George Zimmerman is taken into custody after 'threatening wife with gun and punching her father in the nose after she confronted him over claims he was having an AFFAIR'

Fears: Shellie said that Zimmerman was in his truck (pictured bottom), threatening to shoot her and her father. She added that he had punched her father in the nose, possibly breaking it


Shellie Zimmerman called police to her parents' house in Lake Mary, Florida on Monday afternoon, claiming he had hit her dad in the nose
Friends said altercation began over claims he cheated with his ex-fiancee
Shellie's 911 call: 'I'm really, really afraid. I don't know what he's capable of'
But both she and her father refuse to press charges
Altercation comes just days after Shellie Zimmerman filed for divorce claiming that their marriage was 'irretrievably broken'

Shellie Zimmerman called police at 2pm on Monday, claiming George Zimmerman was at the Lake Mary, Florida home belonging to her parents, David and Machelle Dean.

On a 911 call, she is heard sobbing and pleading with police, claiming that her estranged husband punched her father in the nose and threatened to shoot them.

Zimmerman was seen in a wooded area behind the house as he was questioned but he has not been arrested.

It comes just days after she filed for divorce, claiming that their marriage was 'irretrievably broken' following the murder trial.

Last week, he was pulled over for speeding for a second time since his acquittal and Shellie said he thought he was invincible.

We never should have witnessed a Zimmerman trial

The George Zimmerman case should never have been brought. Saturday night after the “not guilty” verdict was delivered, State Attorney Angela Corey justified bringing the case “to put the facts out there.” But criminal cases should never be brought simply to put the facts before the public.

No one should be charged with a crime unless prosecutors themselves really believe that the person committed a crime.

Yet, the prosecution and their own experts’ language consistently showed a lack of certainty. Prosecutors aren't supposed to bring cases where the best they can say is that something might “possibly” have happened or that there was a “chance” that it did.

Whether it's George Zimmerman or John Doe, no one should be charged with a crime unless prosecutors really believe that the person committed a crime.

Usually defense attorneys are the ones trying to get prosecution witnesses to concede that alternative explanations might be possible. In the Zimmerman trial, even the prosecution couldn't get definite statements out of their own witnesses.

By the end of the trial, with the prosecution conceding that Travyon Martin was likely on top of Zimmerman, prosecutors were forced to speculate that possibly Martin was about to get off of Zimmerman when he was shot. That, by itself, completely undermined the prosecution's claim that Martin was the one calling for help.
The case was so weak that the local Sanford District Attorney refused to bring charges against Zimmerman. That is why, on the orders of the governor, an outside District Attorney, Angela Corey, had to be brought in to handle it.

Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee was fired because he also refused to charge Zimmerman with a crime.
Even the lead detective on the case, Christopher Serino, told the jury he believed Zimmerman's version of the events.

Many people jumped to conclusions without knowing the facts. Even before they could read the police reports, many conservative commentators claimed early on that Zimmerman had acted improperly.

Comments by President Obama, Al Sharpton, and others surely stirred up the racial aspects of the case and appear to have led some blacks across the country to attack whites to avenge Trayvon Martin.
