In the midst of divorce proceedings against husband George Zimmerman, Shellie Zimmerman said she has doubts about what really happened in the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin last year, she told Matt Lauer in an exclusive interview. "I'm conflicted on that,'' Shellie told Lauer on TODAY Thursday. "I believe the evidence, but this revelation in my life has really helped me take the blinders off and start to see things differently." Lauer pressed further, asking, "So you now doubt his innocence, at least the fact that he was acting in self-defense on the night that Trayvon Martin was...

(VIDEOS-AT-LINK)If Shellie Zimmerman wants her marriage to George Zimmerman to end quietly, she should avoid holding press conferences that become disasters. She should avoid press conferences in general, but that one Wednesday? Ouch. How bad was that conference with Shellie's attorney Kelly Sims?(VIDEO-AT-LINK) "Long and at times bizarre," WESH-Channel 2 anchor Syan Rhodes said. WESH anchor Jim Payne found it "one of the most bizarre displays I think I have ever seen." Robin Roberts of ABC's "Good Morning America" called the press conference "rambling." ABC's Matt Gutman described Sims' performance as "often theatrical" at 40 minutes. Sims' melodramatic presentation included...

Sometimes, extreme pressure to “go over to the dark side” wins out. No, I’m not saying Mr. Zimmerman went over–but you’re very close. As for the headline of this article, you have to read down to the end for a clear explanation. With the likes of Bashar Assad and Vladimir Putin appearing to have come out on top due to the way they’ve deftly played the bumbling Barry Obama and John Kerry over Syria-gate, the administration and its media agents needed a new distraction. Enter Shellie Zimmerman, fresh from her recent negotiations with ABC News for her soon-to-be-ex-husband-bashing interview from...

<p>George Zimmerman’s estranged wife Shellie Zimmerman called police Monday, saying that her husband had punched her father in the face and that he was threatening them with a gun. It is the most recent evidence of tensions between Shellie Zimmerman and her husband, who was acquitted two months ago in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin after a widely controversial murder trial.</p>

It turns out Shellie Zimmerman didn’t lie to prosecutors last year, about her and George’s finances during his bond proceedings, after all–and the case filed against her for alleged perjury is as malicious and full of holes as was the attempted railroading of her husband. Not only that, but the whole reason for charging Shellie, at the time they did, was merely to have it hanging ominously over both of the Zimmermans–to have more grave threat and stress brought upon their family, in addition to the trumped-up 2nd degree murder charge George faced, so prosecutors could bring that much more...

Forgotten in the publicity surrounding the jury verdict in the case against George Zimmerman is that a perjury charge against his wife, Shellie Zimmerman, remains active. According to the State Court docket, the case is scheduled for trial August 21. I have calls in to the prosecutors and defense counsel to confirm this. The Judge on the case is Marlene M. Alva. The Criminal Information and supporting Affidavit are embedded at the bottom of the post. The charge surrounds Shellie’s sworn statements regarding funds available for George’s defense. When it was revealed that George had more money than was disclosed,...

The Florida State Attorney's office has announced the wife of George Zimmerman - the defendant in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin - has been arrested on suspicion of perjury. Her husband stands accused of second-degree murder after shooting the unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin dead, in what he says was self-defence, after claiming he had been attacked.
