Zimmerman's Girlfriend bactracks on her claims

For crying out loud, will these people just go away! If the media would just stop covering this idiot and his associates maybe they would just fade away.



http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/09/justice/george-zimmerman-girlfriend/index.html?hpt=hp_t2#cnn-disqus-area

(CNN) -- George Zimmerman's girlfriend is asking a Seminole County court to lift a no-contact provision against Zimmerman so the couple can "talk and be together," according to a court document obtained by CNN on Monday.

===

However, in the court document dated Friday, Scheibe indicates she does not want to press charges against Zimmerman and says he "never pointed a gun at or toward my face in a threatening manner."

incident before killing Trayvon and an arrest for resisting arrest with violence. I wonder if it's just battered wive's syndrome or if someone is paying her. I'm past the point of thinking she made this up. Too much evidence to back her up.

young child. I don't know anything about the child's biological father but perhaps he should be laying the grounds to get full custody of the child if the mother is going to allow Zimmerman be around the child. The welfare of the child must come first.

That's why most states don't leave pressing charges up to the victim anymore. Florida is apparently not one of those states.

in fact, it should be educational. Women who are abused by their partners do this regularly.

In fact, I have seen women in the ER, heads getting stitched up, and arms getting put into casts, or worst, refuse to press charges. So her retracting the charges is like, and this is new exactly how? Zimmerman is a bomb waiting to go off, that is a fact Jack. He is also an abuser, who at the very least needs mental help.

The media going away in fact, will be enabling him.
