George Zimmerman pleads no contest in stalking case

George Zimmerman pleaded no contest Tuesday to a misdemeanor stalking charge after deputies say he harassed a private investigator working on a documentary about the Trayvon Martin shooting.

Zimmerman, 35, was not present in the Seminole County Courthouse during the plea. By pleading no contest, Zimmerman doesn’t admit to guilt.

Circuit Judge Mark E. Herr withheld adjudication. Zimmerman was sentenced to 12 months of probation with no chance of early termination. He is to report to the probation office via telephone within two days and owes $763 in court costs.

He was charged with stalking after police say he sent dozens of threatening emails, text messages and voicemails to a man who had contacted Zimmerman asking him to participate in “Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story.”

Did the Judge not review his history? This murderous maniac will kill again, I am sure of it.
