New Allegation Made Against Zimmerman In Court

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) -- A prosecutor says George Zimmerman's girlfriend claims he choked her about a week ago but she didn't report it to police at the time.

The prosecutor told a judge about the allegation during a first appearance Tuesday on domestic violence-related charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief.

The judge set George Zimmerman's bond at $9,000 and ordered that he not possess guns or ammunition. He was ordered to stay away from the girlfriend's house and wear a monitoring device.

Zimmerman was taken into custody Monday after girlfriend Samantha Scheibe told deputies he pointed a shotgun at her during an argument.

during the Martian trial! Come defend your boy now. How many more people does Zimmerman have to murder in cold blood, before the authorities decide he is a menace to society? Hopefully zero.

What, does he have dirty pictures of somebody? How does this monster get back on the street time after time after time? Are they waiting for him to kill somebody else? And even then, would he be let out on bail again?

It's an insultingly low figure for a person with Mr. Zimmerman's history and proclivities.

We need a serious pushback against 'stand your ground' laws, on top of everything else.
