George Zimmerman's wife pleads guilty to perjury charge
Source: CNN
Shellie Zimmerman, the wife of George Zimmerman -- who was acquitted of second-degree murder in Trayvon Martin's death -- pleaded guilty Wednesday to a misdemeanor charge of perjury.
She will be placed on probation for one year, is required to perform 100 hours of community service, and must pay court costs. She also must file a letter of apology within 30 days to Judge Kenneth Lester, who presided over her husband's case at the time the perjury was committed.
Recorded jailhouse phone calls between the couple caught the two speaking in code about their finances.
Zimmerman jail calls released
By pleading guilty to a lesser charge of perjury not in an official proceeding, she avoided the original third-degree felony offense -- perjury during an official proceeding -- that could have meant time in prison.

so, a little probation and community service and a letter of apology, and that's the extent of their punishment?

(15,226 posts)When George finds his continued frustration that life does not meet his expectations she will be a close source for him to work out his well proven violent tendencies. She really needs to think about the last wanna be cop delusion George manifested ended in the killing of an unarmed teenager. George actually stated he wants to be a judge now she pleads guilty to perjury. At least she knows how stand your ground works in Florida.

(6,342 posts)Her lie dealt with personal finances. She has no criminal past. So the court weighs the severity of the lie and with this scenario, perjury is usually plead down to a misdemeanor.
