Rumor_The Zimmermans are getting divorced.

[This is The End]

If you are wondering, the guilty one is divorcing the not guilty one.

George Zimmerman's wife, Shellie, is planning to file for divorce.

Robert Zimmerman, Jr. tweeted <snip>: "According to Shellie's atty Kelly Sims - Shellie is preparing to file 4 divorce. Docs have not yet been filed in Seminole Cty. Pray 4 them."

George Zimmerman, 29, was acquitted of second-degree murder in the Feb. 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on July 13. The case made international news after it took police several weeks to arrest Zimmerman in the case.

Zimmerman was pulled over for speeding by a Fla. cop two days ago.

<snip>On Aug. 28, she pleaded guilty to misdemeanor perjury and was sentenced to one year of probation.

Yes this is news now. They are celebrities.

Sadly, this is one of the lead stories on several news sites.

Am I responsible for this? No, though I am the person making this thread. Some will hold me responsible just for that. Therefore this thread should die and receive no responses.

Should I have added it to a current Zimmerman thread? Possibly, I'm not sure which one it would have been on topic in though.

No it's not. It's filler for 'news' vendors.

They are celebrities.

Only because some people insist on making them such.

Websters:

celebrity: wide recognition; fame; renown


Do they qualify? I believe so...

I like to say that exact line in awkward moments when I'm not sure what to say.... Confuses people.

And there's a "w" in akward? interesting. Damn English language.

It's news because people like you won't let it die. You even started a new thread about it, rather than mentioning it in an existing thread.

 

[LTC8K6]

Weren't they separated before the shooting?

 

[ABC10]

With a 50% plus divorce rate in the USA, nothing unusual about this one.

He'll soon be available. I asked a black girl what she thought of Zimmerman and she said, "He OK."

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

I suspect his wife wanted to cash in on their fame, and George wanted to remain humble.

Separated but not divorced.

Fortuitously for her, this means she can get half of the "legal defense" fund if she wants it, since they were in fact married at the time he accrued it.

America, : yea!

who cares!?!

Yes this is news now. They are celebrities.

Really? That's the best and final idea you could come up with?

It's almost like I covered that in the OP or something.

The nonsense of it all.

I sat down to see my evening news on a few sites, and I was bombarded with this. I decided some of you should share the pain.

What's half of a negative number worth?

Maybe for the same reason thel8elvis made a new thread to announce Shelly's conviction for perjury? Goose - gander, that sort of thing.

It's worse than you think. Almost 75% of married men cheat in America.

The rest cheat in Europe.

Evidently there's a significant amount left:

She is asking for "equitable distribution" of their assets including anything her husband might gain from a defamation suit he has filed against NBC as well as equal share of their debts. She is also seeking sole custody of their two dogs. According to the financial disclosure form, she said she is unemployed and listed her monthly expenses as $755. Since they separated George Zimmerman has given her $4,300 for living expenses and the source of funds appears to be his legal defense fund.
