that makes Harrier a "Zimmerman supporter" in your mind, then so be it.

Zimmerman acted in self defense.

Justice was done.
I agree.
