George Zimmerman gets probation after threat to feed private investigator to alligator

By John Bowden - 11/14/18 02:33 PM EST 

George Zimmerman, the Florida man acquitted in the 2012 shooting death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin, was sentenced to 12 months of probation after he pleaded no contest on a misdemeanor stalking charge for accusations that he threatened to feed a private investigator to an alligator.

ABC News affiliate WFTV 9 reports that Zimmerman pleaded no contest in absentia, meaning that he was never required to show up at the courthouse. During his 12-month probation period, he will be legally barred from owning a firearm.

According to the ABC affiliate, Zimmerman was contacted by a private investigator and a producer on behalf of a documentary project about Martin's death, to which Zimmerman responded by sending threatening messages after the investigator contacted his family members.

Why is this dude still relevant? I saw an article not that long ago about some other legal trouble involving him. He's a terd.

Just say "No."

It's almost a sure bet the investigator wasn't going to do George any favors, and from the article, we don't know how often he had been approached.

Still, making direct (and verifiable) threats is bad form.
