Threw a wine bottle in her direction. No injuries. No other contact. No call to 911.

Yet another Zimmerman Nothingburger?

Looks like it Chip.
Renewsit tweets its NOT Samantha Scheibe doing the accusing. There was report that it was a girl named "Rachel" but maybe not?

Re-news It@Re_Newsit
@RumpoleRT Not sure now about the girl being someone named "Rachel". Retracting for now.

Lawyer: George Zimmerman charged after throwing bottle of wine at girlfriend
By Gal Tziperman Lotan Orlando Sentinel contact the reporter

After allegedly throwing a bottle of wine at his girlfriend Monday, George Zimmerman spent 14 hours in jail this weekend and now faces aggravated assault charges and must surrender all his firearms, officials said.

Zimmerman, 31, was arrested Friday night in Lake Mary where he had been living in a home owned by his parents. His attorney Don West said the fight involved Zimmerman's girlfriend, who police have not identified.

George Zimmerman Police Report – The Curious Case of A Broken Wine Bottle, and Swarm of Police Investigators Spanning Four Days
Posted on January 12, 2015 by sundance

Apparently the Lake Mary Police Department made the decision to charge George Zimmerman despite the non-existence of an actual cooperating victim. The LMPD went to rather extraordinary lengths in order to generate an arrest. Six police officers, two detectives etc. all on a mission to identify how a bottle of wine was broken on a driveway.

George says she broke it, she says George broke it. Six investigators, body cameras, squad car cameras, DVD’s, neighbors questioned, and eight pages of investigative testimonials later – you discover the Lake Mary Police must have a lot of free time on their hands.

The police officer's "conclusions" make no sense whatsoever. They heard the glass breaking. That means that the bottle was thrown on/around the driveway/garage. Immediately after, the psycho bitch got pulled over for driving without lights. She claims that Zimmerman threw the bottle at her. Zimmerman claims that she threw the bottle before leaving.

It absolutely makes more sense that she threw the bottle before ripping out of the place in her car. As for motives: she was being detained for a traffic violation; claiming to be the victim of a domestic violence dispute would be an awfully convenient way to get out of it.

The police version was basically: "She said. He said. We have no evidence either way. I think he's not telling the truth, so I arrested him."

What kind of freaking third-world legal system are they running down there in Fluri-duh?

Well said, Chip
George is being set up by neurotic women it seems... spur of the moment accusations at least, but who knows if there is some conspiracy to set these things up, planned ahead of time.
One thing seems clear.. George has appalling taste in female companions.

SANFORD --
George Zimmerman will not be formally charged in his arrest earlier in January for aggravated assault against his girlfriend, the State Attorney's Office said Friday.

Zimmerman, the 31-year-old acquitted in Trayvon Martin's death, was arrested Jan. 9 after his girlfriend told Lake Mary police he threw a wine bottle at her during an argument.

The girlfriend, who was not identified, later recanted her story, according to State Attorney Phil Archer.

"While it is clear that the officers had probable cause to arrest Mr. Zimmerman which was affirmed by the circuit court judge at initial appearances, the subsequent recantation by the victim of her initial statement, along with new documents provided by the victim and her attorney, precludes my office from proceeding further," Archer said in a statement Friday.

Officials: DOJ to announce no charges against Zimmerman in Martin shooting


Published February 24, 2015
FoxNews.com

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/02 ... -shooting/



The Justice Department plans to announce it will not be filing federal civil rights charges against George Zimmerman, the Florida man who was acquitted last year of second-degree murder for shooting Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teenager.

Senior U.S. government officials confirmed the planned announcement to Fox News.

Thursday marks the third anniversary of Martin’s death.

Federal prosecutors are expected to say they do not have enough evidence to prove Zimmerman intentionally violated Martin’s civil rights.

Fox News' Jake Gibson contributed to this report.

About time.

To keep the threat hanging over George so long was a crime in itself

The Zimmerman Files: Aggregated day-by-day live coverage & analysis
By Andrew Branca
July 5, 2014

Image

Hey folks,

A year after the trial in which George Zimmerman was unanimously acquitted by a jury in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, misinformation continues to abound. Whether the misinformation is being spread inadvertently or — as is too often the case — as a result of intentional disinformation campaigns, the only antidote is the truth.

Many of you will recall that I was graciously invited by the well-respected legal blog Legal Insurrection (LI) to live-cover the Zimmerman trial. Over the course of the next several weeks I literally watched every available minute of the trial, providing blogging and legal analysis every day, and often several times a day. I also did the occasional post on the trial right here at Law of Self Defense (LOSD).

The result was over 75 posts and more than 120,000 words (no, that’s not a typo) of detailed coverage of the case, beginning from the pre-trial Frye hearings and continuing up to and past the verdict.

It was a blast!

