An aggravated assault case against George Zimmerman that was opened when his ex-girlfriend said he threw a wine bottle at her has been dropped because she recanted her story and stopped cooperating with investigators, a prosecutor said Friday.
State Attorney Phil Archer said he wouldn’t file a formal charge against Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch leader who was acquitted of killing Trayvon Martin. The killing of the unarmed black teen touched off protests across the country.
The ex-girlfriend had made it clear she didn’t want to cooperate with Lake Mary Police officers, and there were no other eyewitnesses to what happened earlier this month, Archer said.
“While it is clear that the officers had probable cause to arrest Mr. Zimmerman … the subsequent recantation by the victim of her initial statement … precludes my office from proceeding further,” Archer said in a statement. …

This guy really attracts the NUT jobs..
This guy really needs to find a better class of girlfriend...or become a monk.
There seems to be a pattern forming here.
She recanted her story. Did she re-cant the wine too? ;-)
Zimmerman is never going to have a private life again. Every publicly available infraction he is ever accused of is going to be dredged up by the Leftist media in a vain attempt by them to claim “See! See! We told you he was a violent criminal!”
Why doesn’t this surprise me?
Memo to George:
Either find sane girlfriends or use a blowup doll. These nutjobs are killin’ ya, man!
LOL!
lol
FR legal types, is there any reasonable criminal or civil remedy available to George against the recanting NUT for making up false charges?
If George were a leftist hero the media would be going on about how his behavior is a result of the stress he has been put through as a result of his persecution.
The guy needs to move away. Faaaar away.
I think the man, with good reason, has become unhinged. Isn’t this like the 3rd woman to make claims against him? His ex-wife and 2 girlfriends that followed as I seem to remember. I think he needs to relocate to a different country where he isn’t known. Perhaps then he can begin to regain his sanity.
I think she recanted because she wanted to keep her name out of the news, not because it didn’t happen.
Or maybe he just bought her off.....
She recanted her story because she lied.
If you have proof otherwise, please provide it to the thread.
Mr. Zimmerman, if you happen to be reading this:
1) Dump her.
2) Move to Arizona.
3) Change your name.
4) Figure out what you want to do as a reasonable career option (NB: criminal justice is *not* a reasonable option in your case). Engage in work in that option for the rest of your life.
5) Don’t volunteer for anything.
I agree, and sue all those who called you a racist and doctored the 911 call. Make lots of money and then go
like above and seek a low profile. I might add live in a safe neighborhood where you don’t need a gun.
Given his track record with women my money says he gets back together with her.
