Video of Zimmerman breaking the iPad that might have video evidence that he punched his father-in-law in the face has surfaced. You can clearly see a plaid-clad Zimmerman breaking and then tossing the tablet into the yard.

<snip>


In the meantime, information about Zimmerman’s gun and whether he really had it at the scene of the dispute or not is coming to light.

Mark O’Mara, who ditched his most infamous client, told CNN the real about Zimmerman’s gun, which Shellie told dispatchers he threatened her with, but police reported they didn’t see.

On Anderson Cooper, O’Mara confirmed that Zimmerman DID in fact have his gun…and on his person, not in the car.

1. whoever said that Zimmerman was unravelling....

was absolutely correct.

[Starry Messenger]

3. He's a ticking time bomb.

I hope Shellie and her family have bodyguards and a restraining order.

[darkangel218]

12. +1 million

I'm so worried for her.

[Myrina]

6. I think we're just seeing him for who he really is ...

.... once a ill-tempered, bullying POS, always a ill-tempered, bullying POS.

The George we saw in court, all polished up and extremely sedated, is not the George those closest to him know.
I'd bet on it.

2. Looks like they are having difficulties getting video from iPad

LAKE MARY, FLA. — A police spokesman says that law enforcement analysts are having difficulty extracting video from an iPad used by the wife of George Zimmerman, which remains key in determining whether either will face charges after a domestic dispute.

Lake Mary police spokesman Zach Hudson said at a news conference Wednesday that an iPad used by Shellie Zimmerman to record an argument with her estranged husband is in "bad shape." He says it could be several weeks or months before its video is analyzed because investigators don't currently have the necessary tools to extract it.

4. I was wondering about that.

I guess there is no reason for FBI to become involved in this, but I wonder if a more high-powered agency would have tools to obtain the video from the damaged device more quickly?

[Myrina]

7. I'm sure the NSA or Booz Hamilton could ...

n/t

[warrant46]

10. Yes lets send it to the NSA

</sarcasm>

17. Shellie isn't a political activist, so there's probably no interest from those agencies.

11. We had a case here in Indy a couple years back,

... an on-duty cop plowed into a group of motorcyclists, killing 2 and permanently disabling another.
Ever so curiously, his co-workers took him to an un-approved lab for the blood draw after he blew a .2, and then when taken into evidence, the vials were left on a shelf, unrefrigerated, for almost a year. Now they're essentially inadmissable.

Same thing in the Zimmy case - I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the police 'experts' who are trying to 'retrieve' that data 'accidentally' destroy it completely. Someone(s) are seriously covering up for that POS on a regular basis. I'd like to know who & why. The corruption seems to run very deep in that area.

[laundry_queen]

22. He must know something.

Maybe they're all into child porn or something. Why else do they keep covering for him? It has to be something big.

16. Scumb_g zimmerman so far has been just smart enough to . . .

get rid of the evidence against him, whether it be destroying an iPad or killing a teen. But his luck won't last.

It's at least some consolation watching his life unravel.

Come on Florida cops, if you can't extract the evidence from the iPad get it to someone who can.

DUH!

25. I don't know why the FBI hasn't stepped in, yet.

Leaving it in the hands of the local PD that has already confessed it doesn't have the tools to get to the information just sounds stupid.

[global1]

5. Who Are The Other Two Guys In The Video?......

and near the end it looked like one of the guys (perhaps the father-in-law) was taking a picture.

[dionysus]

8. i'd say the huge guy is zimmermans bodyguard... what crappy resolution for a home surveillance

system!

[Starry Messenger]

14. This is just a guess, but I think the larger man is GZ's bodyguard.

Shellie's 911 transcript mentions the presence of a bodyguard. (The video at this link auto-plays, be warned):

http://abcnews.go.com/US/transcript-shellie-zimmermans-911-call/story?id=20205466

<snip>

PD: There are multiple units in the area. This is Shellie right? What phone number are you calling on now?... What is Zimmerman doing right now?

