Z's woman wants charges dropped.

At the risk of starting an anti-Zimmeran rant again here, this story is interesting...

George Zimmerman's girlfriend wants case dropped, document says - CNN.com

If they lift the restriction and he kills her they open themselves to a legal suit by her family. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Probably, they'll drop the charges and keep the protection order. Enforcement of the restraining order is ultimately up to her -- if she want to go see him and she doesn't call the cops, no one will care.

And AFAIK, it will expire after a while if not renewed by her anyway.

She probably wants to drop the charges because a hearing will most likely prove she has lied and filed a false police report, I'd bet.

Have you ever heard the 911 tape?

Differing 911 calls

On a 911 call recording released by police after the November 18 incident, a woman can be heard telling authorities: "He's inside my house breaking all my (things) because I asked him to leave."

The woman then says to someone at the house, "I'm doing this again? You just broke my glass table. You just broke my sunglasses and you put your gun in my freaking face and told me to get the (expletive) out."

A man is heard telling her to calm down, but then she tells the dispatcher that the man just pushed her out of the house and locked the door.

Police also released a 911 call from Zimmerman describing the dispute.

In his 911 call, Zimmerman says that his girlfriend was, "for lack of a better term, going crazy on me" and throwing his things out. He says the woman is outside with police.

Asked why he is calling, Zimmerman says, "I just want everyone to know the truth."

He says he never pulled a firearm and that it is in a bag, locked. And he says she was the one who broke the table.

"He did not point the gun at her or threaten her with it," Weintraub told HLN on Monday.

It's the behavior of abused women. Very common. And males make this behavior out for attention seeking; also very common.

Not to say this is always the case but I did know of a stunning woman who seemed to have the worse luck when it came to balance. She was always falling down and hitting her face on something.

It finally came out that her husband would beat her with an intensity. The Police offered to step in but she refused saying that it was a private thing between the two of them.

This couple had big money, but that did not seem to be a factor. They both found this to be acceptable behavior and she even looked at it as being somewhat normal.

To each his own. She never called the Police on him and became quite upset when anyone else did.
