Oops. My bad. Forgot he was only playing make-believe.
After his acquittal, he got mad at his wife and beat her
up. Fortunately for her, only with his fists. But he was
acquitted, and all was well. Until some mentally deranged
dude tried to shoot him on the highway. After surviving
that encounter, his name was placed in a poll (taken in
Alaska) for president, receiving 2% of those responding.
That was before Donald Trump jumped into the race.

And then there was South Park, which had a character
based on his exploits. Oh, just imagine what this world
would be like had Zimmerman actually been a candidate
for president. Donald Trump never would have had a chance.
