SANFORD — George and Shellie Zimmerman struggled with money problems. The year they married, he was sued, accused of failing to pay a credit-card bill. Three years later, she was sued for the same thing.

Both were in and out of community college, records show, and spent their first years together in a home owned by her parents.

There is a lot of background on this young, struggling couple, who are not a lot different from many other young couples in this awful economy. The OS actually tried to humanize them.

Wow! A young couple in Florida having money problems? What next? A suspended Miami high school student caught with dope and burglary tools/stolen jewelry coming from a 7-11 with the mixin’s for purple drank?

Victimized by the credit card companies, victimized by the Obama Economy, victimized by a black gangsta thug high on THC and victimized by a legal system.

Well... I guess they will be getting a visit from the FBI like the gunshops did.

My apologies. I had 2 different stories open, this one from the Orlando Sentinal and one from Business Insider.

I intended to post this one, but got myself all confused and posted the title and links from Business Insider and the excerpt from the Orlando Sentinal.

I had the admin moderator pull the other Frankenstein story.

At least I'm finally old enough to blame it on having a Senior Moment, and it isn't even Monday. J

Not really. Allow me to edit the story for you to point out what the author's main point is:

"George and Shellie Zimmerman struggled with money problems.....Then George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old, in February — and the money began pouring in....."

The author is trying her in his newspaper, making their readers think that killing Trayvon was the best thing to happen to them. They got all this money from it. Then he gives the prosecution's side of the case and tells her that the best thing for her is to plead guilty to perjury, which if she does, she can kiss any nursing career good bye.

They just tried her in their newspaper and found her guilty.

Yeah, I guess you are right, Uncle. I just skimmed the first part of the story, and didn’t read carefully all the way through.

Auntie.

The only relevant question is “is it possible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman was not acting in legitimate self-defense?”

Based on what has been made public so far, no.

So these people had money problems. Completely irrelevant.