George Zimmerman has charges dropped in assault case – again

No charges for former neighbourhood watch leader acquitted of killing Trayvon Martin after ex-girlfriend said Zimmerman threw wine bottle at her

Image

Prosecutors have dropped charges against George Zimmerman – again – in another domestic violence case involving a girlfriend of the man who sparked an international debate on race and gun violence after he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida in 2012.

The state attorney’s office of Florida announced on Friday that it would not bring charges against Zimmerman following his arrest earlier this month on reported accusations that he threw a wine bottle at his girlfriend and broke her phone when she tried to break up with him.

This is the second domestic violence case against Zimmerman, 31, that has been brought and then dropped in just over a year, following his controversial acquittal at trial in July 2013 when he was found not guilty of the murder or manslaughter of Martin.

Federal Officials Close Investigation Into Death of Trayvon Martin

The Justice Department announced today that the independent federal investigation found insufficient evidence to pursue federal criminal civil rights charges against George Zimmerman for the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida. Prosecutors from the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, officials from the FBI, and the Justice Department’s Community Relations Service met today with Martin’s family and their representatives to inform them of the findings of the investigation and the decision.

“The death of Trayvon Martin was a devastating tragedy. It shook an entire community, drew the attention of millions across the nation, and sparked a painful but necessary dialogue throughout the country,” said Attorney General Eric Holder. “Though a comprehensive investigation found that the high standard for a federal hate crime prosecution cannot be met under the circumstances here, this young man’s premature death necessitates that we continue the dialogue and be unafraid of confronting the issues and tensions his passing brought to the surface. We, as a nation, must take concrete steps to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future.”

Following the shooting, a team of some of the department’s most experienced civil rights prosecutors and FBI agents conducted a comprehensive, independent investigation of the events of Feb. 26, 2012. The federal investigation was opened and conducted separately from the state of Florida’s investigation of the shooting under local laws. Once the state initiated the second-degree murder prosecution, federal investigators began monitoring the state’s case and halted active investigation in order not to interfere with the state’s trial. Federal investigators provided reports of interviews and other evidence they obtained to the state’s prosecution team.

Shortly after Zimmerman’s acquittal in state court on July 13, 2013, federal investigators resumed active investigation. Federal investigators reviewed all of the material and evidence generated by the state of Florida in connection with its investigation and prosecution of Zimmerman, including witness statements, crime scene evidence, cell phone data, ballistics reports, reconstruction analysis, medical and autopsy reports, depositions, and the trial record. Federal investigators also independently conducted 75 witness interviews and obtained and reviewed the contents of relevant electronic devices. The investigation included an examination of police reports and additional evidence that was generated related to encounters Zimmerman has had with law enforcement in Florida since the state trial acquittal. In addition, federal authorities retained an independent biomechanical expert who assessed Zimmerman’s descriptions of the struggle and the shooting.

The federal investigation sought to determine whether the evidence of the events that led to Martin’s death were sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman’s actions violated the federal criminal civil rights statutes, specifically Section 3631 of Title 42 of the U.S. Code or Section 249 of Title 18 of the U.S. Code, as well as other relevant federal criminal statutes. Section 3631 criminalizes willfully using force or threat of force to interfere with a person’s federally protected housing rights on account of that person’s race or color. Section 249 criminalizes willfully causing bodily injury to a person because of that person’s actual or perceived race. Courts define “willfully” to require proof that a defendant knew his acts were unlawful, and committed those acts in open defiance of the law. It is one of the highest standards of intent imposed by law.

The federal investigation examined whether Zimmerman violated civil rights statutes at any point during his interaction with Martin, from their initial encounter through the fatal shooting. This included investigating whether there is evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman violated Section 3631 by approaching Martin in a threatening manner before the fatal shooting because of Martin’s race and because he was using the residential neighborhood. Investigators also looked at whether there is evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman violated Section 3631 or Section 249, by using force against Martin either during their struggle or when shooting Martin, because of Martin’s race.

“Although the department has determined that this matter cannot be prosecuted federally, it is important to remember that this incident resulted in the tragic loss of a teenager’s life,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta of the Civil Rights Division. “Our decision not to pursue federal charges does not condone the shooting that resulted in the death of Trayvon Martin and is based solely on the high legal standard applicable to these cases.”

After a thorough and independent investigation into the facts surrounding the shooting, federal investigators determined that there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt a violation of these statutes. Accordingly, the investigation into this incident has been closed. This decision is limited strictly to the department’s inability to meet the high legal standard required to prosecute the case under the federal civil rights statutes; it does not reflect an assessment of any other aspect of the shooting.

The Justice Department is committed to investigations of allegations of bias-motivated violence and will continue to devote the resources required to ensure that allegations of civil rights violations are fully and completely investigated. The department aggressively prosecutes criminal civil rights violations whenever there is sufficient evidence to do so.

Such high legal standards seem so necessary for being very clear whether a hate crime has been committed from all asides of the fence. I can imagine how they'd be overrun with cases . . .
