George Zimmerman’s Wife Expresses Doubt About His Innocence in Travyon Martin Case

HeadlineSep 27, 2013

George Zimmerman’s estranged wife, Shellie, is expressing doubts about claims Zimmerman acted in self-defense when he killed Trayvon Martin. Shellie Zimmerman has filed for divorce and recently called 911 to report George Zimmerman had threatened her and assaulted her father. She was interviewed by NBC’s Matt Lauer.

Matt Lauer: “So you now doubt his innocence, at least the fact that he was acting in self-defense on the night that Trayvon Martin was killed?”

Shellie Zimmerman: “I think anyone would doubt that innocence, because I don’t know the person that I’ve been married to.”
