George Zimmerman - Police Interrogation - Day after the Death of 17 Year Old Trayvon Martin On February 26, 2012, Zimmerman fatally shot 17-year-old African-American high school student Trayvon Martin in The Retreat at Twin Lakes community in Sanford, Florida. Zimmerman was the neighborhood watch coordinator in his gated community; Martin was temporarily staying there and was shot there. The Twin Lakes Neighborhood Watch program was not registered with the National Neighborhood Watch Program, but was administered by the local police department. Following an earlier call from Zimmerman, police arrived within two minutes of a gunshot during an altercation in which Zimmerman fatally shot Martin, who did not possess any weapons. Zimmerman was subsequently taken into custody, treated for head injuries, then questioned for five hours. The police chief said that Zimmerman was released because there was no evidence to refute Zimmerman's claim of having acted in self-defense, and that under Florida's Stand Your Ground statute, the police were prohibited by law from making an arrest. The police chief said that Zimmerman had a right to defend himself with lethal force. As news of the case spread, thousands of protesters across the United States called for Zimmerman's arrest and a full investigation. Six weeks after the shooting, amid widespread, intense, and in some cases misleading media coverage, Zimmerman was charged with murder by a special prosecutor appointed by Governor Rick Scott. Zimmerman's trial began on June 10, 2013, in Sanford. On July 13, a jury acquitted Zimmerman of the charges of second degree murder and manslaughter. For three years, the U. S. Department of Justice (DOJ) investigated Zimmerman on civil rights charges. In February 2015, the DOJ concluded there was not sufficient evidence that Zimmerman intentionally violated the civil rights of Martin, saying the Zimmerman case did not meet the "high standard" for a federal hate crime prosecution. After DOJ said it would not charge him with a hate crime, Zimmerman said he felt free to speak his opinion "without fear of retaliation". Zimmerman criticized the government and President Obama. He believed Obama inflamed racial tensions. "He by far overstretched, overreached, even broke the law in certain aspects to where you have an innocent American being prosecuted by the federal government," Zimmerman said. According to Zimmerman's brother Robert Jr. in 2014, in the year following the trial, Zimmerman was both homeless and jobless. Robert Jr. said that, while he believed his brother's "state of mind" was better, Zimmerman was "a very traumatized person because he has had his liberty taken away from him". Between the shooting of Trayvon Martin and the trial, Zimmerman gained 100 to 125 pounds (45–57 kg) in about a 16-month period. He weighed over 300 pounds (136 kg) at the trial.[33] His weight was discussed by FOX News and similar media with speculation as to how it might affect the jury's perceptions. On December 4, 2019, Zimmerman filed a lawsuit against Martin's "parents, prosecutors and state authorities" claiming the parties knew "about or should have known about the witness fraud, obstructed justice, or lied repeatedly under oath in order to cover up their knowledge of the witness fraud

Police Officer Arrests Her Supervisor On January 1, 2021, Gainesville Police Department Corporal Scott W. Bertzyk was driving in the vicinity of 6200 W. Newberry Road in Gainesville, Florida, when he reached down for his lighter and crashed into a vehicle that had just started to move at a green traffic light. There were no injuries at the scene, however the people in the vehicle struck by Bertzyk subsequently sought medical care. Gainesville Police Officer Brooke Shutterly responded to the crash and immediately recognized Corporal "Bertie" Bertzyk as involved. According to the report of Officer Shutterly, "While investigating the crash I observed Bertzyk having difficulty maintaining balance. He was also slurring his words and had difficulty physically grasping his driver's license when I handed it back to him." After performing poorly on standardized field sobriety exercises, Bertzyk was arrested and eventually handcuffed at his own insistence. Bertzyk later provided two breath samples, which registered .156% BAC and .153% BAC. Post-Miranda, Bertzyk admitted that he had been drinking Bacardi and Diet Coke. Bertzyk was charged with driving under the influence with property damage, and eventually pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge. Bertzyk was sentenced to fines totaling $974, 50 hours of community service, various substance abuse and DUI classes, and a six-month driver's license suspension. Bertzyk was subsequently sued by the driver and passenger of the vehicle he struck, and a settlement was reached in that case.   A subsequent internal investigation by the Gainesville Police Department concluded that Corporal Bertzyk violated City of Gainesville Policy E-3, Rule 44A, "Pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, or being found guilty by a jury or court of a misdemeanor involving physical violence, theft, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or possession or sale of drugs, regardless of whether or not adjudication is withheld and probation is imposed." Corporal Bertzyk received a written "employee notice," a five-day (40 hour) suspension without pay, and the execution of a Last Chance Agreement and Release. In the course of the Internal Affairs investigation, Corporal Bertzyk alleged that he was not impaired at the time of the crash, and that he had prepared and consumed a very strong alcoholic drink during the course of the crash investigation
