George Zimmerman’s wife says she doesn’t know the man she’s been married to for almost seven years and doesn’t think she “ever really knew him at all.”
In an exclusive interview with ABC News shortly after her attorney filed for divorce from the Florida man acquitted in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, Shellie Zimmerman said she is left with a shattered life.
“I stood by my husband through everything and I kind of feel like he left me with a bunch of broken glass that I’m supposed to now assemble and make a life…It’s just heartbreaking,” she said.
Shellie Zimmerman, 26, stood by her husband throughout the ordeal that began on Feb. 26, 2012 when her husband shot and killed the unarmed teenager and came to an end when a Florida jury acquitted him of murder in July.
Shellie Zimmerman filed divorce papers Thursday against George Zimmerman, who was acquitted of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, her attorney told NBC News.
"The documents have been received by the Seminole County clerks" in Florida, the lawyer, Kelly Sims, said by email, updating and confirming a tweet by George Zimmerman's older brother, Robert:
Shellie Zimmerman, a 26-year-old nurse, pleaded guilty to perjury Aug. 28 for lying about the family's finances during one of George Zimmerman's hearings leading up to his trial. She was sentenced to a year's probation and 100 hours' community service.
In an interview with ABC News the next day, she hinted that a divorce might be in the works.
