Zimmerman Girlfriend Wants Gun Case Dropped

George Zimmerman's girlfriend, who had accused him of pointing a gun at her, now wants a prosecutor to drop a domestic violence case against him.

Mr Zimmerman was arrested last month after Samantha Scheibe accused him in a 911 call of pointing a gun "at my frickin' face", smashing a coffee table and pushing her outside their Florida home.

He has now filed an affidavit from Ms Scheibe saying she does not want him charged with aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief.

Ms Scheibe also wants a judge to lift an order that blocks her from seeing Mr Zimmerman, whom she called "my boyfriend".

"I am not afraid of George in any manner and I want to be with him," Ms Scheibe wrote.

She said detectives had misinterpreted what she said.

During the altercation in November, Mr Zimmerman also called dispatchers, denied pointing a gun at her and blamed her for the broken table.

Prosecutors must now decide whether they will pursue the case against Mr Zimmerman, which they can despite the affidavit.

Mr Zimmerman's lawyer, Jayne Weintraub, said: "I'm hoping that the prosecutors will take a good hard look at this and take the target off of George's back and drop the charges."

Mr Zimmerman was acquitted of murder after the shooting of Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old unarmed black teenager.

The case stirred racial tensions and led to demonstrations across the country.

Since the July ruling, however, the former neighbourhood watch volunteer has had several run-ins with the law.

He and his estranged wife, Shellie, were involved in a domestic dispute in September.

Police said no charges were filed against either of them because of a lack of evidence.
