George Zimmerman, who tragically and controversially shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February, 2012, just got hit with divorce papers from his wife, Shellie. Read on for more details.

Less than two months after George Zimmerman, 29, was found not guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin on July 13, his wife, Shellie Zimmerman, is filing for a divorce.

Shellie Zimmerman & George Zimmerman Divorce — Wife Files After Murder Trial

Shellie, 26, stood by George through the trial, but it seems their marriage was not as strong as it appeared. In August, Shellie told ABC that she and George were having problems even before the shooting and she was considering leaving him now that the trial was over.

Shellie expressed her doubts again during a Good Morning America interview that aired on Sept. 5.

When asked if she and George were still together, Shellie replied, “I’m not going to answer that,” adding that she “wants to have children and stay married.” But when the interviewer asked if she planned to do those things with George, she said, ”That’s something I’m going to have to think about.”

Shellie also reportedly said that after she lied to a judge for George about how much money they had, she was angry that he didn’t stand by her when she went on trial for perjury, according to TMZ.

George Zimmerman Found Not Guilty

After a heated trial and intense jury deliberations all closely followed by the entire nation, George was found not guilty of the second degree murder of Trayvon, 17, on July 13 by a jury of six women on July 13. The jury deliberated for more than 16 hours before reaching a verdict.

George’s family stood tensely in the Florida courtroom as the lead juror read the decision. Trayvon’s family was not in the courtroom. After the verdict was read, George smiled and shook his lawyers’ hands, according to CNN.

What a tragic case.

No matter how you dress it up, he killed an innocent young man. All excuses will be made for him but, it will not alter the fact that he killed without mercy. Karma comes back to all of us right or wrong. So, we all need to look in our mirror and determine what type of person we want to be. God knows exactly what happened that night and wheather you believe in him or not, he believes in you.

Treyvon Martin was NOT “an innocent young man.” He would be alive today if he had not jumped Zimmerman and started beating the crap out of him! Have you seen the photos? There wasn’t a mark on Treyvon. However Zimmerman’s nose was broken; his face was all bloody; and there were severe lacerations on the back of his skull where Trayvon was pounding his head onto the concrete! Zimmerman was crying like a baby when the cops arrived. His intent had been only to wound Trayvon and get him to stop. But there is no way that Trayvon was innocent in this matter. Even his GF testified that while Trayvon was waiting for Zimmerman, she begged him to run home instead. But no. Trayvon was going to teach “this cracker” (who is actually Mexican, BLACK, and White) a lesson. His GF also testified that Trayvon had initiated the fight. Unfortunately for both of them, he picked the wrong man to jump. He chose a man who was armed. And Zimmerman might not be alive today if he hasn’t been carrying a gun.

Try to use a little common sense here. Why would Trayvon jump a man for no reason? He was walking and talking on the phone. Doesn’t self defense work for young black men who are being followed and threatened or is that only for white guys?

Rachel – Have you tried to EDUCATE yourself on this case at all? Rachel Jeantel, Trayvon’s girlfriend, was on the phone with him at the time of the incident. He was complaining that “some cracker” was following him. She told him to run home. She TESTIFIED that instead – Trayvon jumped Zimmerman and struck the first blow from what she could hear on the phone. For his part, Zimmerman had been elected as the head of the neighborhood watch because a group of young black males were breaking into homes. He was keeping an eye on Trayvon because he didn’t recognize him. If Trayvon had simply identified himself instead of jumping Zimmerman, this could have been avoided. Zimmerman had every right to keep an eye on the neighborhood in light of his role there. In know way did Zimmerman threaten Trayvon before he was jumped. In fact, it was Zimmerman who was yelling, ” Get off of me!”

I agree, KARMA baby, KARMA….The dim zim will get the same in the end

…one word…KARMA.

Correction ; George Zimmerman does not seem to be an attentive husband. He is a douchbag for not supporting his wife when she supported him by lying for him.Its time to move on Shellie. Any one can see that George Zimmerson is axshack case.

George Zimmerman has always appeared to me as a very selfish absorbed person whose self interest is his priority. He does not appeartk be unattentive husband. People like George has no conscious about killing Trayvon Martin.

So very sad to hear. The truth however is that Zimmerman probably has book deals and is a “celebrity” of sorts. He will be able to concentrate on law school and as shocking as it sounds – will probably be able to have any number of women who want to now be with him. He should change his name and go back to school. I wish them both the best.

You sound like a perfect candidate to be his wife I mean that if you don’t mind not being able to go places with your husband.

If Zimmerman changes his name and goes to another country for a while, he can reclaim his life. He should never have been arrested in the first place. Anyone who has STUDIED the case knows that neither Zimmerman nor his wife were racists.

He deserves it.he should be in jail for life for shooting and innocent young boy because he was black.like nobody just shoots someone unless it cause of his color.especially if that other person is the opposite color.he obviously did it cause of his color,he had to.and its sick,that the stupid judges had to let him be free.just watch he gonna end up shooting another black kid before the decade is over,just watch.he just sick and disgusting.she did the right thing to dump his sick behind!!!and I’m black too,so the fact that he killed a black man cause of his color,really hurts me and touches me.what’s going on with this earth,why are people being so cruel to kill for no reason.he killed for 3 stupid reasons:his color,iced tea,and skittle!!!that’s just sad!!I feel so sorry for his family,he probably say he sorry to them,but didn’t mean it.he just wanted a black kid dead.I love u trayvon and always will no matter what the system says.u deserve justice for dying of your race.r.I.p little sweetheart!!! #justicefortrayvon
