    George Zimmerman pleads no contest in stalking case involving investigator, reports say

    George Zimmerman pleaded no contest Tuesday to a misdemeanor charge of stalking a private investigator who contacted him over his killing of Trayvon Martin, according to multiple reports.

    The investigator, Dennis Warren, reached out to Zimmerman on behalf of producers behind “Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story,” a documentary series on the slain teenager produced by rapper Jay-Z.

    After the initial contact, Zimmerman allegedly responded with a barrage of threats to Warren, including that he would feed Warren to alligator.

    "Dennis is a (expletive) WHO BOTHERED MY UNCLE IN HIS HOME," Zimmerman said, according to documents reported by the Orlando Sentinel. "Local OR former law officer He's well on his way to the inside of a gator as well. 10-4?"

    Zimmerman sent 55 calls, 67 texts, 36 voicemails and 27 emails over nine days last December, according to Seminole County Sheriff's Office, and threatened to appear at the investigator's residence.

    "Text me again. I'll show up at your home you (expletive)!!!" Zimmerman told Warren, deputies said.

    Zimmerman later berated a female sergeant with the sheriff's office who called him about the repeated messages, continuing to "scream profanity" and misogynistic insults at her, court documents show.

    The no contest plea entails no admission of guilt for Zimmerman, Orlando's WFTV reported, though he will serve 12 months of probation and be unable to possess a firearm during that time.

    Zimmerman did not appear at the hearing, the station reported, which took place in Sanford and was also covered by the Sentinel.

    Sanford is where Zimmerman fatally shot Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, in a gated community in 2012. Zimmerman, who identifies as Hispanic, was later acquitted of second-degree murder in a case that captured national attention.

    “It’s an agreement we’ve reached with the state because we believe it’s in his best interests to amicably resolve this case,” said Zimmerman's attorney, Zahra Umansky, after a hearing last month.

    Zimmerman was charged with stalking in May. As part of the case, Zimmerman claimed that he's $2.5 million in debt with no income.

    The former neighborhood watch leader has moved in and out of headlines since his trail on Martin's death, including two domestic assault cases that were later dropped.

    Wait, why did he not just kill the innocent person he was stalking, then claim self-defense? It's not like that hasn't worked before. :chris:

    "As part of the case, Zimmerman claimed that he's $2.5 million in debt with no income." :unsure:
    Okay I'm not a financial expert or anything, but riddle me this:

    how do you end up 2.5 million in debt? In other words who the hell keeps extending his credit letting him get that far into debt? If that's the case I should never have to work another day in my life! I can just buy a house, cars, and a lifetime supply of food on credit to the tune of 2.5 million and never pay it back.....pure genius!

    What is it with Skittles?

    Teen who killed man on way to buy Skittles gets 10 to 20 years

    The shackled teen killer seemed calm as he exchanged smiles with a relative who blew a kiss from across the courtroom prior to his sentencing Wednesday, Feb. 13.

    There was little mystery. Dabronte Roberson, 19, already made a deal with Washtenaw County prosecutors. He would forgo trial and plead guilty to second-degree murder for the fatal shooting of 23-year-old Garland Johnson during an argument outside a Dairy Mart on Grove Street in Ypsilanti Township about 10:30 p.m., July 4.

    ... “This is not a situation where Mr. Roberson left his home that day with the thought that he was going to end up having taken someone’s life,” Roberson’s attorney, Delphia Simpson, told the judge. " ... When he gets out of the car, he’s going into the store to get a pop and some Skittles and ends up in a situation where he ends up shooting someone and that person dies."​

    "In addition to the prison sentence, Judge Brown ordered Roberson to pay $13,306.60 in restitution to Johnson’s family for funeral and other costs."

    :lol: oh please - is it open mic night at the comedy club? The family will never see that money! Unless the killer has $ 13,306.60 laying around in an account for the court to seize, that family is fucked-like-chuck when it comes to reparations.

    BTW GUARANTEE within a year of getting released the killer will be right back in prison.

    As for skittles? I never saw the appeal - plenty of better candy choices to be honest.

    Their ad campaigns of the last 20 years have been top notch.
    They've really got their hooks into the millenials and ...whatever generation Z is calling themselves.

    There's no f**king way that could ever have been a legit Skittles-produced commercial.

    It's also because people are murdering kids all over the place and people get away with it. Starting with George Zimmerman.

    No. And neither was he shot for "wandering around the neighborhood," "getting skittles," "wearing a hoodie while black" or any of the other dishonest bullshit people try to float to distract from the actual facts of the incident because they prefer their feelings on the matter to take priority.

    And yet, from his point of view, that's exactly what happened. Fuck Zimmerman and his bullshit preconceptions. He was wrong and everyone knows it.
