He's a god damn weeble.
Yep, it's possible that monetary considerations are the reason that Shellie Zimmerman was advised not to file charges yesterday.
It's also possible she just wants to move on and doesn't want to spend her days in court again. OR she wants to see if evidence of her claims can be recovered from the Ipad before she takes legal action (given she has a perjury conviction and her word would be questioned). OR she feels like George always manages to avoid responsibility and thus doesn't think she has much recourse. OR she's genuinely afraid of retaliation. OR she's full of shit and seeking revenge or some kind of leverage in the divorce settlement (as Jim believes). OR George has something on her that she doesn't want revealed. OR...
There's a laundry list of possible reasons why Shellie Zimmerman (or anybody else in the public eye or in the process of divorce) would be advised to hold off on immediately pursuing charges in such a case.
The latest:
Officer Hudson confirmed today that LE is attempting to recover the video from the smashed Ipad as evidence, and that could play a role in whether police decide to charge either party in the domestic dispute.
He also clarified that officers at the scene did not see or recover a gun; they are not contending that George definitely never had one there (Hudson says that Shellie Zimmerman assumed George had a gun because he kept his hand where he always carries his gun).
Regarding the gun, here's the actual exchange between O'Mara and Anderson Cooper from last night's interview:
O’MARA:
He acted appropriately. He never took the weapon out. The only thing he really did, which is what he told the police, was on the outside of his shirt, he made sure the gun wasn’t moving anywhere and didn’t do anything because Mr. Dean [Zimmerman's father-in-law] was sort of coming at him, that can sort of be seen in the video.
COOPER:
So he had the gun actually on his person, not like in the glove box of his car?
O’MARA:
That’s correct
