Wife of George Zimmerman arrested on perjury complaint
NPR reports that the wife of George Zimmerman has been arrested on a complaint of perjury for making a false statement during her husband’s bond hearing.
Shellie Zimmerman, 25, was arrested Tuesday. Her husband, George Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman’s bond was revoked earlier this month after officials said he deceived the court about his finances.
The shooting death of Martin in February attracted national attention and led to protests around the country. On March 25, Oklahoma residents gathered on NW 23 and Classen Boulevard to raise awareness about his death and demand justice for his family.
Seeing this scenario, it hits home. Ethnic and racial injustice happens,” said Jason Quaynor, 23, of Norman. “It’s not just for Trayvon Martin. It’s for all their voices to be heard at the same time.”

Isn’t George Zimmerman on trial for a murder where his very credibility is up for contention? Are we to believe this was simply ‘confusion’ or to wonder out aloud the continuation of cunning trickery to avoid responsibility and for personal advantage? Then again judging from comments from other journals there appears to be no shortage of supporters happily sending Mr Zimmerman more money for his defense and the injustices that they have perceived the system is currying against him. Unless of course one pauses to wonder if the injustices are self inflicted…?
