This happened during a roadside confrontation.

Matthew Apperson, 37, who according to prosecutors has a history of mental illness, was convicted in a jury trial in the Orlando suburb of Sanford, Florida, according to accounts by the Orlando Sentinel newspaper and 24-hour Orlando television news channel News 13.

Police asserted in their arrest affidavit for Apperson that he seemed to have a fixation on Zimmerman, who claimed to have acted in self-defense when he shot Martin, a high school student walking through the community after stopping at a convenience store. Police initially declined to arrest Zimmerman, citing Florida’s so-called “Stand Your Ground” law.

    Well it is hard for me to not wish they gave him a chance before they arrested him.

    I think Furious George and his consistent dickery should be a mitigating factor in sentencing. If raping a 2 year old and videoing it gets probation, this guy should at least get lunch at Denny’s and a suspended sentence.
