LAKE MARY - George Zimmerman did so much damage to an iPad that his estranged wife was using to video-record their argument over how to divide household goods that authorities cannot quickly recover images and thus he will not face arrest, the police department announced at noon.
"The iPad is in really bad shape," said Lake Mary Officer Zach Hudson.
Zimmerman admitted destroying it and can be seen on a home security system video to be piercing it with some sort of tool then flinging it to the ground on Monday
Hudson said without video corroboration to Shellie Zimmerman's allegation that he threatened to harm her, there would be no arrest.
It also means that she won't be arrested either. George Zimmerman had lodged a conter-complaint, alleging that she had hit him with the iPad.Hudson did not rule out future charges, should someone be able to figure out how to recover the iPad video, but he said police weren't sure who might be able to do that or when.
He suggested that might take weeks or months.
I guess these guys haven't heard of the data recovery agencies that do this for a living?
