He clearly has to take note of the O.J. precedent.
Another jury could come along and try him on some much lesser charge ... but convict him on their opinion of the first case.
He absolutely has to stay well within all the legal lines. He needs to drive an old car and never ever go over the limit. He needs to do all his drinking at home. He needs to remember that the entire forces of the U.S. Justice department has taken over for Trayvon and is tracking every move ... stalking him in a sense.
And so far he has done the opposite and gotten away with it.
- July 2013, police in Foley, Texas, stop Zimmerman for speeding in a 60 mph zone. Zimmerman is let go with just a warning.
- September 2013, Zimmerman is stopped by police in Lake Mary, Fla., and given a ticket for doing 60 mph in a 45 mph zone.
- September 2013, Zimmerman's estranged wife, Shellie, dials 911 and
tells a police dispatcher that her punched her father and threatened her
with a gun. She later decides against pressing charges and authorities
announce in November they are dropping the case.
-
September 2013, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper stops Zimmerman along
Interstate 95 and issues a warning because the vehicle's tag cover and
windows were too darkly tinted.
- November 2013, Zimmerman is arrested by Seminole County authorities after a disturbance at a home in Apopka.
