I wonder....do "jerks" get off simply by being jerks, or do they get harsher treatment? How did that play out in Zim's case?

No matter what anyone says, one's public image plays into EVERYTHING, even a court trial. The media machine began almost immediately following the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman incident. Think about it for a moment, EVERYTHING we heard about the story came to us via talking head radio and talking head television. The talking heads newscasters color every news story that crosses their desk. He**, there are documented cases where the media actually created such conflict WAR broke out between nations and countries. Reason #88 why I have NO use for the media. Besides, I worked for a major television station long enough to slowly learn how they really work.........and believe me, they are up to no good.
Judges are people wrapped with all the emotions, beliefs and convictions the rest of us come with. So, of course they have opinions about cases which may play into their decisions. They watch the news too......
