George Zimmerman's Wife on 911 Tape: 'I Am Really, Really Scared' - Yahoo!


George Zimmerman was released without charges today after his wife called 911 to say Zimmerman punched his father-in-law in the nose and threatened to shoot him and his wife.

Zimmerman, acquitted in July of the murder of teenager Trayvon Martin, claimed that he was acting in a "defensive manner" during the incident, according to police.

Zimmerman was handcuffed and questioned by police in Lake Mary, Fla., according to Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell.

He was later released without charges when his wife and father-in-law refused to press charges or give police a sworn statement. Police said they are reviewing surveillance video from the home and reserve the right to file charges later based on the video.

Police said George Zimmerman volunteered the surveillance videos to investigators.
Shellie Zimmerman called 911 shortly after 2 p.m. today and reported that her husband assaulted her father, Colin Morgan, and was waving a gun around and threatening her and her relatives, according to police in Lake Mary, Fla.
Lake Mary police took the call "extremely seriously" and sent eight units, including officers in tactical gear with ballistic shields, to the home, according to Bracknell.

In the 911 call, Shellie Zimmerman tells a dispatcher that her husband was in his car raging, adding "he continually has his hand on his gun and he says step closer…" When Shellie Zimmerman trails off the dispatcher asks "step closer and what?" to which Shellie responds "a Step closer and he'd shoot us."

Zimmerman, who claimed self-defense after he shot and killed Martin, told police in a statement that he was acting in "a defensive manner" during the incident and did not have his hand on his gun, according to Lake Mary police spokesman Zach Hudson.

Shellie Zimmerman and her father said they do not want to press charges, Bracknell said. Both Shellie's lawyer, Kelly Sims, as well as George Zimmerman's lawyer were at the home, ABC News has learned.

The 911 tapes describe a terrified Shellie Zimmerman. On the call to a police dispatcher she told police that her husband punched her father in the nose, smashed her iPad, cut it with a pocketknife and raged, "one step closer and he'd shoot us."

"I don't know what he's capable of. I am really, really scared," she told the dispatcher.

When police arrived she could be heard on the phone saying, "Dad, get behind a car or something. I don't know if he's going to start shooting at us or not."
The incident comes just days after Shellie gave an explosive interview to ABC News in which she said that she's not sure she "ever really knew" her husband through their seven years of marriage and felt she was the victim of verbal abuse by him. She also said she believes the not guilty verdict has left her husband feeling "invincible" and since then has been "making some reckless decisions."

"I think I'm realizing that I have been married to a person for almost seven years, and I don't think that I ever really knew him at all," she said.
Shellie filed for divorce earlier this month, just two months after her husband was acquitted on murder charges related to the 2012 death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.

Shellie said that she had stood by her husband throughout the ordeal that began on Feb. 26, 2012, when he shot and killed the unarmed teenager and came to an end when a Florida jury acquitted him of murder this summer.

"I stood by my husband through everything and I kind of feel like he left me with a bunch of broken glass that I'm supposed to now assemble and make a life. ... It's just heartbreaking," Shellie said.

"I have a selfish husband. And I think George is all about George," she said.
George Zimmerman's legal team declined to comment on the divorce proceedings. They did not immediately respond to requests for comment today relating to the domestic incident.

how a guy that big and aggressive couldn't handle an unarmed 17 yr.old
and then a 107 yr old gets blasted to death by a swat team
or an 8 yr old gets shot by gun toting lunatic
it's still The Wild West.
Zimmerman is a fokin psycho.

So I wonder how the jury feel now that they know they acquitted someone who probably shot a teenager dead out of anger at being beaten in a fight rather than out of fear?

Like c*nts, probably.

The jury now knows as a result of that latest incident that a "self defence" claim by Zimmerman arose after he'd initiated a confrontation and a violent an assault on his wife and father in law.
They now also know that they acquitted a psycho capable of further violent assault upon anyone that he sees as a potential danger.

How could you possibly "know" what the jury "now knows"?

You don't even appear to "know" how ridiculous this post make you sound.

It's as plain as the nose on your face that Zimmerman is a nutter, and it's as plain as your post that you think the tw*t's an angel.

Tried to find it on youtube but its been 10-15 years and it's not there anymore.

A drunk with a knife in central park is threatening everyone. Police arrive (maybe 6-8), surround him and tell him to drop the gun.

The guy was so drunk you could have slapped the knife out of his hand blindfolded and on one leg.

They just executed him.

It's surprising that the Zimmerman supporters are not speaking up for their man.

