George Zimmerman molested: George Zimmerman witness 9 claims he sexually molested her - Orlando Sentinel (http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-07-16/news/os-george-zimmerman-jail-phone-calls-20120716_1_trayvon-martin-george-zimmerman-shellie-zimmerman)

It's hard to take her serious because she's tried to level a few accusations against Zimmerman already. Now this suddenly surfaces?

Look I don't know what happen but once people found out he was sitting on a boat load of money everyone knew him and then the stories start.

It does seem like all this stuff is coming up only because of the trial. But still if this turns out to be true, lock Zimmerman up for a very long time. For this regardless of the self defense/murder case.

I didn't see it posted here, but it may make sense why this woman waited to come forward. Till Zimmerman was too busy with other stuff to retaliate, if he's indeed that kind of person. Most molestation/rape goes completely unreported for fear of retaliation, humiliation, other reasons. Or she could be another Crystal Mangum. This still needs to be investigated.

And while you technically can't apply a person's background to a present case (can't punish someone or make inferences for past charged misconduct), this is a huge strike against Zimmerman's credibility if there's evidence (witnesses to his saying "sorry" to her or anything).

George Zimmerman failed to identify himself twice during a confrontation with Trayvon Martin and missed opportunities to defuse the situation that led to the death of the teen, a detective says in a newly released report.

"Investigative findings show that (Zimmerman) had at least two opportunities to speak with (Martin) in order to defuse the circumstances surrounding their encounter," Serino wrote in the report. "On at least two occasions (Zimmerman) failed to identify himself as a concerned resident or a neighborhood watch volunteer."

The detective also said Zimmerman's actions "are inconsistent with those of a person who has stated he was in fear of another subject."

And this is exactly why Zim deserves to be in jail hopefully for the remainder of his life.The article also mentions said officer being demoted afterwards and Zimmerman passing a lie detector test.

"Failed to identify himself"? Zimmerman didn't have to identify himself any more than Martin did. I don't think I know of any people who go around with the attitude "Tell me who you are or I'll beat you up!" on their own time in a public place. A better standard should apply to Zimmerman and Martin in this case.

Considering there's little chance the two could have met if either one really wanted to avoid confrontation (the place they met had wide areas open to escape in at least two directions), and met just before where Zimmerman's truck was without going MMA on each other, both of them "missed opportunities to defuse the situation".

Walking through a neighborhood, following someone in a public place, neither are grounds for assault by themselves. IMO, it all comes down to who started the fight, as to whether Zimmerman's self defense claim can stand. Maybe some evidence will turn up, surveillance camera footage would be a godsend, but I guess that would have been leaked already if it existed.

Don't know what Zimmerman's attorney was thinking letting him do the interview on Fox News.....unless he wants him to be convicted. Idiot.
