Prosecutor: Zimmerman Allegedly Slapped His Ex-Girlfriend And ‘Asked Her How It Felt’

[one_voice]

During a bond hearing this morning in the murder case involving George Zimmerman, various members of the Zimmerman’s family testified that the killer of Trayvon Martin is not a security threat and should be released on bail. The father of George Zimmerman said his son always “turns the other cheek.”

During the proceeding, prosecutors revealed some new pieces of evidence from an affidavit of Zimmerman’s ex-girlfriend testifying that he attacked her. Media outlets had previously reported that, in July 2005, Zimmerman and his ex-girlfriend had a physical altercation

While interviewing Zimmerman’s current wife, the state proscecutor read from an affidavit by the ex-girlfriend. She alleged in the sworn statement that he “pushed her,” then slapped her with an open hand to the mouth and “asked her how it felt.” She said he “picked me up and threw me on the bed” and then “grabbed me again.” Zimmerman’s wife responded that her husband was simply trying to “protect himself from being attacked by her.”

and dollars to doughnuts that was followed by one of a handful of misogynistic epithets

7. Unfortunately,

he may have then stood his ground and murdered her. In self defense.

8. LOL, I don't know if he'd have killed her (maybe, he loves a warm gun) but he would very likely

Have beaten her very badly, remember, he likes to pick fights with those he outweighs by (what was it 80 lbs?) so he likely would have found sick pleasure in mercilessly inflicting great physical harm to a woman.

9. I wonder if a psychologist would determine that Zimmerman & his wife

both grew up in similarly disfunctional family structures -- male-dominated, both physically & emotionally; mother & daughters were overly submissive to their own detriment.

It's just not rational to believe that it's okey-dokie for a man to slap around a woman. And to have said it in a courtroom, she had to have grown up with that backward, unprincipled, amoral way of thinking. I couldn't imagine having my arm twisted to say something like that under oath unless I didn't know better. That was a pretty ignorant statement.

Be sure to check out the other YT links at the end of the video of Zimmerman's day in court. That's a good link.