I'll speak up for Zimmerman, he's been under a bit of stress lately, murder charges, people wanting to kill him, could make him a bit depressed.

We could introduce laws that say people involved in domestic disputes are crazed killers on the loose.

Can't watch the vid Internets too slow, but is she not going for divorce, not likely to want to paint a picture of a good husband. Jim

Florida police chief: George Zimmerman is ‘a Sandy Hook waiting to happen’ | The Raw Story

A series of indiscreet emails by a Florida police chief has revealed his belief that Trayvon Martin’s killer George Zimmerman is a volatile character who is “a Sandy Hook waiting to happen”.

Steve Bracknell is the chief of the Lake Mary police department, which is investigating Zimmerman, 29, for allegedly threatening his estranged wife, Shellie, and his father-in-law with a gun on Monday.

In an email exchange with a Lake Mary resident critical of the department’s initial decision not to arrest or charge Zimmerman, Bracknell appears to agree with the writer’s description of Zimmerman, acquitted in July of murdering Martin, an unarmed black teenager, as “a ticking time bomb”.

“Zimmerman is a Sandy Hook, Aurora waiting to happen,” the resident, Santiago Rodriguez, told Bracknell in his first email, seeking an explanation for why Lake Mary officers did not charge Zimmerman.

“Your reference to Sandy Hook … I agree,” Bracknell replied.

At the end of a follow-up email urging Bracknell not to “give up” on the investigation, Rodriguez wrote: “Sooner or later another mother and father is going to be on CNN lashing out against the system due to this man snapping.”

Bracknell replied: “As for your final thoughts, again, on a personal note, I agree.”

Neither the police chief, nor his department’s spokesman, Zach Hudson, responded to a request from the Guardian for comment Friday, but the political blog ThinkProgress, which published the email exchange on Thursday night, said Bracknell confirmed the messages were authentic.

It followed an off-the-cuff comment Bracknell made to a reporter from Los Angeles on Monday in response to the massive media interest in the confrontation between George and Shellie Zimmerman at her father’s house in Lake Mary.

“Man, it would be fantastic if you had an apartment out there [in California] for George Zimmerman. This guy is killing me,” he said.

And in one of the emails to Rodriguez, he insists: “Rest assured, the last thing on planet earth I want is any relationship with the Zimmermans. Period.”

Police said on Wednesday that no decision would be made for many weeks if Zimmerman should face charges over the incident, in which Shellie Zimmerman called 911 to report he was threatening her and her father with a gun.

“He’s just threatening all of us with his firearm, and he’s gonna shoot us. He punched my dad in the nose. My dad has a mark on his face,” she said in the recording of the call, made as the couple argued over their belongings.

Shellie Zimmerman filed for divorce last week and, according to the police report, had gone to the house they once shared to pick up some of her possessions when her husband also turned up.

At some point during their confrontation, Shellie Zimmerman began recording him on an iPad, which he then allegedly smashed on the floor and cut with a pocket knife. Detectives say it could take months for forensic investigators to establish if any of the footage is retrievable.

The investigation stalled when Shellie Zimmerman, after talking with her lawyer, Kelly Sims, and her husband’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, decided she did not want to press charges. She and her father, David Dean, then told police they had not seen George Zimmerman with a weapon, apparently contradicting what she told police dispatchers.

“I do not know why she changed her story. I could only guess, and that would be improper,” Bracknell said in his email.

However, Shellie Zimmerman is serving 12 months’ probation for perjury stemming from a lie she told a judge about the couple’s finances at her husband’s bail hearing last year. George Zimmerman told police that she hit him on the back with the iPad and that he smashed in to stop her.

Her backtracking left detectives relying on the iPad, which Hudson said was “in really bad shape.”

“At this point, we do not have the tools available to effectively look at the video. As it stands right now, there will not be any charges anytime soon without that iPad,” he said.

Bracknell described Monday’s incident as “a very unusual occurrence” but denied there was any conspiracy or cover-up into why Zimmerman was released without charge after only a brief period “in investigative custody”.

“The 911 tapes needs [sic] to be supported by physical evidence of the alleged physical violence. Since Shellie and her father refused to prosecute, we were powerless to arrest anyone,” he wrote.

“Remember, we were the agency that wrote him a $256.00 [speeding] citation last week! No freebies here in Lake Mary.”

It really would be as funny as fuck if this wannabe cop shot himself a white boy.

Imagine the spluttering from the gun-totin' cowboy freaks.
