I think anyone woman who would get involved with George Zimmerman right after his acquittal has issues or ulterior motives; regardless of the fact that she'd known him for several years prior. The girlfriend and her mom may well be opportunistic scammers. IDK.
If so, I hope it doesn't affect prosecutors ability to convince a judge or jury that Zimmerman did indeed pull a gun and smash a table (I believe he did) so that he can be convicted of a felony.
I also think George Zimmerman had a gun, which he stashed before LE showed up, when he confronted his wife and her father in September at the home they'd rented from her parents.
I can find no reasonable explanation for O'Mara to tell Andersen Cooper that same night, on national television, that George was definitely carrying and touching the gun inside his shirt (consistent with Shellie's statement) if George didn't tell him that himself immediately following the incident.
I can see every reason for George to lie about the fact that he had a gun on him at the time - contradicting what he'd already told O'Mara - once it became clear it would just be a case of he says/she says and there was no evidence to prove that he was threatening with a gun. The fact that he'll lie and have others lie for him to cover his ass or get his way is undisputed - proven by the recorded calls of him advising his wife to stash money and lie under oath.
Zimmerman didn't leave his wife's parents' home when things got heated; he could have. Zimmerman didn't leave his girlfriend's home when things got heated; he could have - instead, he chose to lock her out (or himself in) barricaded by furniture and call 911 so that his version of events could be made public quickly. These facts are undisputed.
Zimmerman was accused of domestic violence against a girlfriend many years ago. He assaulted an officer who was arresting his friend and was mandated to attend anger management classes. These facts are undisputed. IMO, those classes were nowhere near enough to address Zimmerman's passive-aggressive control issues.
It's confirmed that Shellie wasn't at home the night Zimmerman shot Trayvon because the couple had an argument and she left. He'd lost control of her.
Soon after, George encountered a teen who George thought didn't belong on HIS turf. He could have followed the very clear protocols set up by Neighborhood Watch - don't pursue. He chose not to do so, just like he chose to engage rather than diffuse conflict in both alleged domestic disputes. In all cases, IMO, having a gun to empower him. Trayvon wasn't an unarmed woman and he chose to fight with George (either proactively or in self defense); George chose to shoot him to death.
I'm not gonna bash the jury because I don't know if George was (irrationally, IMO) in fear for his life and putting up any kind of fist fight before resorting to shooting would have been beyond "exhausting all other reasonable alternatives" for such a pussy. I think the jury followed the law and made a decision based on the evidence presented - and O'Mara put on a hell of a case (whereas the state was weak). It is what it is.
Long story long
, at the very least, I want to see George Zimmerman deprived of legally running around cocked and loaded given his history and what I consider his ticking time bomb disposition. He needs help; I hope he gets it. I don't think George Zimmerman became a paranoid control freak as a result of the Trayvon Martin killing and trial. I think George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin and went to trial because he is a paranoid control freak. No one else should die at the hands of George Zimmerman.
