Just saw this through a crime forum that I frequent. I have no knowledge of the person who posted it, or how reliable or relevant it might be.

(16,993 posts)If it's true, it's pretty clear to me that he shouldn't have a gun, period. Ever.
This just adds to his tarnished history of abusing women, assault and battery of a police officer, and now molesting his cousin. Plus he murdered an innocent, unarmed man who hadn't done anything wrong.
I hope Zimmerman never has a moment's peace for the rest of his life, which I suspect will be a short one since he's out running around with a gun. Again. Next time the person he picks on might not be unarmed.

(12 posts)Wow this is heavy stuff. Powerful to hear the video. This sounds pretty credible.
This is a big story. I Googled and her name is out, and this went on for years.

This guy was a predator as a teen and he was in Sanford, FL when he went after Trayvon Martin.
Yet, how did the prosecution put all kinds of irrelevant stuff in the trial to assail Martin's character. Why didn't the prosecution push harder to get this sexual abuse entered into the trial.

If this kind of thing became the pattern over time---it's still somehow different than if he'd been a teenager and she was six. What am I not understanding here?

(9,865 posts)Just want to make sure it's a story that won't backfire on those who want to see him get the justice he deserves. The problem here is that they were so close in age. And both so young.

(14,154 posts)Is this a detective interviewing her? I guess they have to ask for all the salacious details but its difficult to hear his prodding for them.
When was this? And why did he not get charged? I wonder how those nice christian middle class white women on the jury would have thought of this? Why wasn't this used as a method to establish character by the prosecution? Well, we know the answer to that. A Republican appointed by a Republican to purposely lose the case.

Good thing he's going to be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life, with only right-wing nut jobs to commiserate with. Being held up as a hero at their hate rallies.
That realization is gonna to sting.
