Again....another Warlock Hunt (Witch Hunt) by Overzealous Ignorant Morons has been deemed unnecessary after an actual Investigation took place.......

No charges against George Zimmerman after girlfriend withdraws threat allegations - U.S. News

Samantha Scheibe, who refers to Zimmerman as her "boyfriend," said in a sworn affadavit obtained by NBC News that she felt overwhelmed during the argument and intimidated when she was questioned by police about the Nov. 18 incident.

While "it was clear that there was probable cause for the arrest by the Seminole County Sheriff's Office," Archer said in a statement, "there is no reasonable likelihood of successful prosecution."

Archer said that he couldn't make a case because of the conflicting statements and lack of any other corroborating evidence or witnesses.

Scheibe said in the affidavit that she believed "the police misinterpreted me and that I may have misspoken about certain facts in my statement to the police. I do not feel that the arrest report accurately recounts what happened."

She had told a 911 operator and deputies last month that she and Zimmerman were having a "verbal dispute," and she alleged that he pointed a long-barreled shotgun at her.

But in an affidavit released Monday, Scheibe said: "George never pointed a gun at or toward my face in a threatening manner."

In the 911 tapes released from the Nov. 18 incident, Zimmerman denied brandishing a weapon at his girlfriend.

A number of authorities have been pressing charges against perpetrators of domestic violence even when the victim changes her mind after the initial incident. Because victims often prefer to lie to cover for the guy, after the initial fear has worn off, than to see him in jail. Especially if his going to jail is 'her fault' - and with some guys, it's always her fault, because she "made him" do it.
Not saying that's the case here, but it's a possibility in any domestic violence case.

No worries. It's only a matter of time until this whack job actually assaults or kills somebody and there is clear evidence. His estranged wife accused him of domestic violence but he smashed her Ipad which contained the evidence. The current girl friend is terrified enough of him or thinks she "loves" him enough to drop the charges. One of these days there will be an incident where`he attacks the wrong person and he will either end up on video, beaten down, or shot...Maybe even the perpetrator in a murder suicide. This guy's pattern is a text book case of the abusive partner.
His day is coming. Unfortunately there will be at least one more victim before he gets his due.

George Zimmerman won't be charged, Florida prosecutor says - CNN.com

On Dec 9th, Samantha Scheibe, the girlfriend, asked the judge to lift an order that blocks her from seeing him and says she doesn't want charges filed against him. In a signed affidavit, Scheibe says Zimmerman "never pointed a gun at or toward my face in a threatening manner" and claims police misinterpreted her. "I believe that the police misinterpreted me and that I may have misspoken about certain facts in my statement to the police," she said. "I do not feel that the arrest report accurately recounts what happened."

On a 911 call recording released by police, a woman can be heard telling authorities: "He's inside my house breaking all my (things) because I asked him to leave."

The woman then says to someone at the house, "I'm doing this again? You just broke my glass table. You just broke my sunglasses and you put your gun in my freaking face and told me to get the (expletive) out."

A man is heard telling her to calm down, but then she tells the dispatcher that the man just pushed her out of the house and locked the door.

When deputies arrived at the house, Scheibe gave them a key. When they pushed open the door -- which was blocked by several small pieces of furniture -- they found Zimmerman, who was sitting and unarmed, Lemma said. He was passive and cooperative, Lemma said.

Misspoke about certain facts and the police misinterpreted her. Got it. :D

"Upon reviewing the recent affidavit of the Ms. Scheibe and taking into account the conflicting statements about what occurred, the failure to cooperate with the ongoing investigation, and a lack of any other corroborating evidence or witnesses, there is no reasonable likelihood of successful prosecution," Archer said in a written statement.

Here's where things start to get comical...
In the court document filed this week, Scheibe accuses authorities of pressuring her.

"When I was being questioned by police, I felt very intimidated," she said. "I was not allowed to call an attorney nor was I allowed to eat or drink anything for a very long time."

Heather Smith, a spokeswoman for the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, denied that claim.

"As you know, we provided media with the 911 call from Ms. Scheibe, which occurred prior to deputies responding," she said. "Apparently, Ms. Scheibe may have misspoken about the facts of her interview as she had access to her phone and was provided with food."

In any case, I'm still trying to figure out how a witch hunt took place by anyone involved. The media properly and appropriately reported the details of the 911 call for domestic violence, and the police responded and reacted perfectly appropriately. The media didn't make anything up, the police didn't show up unannounced, and the prosecution declined to prosecute for lack of cooperation and evidence. A pretty lame witch hunt.

As to LRE's comments, there is this,and the accompanying side bar stories:

So what? A juror has one opinion and another said he was 'justified' in the use of force. Jurors say a lot of things after the trial. I still hear jurors say OJ was not guilty.

Ditto. The only thing more digusting than the actions of Zimmerman is a man who would defend them, describing this case as a "witch hunt". Some people provide no value to society.

He should lie low in the public eye at all costs. He was lucky that he had reasonable jurors weighing the evidence concientiously. He doesn't want to get in the cross hairs of another abortion of a prosecutor Angela Corey.

Why would any woman in her right mind even want to be around this guy? I am not excusing any of his actions, if they are as stated, but what self-respecting women, of sound mind, want to associate with a man who is constantly being accused of domestic abuse?

It's not just one. Several of them have said they thought he committed second degree murder but there wasn't enough evidence to show it. In the article linked, she stated that she and others on the panel felt Zimmerman was guilty, but that wasn't enough. "You can't put the man in jail even though in our hearts we felt he was guilty," she said. "But we had to grab our hearts and put it aside and look at the evidence."


Jurors say a lot of things after the trial. I still hear jurors say OJ was not guilty.
I do, too. All twelve of them said that when they rendered their verdict. But nine of them thought he did it but felt the prosecution put on a weak case, and at least 2 of the others said the best they could do was reasonable doubt, so that's what they went for. The other juror didn't think he did it. Three of the nine wrote a book, Madam Foreman, in which they flatly state that Simpson probably did it, but police errors and prosecution bumbling is what led to their verdict.

Probably lot of pressure on the one juror. She is probably ostracized by her community for voting not guilty. Others voted not guilty; not enough evidence. If there isn't enough evidence, then all hunchs and gut feelings are just that. Regarding the OJ verdict, its called jury nullification. The trial was made all about race so the mostly black jury turned a blind eye to the canyon full of evidence and instead latched on to any morsel of discrepancy in the investigation like a photo of a plastic cup on a car or a cop lying about using the N word in his lifetime out of embarrassment. No,too much evidence pointing to him to let him walk and any small inconsistantcies was dwarfed by the inculpatory evidence pointing to OJ.

Good question. Why would ANYONE be around this guy right now? He probably can't go anywhere or do anything anywhere without being viewed as a murderer. No one will want to hire him for a job so his employment options are probably nill. Its probably taking a toll on him mentally so it might have something to do with his recent problems. His current life has to be a World of Suckatood.

Zimmerman was overcharged. He wasn't guilty of Second Degree Murder. He was, however, guilty of Manslaughter. That is what the charge should have been. If he had been properly charged and convicted we wouldn't be having this conversation now.
