A grown man complaining about being bullied? A car salesman no less, and he can't take some crap? What color panties was he wearing under his skirt?
A pattern of what? Cause he gave a guy some shit on a used car lot? Those guys are ruthless in their giving hell to each other. The only pattern I see is the one of the media attempting to have a trial by character assassination using any and every chicken shit detail thay can come up with.
A pattern of being a troublemaker. 99.99% of employees, and this includes car salesmen, do not get themselves called by management, and do not continue on to land themselves in the national news.
Whats the common denominator here ? In 2005, George Zimmerman was twice accused of either criminal misconduct or violence. That July, Zimmerman â 21 at the time â was at a bar near the University of Central Florida when a friend was arrested by state alcohol agents on suspicion of serving underage drinkers, according to an arrest report. Zimmerman was talking with his friend, became profane and pushed an agent who tried to escort him away, the report said. Authorities said he was arrested after a short struggle. Charged with resisting arrest without violence, he avoided conviction by entering a pretrial-diversion program, something common for first-time offenders. A month later, court records show, a woman filed a petition for an injunction against Zimmerman, citing domestic violence. Zimmerman 'nuts' when he 'snapped' George Zimmerman was fired from his job as an under-the-table security guard for âbeing too aggressive,â a former co-worker told the Daily News. Zimmerman, at the center of a firestorm for shooting an unarmed black teenager a month ago, worked for two different agencies providing security to illegal house parties between 2001 and 2005, the former co-worker said. George Zimmerman Bullied Former Colleague, Complaint Says One of George Zimmerman's former colleagues at CarMax, where he worked in 2008, complained formally about the man who killed Florida teen Trayvon Martin, alleging serial hazing that lasted for months and included pranks and ethnic jokes. When the salesman complained to management, Zimmerman denied the harassment. "The guy was so convincing when he was confronted by management to the point where I doubted my own self. I would not be surprised if he got away with it [Martin murder accusation]." "He's got, like you say, a good poker face. Great poker face," said the colleague. "That pretty much summarizes this guy's personality. Great poker face." The employee, who is an Arab-American, worked part time at the used car retailership during 2008, and rose quickly to become one of the company's top salesmen, despite the hazing, he says. George Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin during a confrontation in a Sanford, Fla., gated community where Zimmerman lived and where Martin was visiting.
Do any of these incidents meet the standard for admitting prior bad acts in to evidence? Seems like a stretch to me. "Substantially relevant" being the operative phrase. Prior bad acts are sometimes allowed as evidence in a criminal case as proof of motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, or absence of mistake or accident. They are governed by federal and state evidence rules, which vary by state. Because of the potential for prejudice to the defendant, they must be substantially relevant for some purpose other than to point out the defendant's criminal character and thus to show the probability that he acted in conformity therewith. Therfore, the relevance and probative value of the evidence must be demonstrated.
In a case based on credibility I think its relevant and will be admitted Zimmerman lying to the court and having his bail revoked is also relevant and will be admitted imo
