"He was sitting in a car outside...with his hand on his gun and saying, 'Step closer.' "

In a call to 911, George Zimmerman's wife can be heard telling police Monday that Zimmerman was sitting in a car outside her home with "his hand on his gun and saying, 'Step closer.' "

"Dad, get inside the house! George might start shooting at us, I don’t know," Shellie Zimmerman can be heard telling her father, according to a 911 recording released as police swarmed the Zimmerman home in Lake Mary, Fla., to investigate.

As of a couple of hours after the 911 call, Zimmerman was not under arrest but was in "investigative custody," which means he can't leave the scene until police are done investigating, Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell said in a phone interview with the Los Angeles Times. Bracknell said Zimmerman was being cooperative.

Later, Bracknell told the Orlando Sentinel that Shellie Zimmerman and her father had decided not to press charges. "We have no victim, no crime,” he said.

...my theory is that she wants her cut of the money he sashed from his "official Website," that he didn't spend it ALL on "legal fees." Once she dumps him, no one will bother her.

Seriously? The guy is a psychopath. But then I guess she's just a women and everyone knows they're only money grubbing liars, right?

12. Even if she does want "her cut," I wouldn't blame her for that.

And Zimmerman is obviously the bad guy in this scenario. No one in their right mind would question that.

7. I wonder if Shelly now believes he's capable of murder?

She denied he was in recent interviews, saying it's "not his way". Guess it is his way, he?

The bloated POS is a sociopath, IMO.

has blood on their hands. He should be in custody, social services alone should be on his case. Yikes!

11. Getting away with murder has caused him to go insane.
