Police say iPad may prove key in Zimmerman marital altercation case

An iPad used to shoot video of a confrontation that allegedly erupted Monday between George Zimmerman and his estranged wife, Shellie, and her father might prove key in determining whether charges will be filed, police said Tuesday in Lake Mary, Florida.

"Unfortunately, the iPad is in several pieces," police spokesman Zach Hudson told reporters about the device, which he said George Zimmerman had damaged.

The incident comes two months after Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, was acquitted of second-degree murder in the shooting death in nearby Sanford of Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old unarmed youth.

Police have sent the pieces of the iPad for analysis, Hudson said. "We want to get all the information, the footage, off it."

    George Zimmerman seems to be a disaster lookin for a place to happen! I predict he will be doing prison time soon! He has absolutely no common sense because if he did he would stop drawing attention to himself! Particularly legal attention!

    Shellie Zimmerman has already been convicted of perjury. She is not known for her truthfulness. Let this play out and you'll see.

    That may well be true @ ruppert but dumb george did sock an elderly man (her father) in the nose, and that is just NOT acceptable behavior. Especially stupid behavior on georges part when he is already one of the countries most hated persons! Stupid is as stupid does!

    I think him having his hand on his gun proves that he is ready and willing to shoot anyone and has done so. He fights with police, he batters women, and has killed a teenager. Actions do speak louder than words.

    This will not "resurrect" Martin. Charge him with domestic violence and move on. No evidence? Then shut up. I never heard of a cop not being able to discern the aggressor in a DV case that they charge and haul off to jail. Any other DV case do you "wait" till a ipad or any piece of junk is analyzed.

    Jeffrey Babbitt, 62, was pronounced dead Monday, five days after being beaten by a man who allegedly said, "I'm gonna punch out the first white guy I see," according to police commissioner Ray Kelly. Yet another racist attack committed by the most racist group of people in America, African American's.

    Too bad his estranged wife and her father didn't stand their ground and put George in the ground; it's just a matter of time before someone does.