SZ: He is in his truck.

PD: Does he see them?

SZ: I'm sorry.

PD: Does he see them?

SZ: They are telling his bodyguard to get out of the way. Oh my God. Dad, get behind the car or something. I don't know if he is going to start shooting at us or not.

9. Wow. From the link, he actually did have the gun on his person?

Wth is wrong with the cops, that they didn't find it?

[darkangel218]

15. You cant find, what you dont want to find.

[Starry Messenger]

18. Well, if this is the same police force that handled the Trayvon Martin evidence...

There's lots wrong with them.

[polly7]

19. I think you're right.

I saw someone from LE giving a statement on camera and he sounded like he was auditioning for something .... super happy to be on camera, but pretty short on any information. Imo, nearly everything he said was supportive of George and cast doubt on Shellie's 'story'. Edit to add .... I don't believe Shellie is lying, that's just how the cop came across, to me.

[Starry Messenger]

24. Oh I'm sure they're trying to paint her as his crazy ex-

I've already seen comments from people that think she's doing this for money, trying to make him look bad for the divorce, etc. I'd say there are easier ways to get money than try to deal with this crazy a-hole, who has already killed someone for looking "suspicious".

Everything about George Zimmerman and his allies makes me sick. The levels of complicity to make this killer a community hero don't say much for the health of American society.

[polly7]

26. I think living in what I assume was a pretty unhealthy relationship with

this creep for a long time has probably left her conflicted and messed up. On the one hand, she's seen what he's capable of .. on the other, she may still have feelings for him and want to protect him. I hope she has lots of support, because it looks like he has no idea how to fight fair.

[snooper2]

13. It's a stretch to call what I just watched "video"

LOL

[trumad]

21. Pretty clear to me.

[trumad]

20. Looks like it played out exactly how Shelly described it on the 911 call

he was motioning to her father to come on---come on---get closer---and it looks like he had his had on a gun in his holster.

[EC]

23. so once again

the cops lied or were incompetent.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

27. Consciousness of guilt.

Obstruction of justice by destroying evidence, too.

[Crimson76]

28. I never thought he was a racist

I work security and he is the classic definition of a control freak wannabe cop, clearly unstable.

[notadmblnd]

30. he's an abusive sociopath with no conscience

I have an ex brother in-law just like him. When my sister and her 3 girls left him, my husband and I gave her shelter, he figured he could make her come home if she didn't have a place to stay, so he called Protective services and reported that my husband sexually assulted one of her girls. And if that wasn't enough, he bumped his head while working on a car (he's a back yard mechanic) he called the police and had my sister charged with attempted murder. Claimed she hit him on the head with a hammer. Both the charges against my husband and my sister were eventually dropped.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

29. He definitely appeared to be gesturing towards his hip from that video. nt

[Downtown Hound]

31. Well you know those fucking Ipads. They're always getting away with it!

But not this one, no sir. Not when George Zimmerman, Neighborhood Watch Badass is on the job. That's one ipad that won't be getting away with it.

Oh and edited to add: isn't an ipad like, hundreds of dollars? Doesn't that make it felony destruction of property?

[Starry Messenger]

36. Right?

I was thinking that too. Those are expensive, aside from all the other crap he pulled in this scene.

[Nine]

32. The only think that stops a bad gal with an i-pad is a good guy with psychopathic tendencies. (nt)

[KurtNYC]

33. Much more pics and video

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

34. I wonder where DU's Zimmerman defenders are?

Sitting this one out? Come on, this is your chance to defend this hard-luck "good guy with a gun"! Isn't he the type of "man" you'd want your daughter to date, or son to grow up to be like?

[Starry Messenger]

37. I wonder too!

I was prepared for some push-back, but this thread has been oddly quiet on that front. Things that make you "hmmm."

[Bolo Boffin]

35. I'm sorry, George Zimmerman was just defending himself.

That iPad was armed with a concrete driveway.
