George Zimmerman's Ex-Girlfriend Says He Sent Sex Tape Footage and Images to Her Daughter - As Court Bans Him From Owning Guns

Right-wingers are accusing Zimmerman's ex-girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe, of pursuing Zimmerman because of his 'fame' and 'setting him up' for public embarassment. However, Scheibe says she knew Zimmerman for 12 years, and dated him before he murdered Trayvon Martin. She claims their relationship was rekindled as his marriage soured. Scheibe says the killer of Trayvon Martin is "fascinated by guns" and sent stills and video from "an intimate home video" they made together to her daughter. Scheibe says that when she demanded Zimmerman get professional "help" for his problems, it sparked renewed conflict between them.

George Zimmerman's 'Karma': Killer of Trayvon Martin Arraigned in Same Courthouse of Trayvon Martin Murder Trial

The former neighborhood watchman, who was acquitted of murdering the 17-year-old unarmed teen, was cuffed after a domestic dispute with his reportedly pregnant new girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe. But this isn't Zimmerman's first run-in with the law since the court case, as he was also involved in a domestic conflict in September with his soon-to-be ex-wife, Shellie.

George Zimmerman is bound for a familiar place — a Sanford, Fla. courtroom.

The pistol-packing former neighborhood watchman will be arraigned on an assault charge Tuesday in the same courthouse where he was found not guilty in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman, who spent the night in jail, is accused of threatening his new girlfriend with a long-barrel shotgun during a fracas at her Florida home.

And while Zimmerman, 30, had legal heavy hitters Don West and Mark O'Mara in his corner four months ago, for this court appearance he will be relying on a court-appointed attorney named Jeff Dowdy.

A suburban Detroit homeowner who shot a woman on his porch in the middle of the night was charged Friday with second-degree murder in connection with the case, Wayne County prosecutors said.

Theodore P. Wafer, 54, of Dearborn Heights, Mich., also is facing charges of manslaughter and possession of a firearm... Authorities saw no evidence of forced entry on Wafer's home. Renisha McBride allegedly was shot after knocking on the locked front screen door. Evidence suggests that Wafer opened the front door before he fired through the closed and locked screen door, she said.

Theodore Wafer will be charged with murder and manslaughter, according to Wayne County Prosecutor Kim Worthy.  The 54-year-old Wafer shot dead 19-year-old Renisha McBride in the early morning hours of Nov 2, when she knocked on his door seeking help after a car accident. The incident took place in Dearborn Heights, MI.

Wafer told police he thought Ms. McBride was trying to break into his house and his gun discharged by accident, hitting McBride in the face with a shotgun blast. However, his lawyer later claimed that the killing was "justified."

Wafer was not arrested after the killing. There has been a national outcry over the incident because Wafer had not been arrested, charged, or even named by the police or prosecutor's office until today.

Some have argued that if the shooter had been black and the victim white, the shooter would have been arrested and charged immediately. Wafer is expected to turn himself in Friday afternoon.
