ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A Florida judge has dismissed the defamation lawsuit filed by George Zimmerman against NBC.

Judge Debra Nelson said in an order made public Monday that Zimmerman had failed to show that the news network acted with malice.

What a total crock of shit.

What I found interesting in the linked article (and this is from the judge's ruling): Zimmerman "voluntarily injected his views into the public controversy surrounding race relations and public safety in Sanford and pursued a course of conduct that ultimately led to the death of Martin and the specific controversy surrounding it," said Nelson, who presided over Zimmerman's criminal trial last summer.

I'm loving it heaven! There was a ray of light today - and it was the Zimpig losing something - anything - other than that extra 50 pounds he put on for his trial to look out of shape.
