Let's let the facts come out shall we? Last time they jumped the gun and tried to conflict this man who was innocent.
That his girlfriend previously backed down like a whipped dog under Stockholm Syndrome does not mean he was innocent.
Is there any evidence that the girl backed down instead of making her story up? He's innocent of that crime because he was never convicted of it.
People (not necessarily you) are reading a whole lot into a situation where the facts are few and there obviously wasn't a pressing need to involve law enforcement. They are putting a whole lot of faith into the genius capabilities of the village idiot who shot a thug.
The entire reason he isn't in jail is because of this mentality. If I bring a gun to a potentially dangerous situation, I'm culpable to that extent. It's not murder, but it's probably manslaughter if the facts show that I instigated the confrontation and was more likely to be an aggressor because I was armed - as opposed to being armed for some other reason (e.g. I'm always armed or I was coming back from the range or I had some other concern that caused me to load my weapon).
If I always have my revolver in my console and I happen to drive by someone getting mugged on the way home from work I'm not held to a higher standard if my intervention then results in an unfortunate mistake (like shooting an unarmed teenager who had a lead pipe but it looked to others like he was attacking). I might not be held to a higher standard for pursuing someone that looks like the mugger who then attacks me. However, I would ALWAYS be held to a higher standard if I made a deliberate act to seek out a mugger (or other potentially hostile situation) and specifically carried my loaded firearm for that scenario.
The problem is that it's still not murder, but easily it's manslaughter and that's what the idiot State's Attorney should have charged Zimmerman with. The howling monkeys on the left weren't going to accept that charge so the political spin was on and now he's a free man.
This latest encounter is strange. He threw a wine bottle at his girlfriend and she didn't call the police right then? She didn't call the police when she left and she was safe?
She didn't call the police at all? Very very sketchy case right there.
