Wrong.
Zimmerman was arrested for a FELONY WITH VIOLENCE on a Law Enforcement Officer.
He was able to reduce it to misdemeanor, but only because he was force to attend an ANGER MANAGEMENT course.
I'm surprised someone who thinks they know a lot about this case doesn't know that.
Well, not really.
Sigh, you're lying - as leftists tend to do.
Zimmerman has no criminal record - he has never been convicted of any crime. Because you are a demagogue on a racist witch hunt, you are referencing an arrest in 2005 where the charges were dropped.
{In 2005, Zimmerman, then 20, was arrested and charged with “resisting officer with violence” and “battery of law enforcement officer,” both which are third-degree felonies. The charge was reduced to “resisting officer without violence”
and then waived when he entered an alcohol education program. Contemporaneous accounts indicate he shoved an officer who was questioning a friend for alleged underage drinking at an Orange County bar.}
Zimmerman accused of domestic violence, fighting with a police officer - U.S. News
I am not lying, asshole.
I never lie. What I said is correct, and that March article does not contain the details we have since learned. That article doesn't even get his age right. He was 22 at the time, not 20.
It was ANGER MANAGEMENT Classes. 9 months worth. Why would have to attend an alcohol program? His drinking was not the charge.
THAT was the only reason he was able to have the charge reduced.
They do that for many first time offenders.
If anyone want's to see the court record of that 2005 incident, it's here:
