No charges after Zimmerman 'threat'

The estranged wife of a former neighbourhood watch volunteer cleared over the fatal shooting of a black teenager does not want to press charges against him despite claiming that he threatened her and her father, police in Florida said.

Yesterday’s disturbance at a property in a suburb of Orlando is the latest in a string of incidents which has seen George Zimmerman make headlines since his acquittal in July of all charges over the gun death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
