Althouse: "When I was being questioned by police I felt very intimidated," says George Zimmerman's lady friend.

December 9, 2013

"When I was being questioned by police I felt very intimidated," says George Zimmerman's lady friend.

"I believe that the police misinterpreted me and that I may have misspoken about certain facts in my statement to police."

Samantha Scheibe now says "I do not want George Zimmerman charged" and Zimmerman "never pointed a gun at or toward my face in a threatening manner" and "I want to be with George."

I mean, what's the hold up here?; 12/9/13, 5:42 PM

Chef Mojo said...: This is why the "24 Hour Rule" needs to be extended much longer when George Zimmerman is involved. The press jumped all over it for a couple of days, and then... nothing. Justice got all up about it for a couple of days, and then... nothing.

Word got around very quickly that there was no there, there. The press, having gotten burned before, backed off. The Justice Department is still hemming and hawing and thrusting its chest out on occasion.

Let's see. He has guns and ammunition. As is his right, not being a criminal. And given the tsunami of death threats he's received, I'd say he's got the right idea.

He might be a complete dick. I don't know. But it's not a crime to be a complete dick.; 12/9/13, 5:49 PM
EdwdLny said...: " I mean, what's the hold up here? " There are more people watching these little fiefdom machinations that had ever been possible in the past. And, we talk about and publicize them like never before. Would this have been news 15 years ago ? Likely not. How many people even know that that charlatan Sharpton is the despicable pig he is, how many would have known before the internet ?; 12/9/13, 5:55 PM

Saint Croix said...: Felony charge actually seems really bogus, based on the 911 call. "He's breaking my shit and waving a gun around." In North Carolina, at least, breaking your shit would be a misdemeanor. Waving a gun around isn't actually anything, unless he points the gun at you, at which case it's a misdemeanor.

In Florida, apparently, pointing a gun at somebody is a felony, and you can five years in prison, maybe more.

Wow, that's a big difference in punishments for the same crime.; 12/9/13, 6:24 PM

LOL

Like it's Zimmerman keeping the Zimmerman story alive.

All those "journalists" are dying to let this whole matter drop but that darn Zimmerman won't let them!!!; 12/9/13, 7:01 PM

Hagar said...: I believe Ms. Scheibe is on 911 tape with these charges?

George Zimmerman needs to get out from under that court order to stay in Florida, then leave Florida and never come back.
Just cut his losses and leave.; 12/9/13, 8:21 PM
Lauderdale Vet said...: I was in a firearms workshop the other night. One of the speakers was a policeman who said that his department waits 72 hours before taking an officer's statement. They find fewer contradictions and inaccuracies with that policy.; 12/9/13, 8:56 PM

Yeah, a monastery somewhere deep in the interior of China. No internet, no international press, nada.; 12/10/13, 4:06 AM

Was with an knife, not an evil gun. So she's still a good person as far as the press goes...; 12/10/13, 7:50 AM
