The acquitted killer has continued to make headlines, including a lawsuit against Trayvon Martin's family, and auctioning off the gun used to kill the teenager.
In 2014 he found himself in hot water when he was involved in a road rage incident. Zimmerman reportedly followed a driver into a gas station after a heated exchange, and as he tried to call 911, Zimmerman threatened to kill him–gun in hand. He then appeared at the man's workplace two days later. No charges were pressed.
In 2016, a man was sentenced to 20 years in prison for shooting into Zimmerman's truck, narrowly missing him. Matthew Apperson was convicted of second-degree attempted murder despite claiming he was acting in self-defense after Zimmerman pointed a gun at him.In September 2013, Zimmerman's then-wife filed for divorce. A few days later, she called 911 after Zimmerman allegedly punched her father in the face and threatened to kill her family.
Protestors angry at the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the death of black teen Trayvon Martin march through the streets of downtown Los Angeles, California July 16, 2013. A jury in Sanford, Florida found Zimmerman, a volunteer neighborhood watchman, not guilty. The case sparked national outrage and led to the creation of Black Lives MatterA few months later, in November that year, Zimmerman was charged with aggravated assault after he allegedly pointed a shotgun at his new girlfriend.
The acquitted killer had another run in with the law in January 2015, when he was arrested for aggravated assault after allegedly attacking his then-girlfriend with a bottle of wine. As with many of his prior incidents, no charges were filed.He continued to find himself in the limelight, and even agreed to fight the rapper DMX in a celebrity boxing match in 2015. The fight would go on to be canceled.
In text messages sent to private investigator Dennis Warren, Zimmerman once again threatened to feed the pair to a"13 foot gator," as well as levelling insults at the celebrity duo.Zimmerman was also charged with misdemeanor stalking and harassing Warren, who worked on the Jay-Z documentary. Over the course of nine days, he had called Warren 55 times, left 36 voicemails and sent him over 65 texts.
