George Zimmerman Arrested Again In Central Florida [W:351]



Girlfriend wants charges dropped against Zimmerman

ORLANDO, Fla. — George Zimmerman asked a judge on Monday to change the terms of his bond so he can have contact with the girlfriend he's accused of assaulting.

Zimmerman filed an affidavit from his girlfriend that says she doesn't want him charged with aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief.

In the signed affidavit, Samantha Scheibe — referring to Zimmerman as "my boyfriend" — said that detectives misinterpreted what she said and that she hasn't been coerced into the request.

Zimmerman was arrested last month after Scheibe accused him in a call to 911 of pointing a gun at her, smashing a coffee table and pushing her outside. Zimmerman also called dispatchers, denied pointing a gun at her and blamed her for the broken table.

"I am not afraid of George in any manner and I want to be with him," Scheibe said in the affidavit.

Girlfriend wants charges dropped against Zimmerman
 

Weird. I believe the police would have the option of charging anyway... I believe they will. Time will tell and I could be wrong on both counts. Thanks for posting the update.

Edit: And then I read the article and find just what I said:
Prosecutors could continue with the case despite Scheibe's request.
Just have to wait on their decision now.
 

Now THERE'S A WOMAN TO STAY AWAY FROM!!!!

If any relationship rule makes sense, it's once a woman sends you to jail, never ever have anything to do with her again - and in NEVER!
 

Pretty damn hard case to win! All she has to do is take the 5th. If they waive prosecution to force her to testify, then with that immunity she can just say "I was angry and lied."

End of case nor can prosecute her.

The Police do not charge. The prosecution could and may, but then they have an up-hill battle.

The GF and Mother are already on the record for seeking money for interviews before hand.
And now she says that "that detectives misinterpreted what she said".
These things wont sit well with a jury.

So maybe it was an overzealous prosecutor, or the GF was making **** up?

You are absolutely correct. Mispoke.
 
I dont think it is uncommon for battered and abused women to drop charges. In fact, I think it is common.
 

Or she is exhibiting battered weirdo syndrome where her mentality is: "I know he loves me... He wouldn't have hit me if he didn't love me. I shouldn't have said that to him."
 
No, I pointed out a fact. Battered and abused women drop charges on a regular basis. It is just a fact. Pesky, but still a fact.
Daft now?

Pay attention: In this case.

Not in this case it is not.
There have only been allegations. Nothing more.
 
Which is very common in these cases. Often because the battered female drops charges.

Another one not paying attention.


Because you know this case inside and out and also are in the heads of Zimmerman AND his girlfriend reading their thoughts. My bad for not being aware of your omnipotence.
 
Perhaps the two of them could find their way to a nice remote deserted island someplace....

Oy Vey!
The female did not press charges.

Just him, her... and of course his gun collection... and perhaps an xbox.
