Sadly, this happens all too often in domestic violence cases.

And Zim lives to see another day. Mark my words, things will not end well for Mr. Zimmerman

There are plenty of "no justice, no peace" folks out there who believe anything bad said about Zimmerman must be absolute fact. Conversely, anything positive must be a right wing fabrication. An important part of the story isn't seen in the short quote from the OP, but it's an important consideration:

Zimmerman's lawyer, Don West, told Reuters he was pleased that the charge will be dropped but disappointed the arrest was ever made.

"His arrest was publicized around the world and once again he became the feature of a news story in a case that was not worthy of prosecution," West said.

Leave it to the lib drivebys to take a false allegation of domestic violence into a true allegation just because they are incapable of comprehending all charges dropped. Be kind and offer a napkin for their drool

Dropping the charges is in no way, shape, or form proof of false allegations. Comprehension is apparently not your forte.

So, in your world, when the DA drops all charges, it means you are still guilty because the allegation is against someone you don't like. So, if you get arrested and falsely charged and get convicted, well that's just the way it goes. Who are these folks that have the facts? Where do they live? Are they voices in your head or did you just stop taking your meds?

omg. reading is fundamental.

Guilt and innocence is determined in court not by al I don't pay taxes and CNN legal commentators. Didn't get to court? Well that just means your son didn't look like the kenyan

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Per ExExpat's argument, we can close Gitmo at once seeing that no charges have ever been brought against any of these people held there nor will any charges ever be brought against any of them. Must mean that they are all totally innocent.

Break out the mop, the drool is getting deep. Another lib don't know the difference between due process for an American citizen and a whacky gee hodee

Evidently a lot is lost in translation, in terms of language and culture as well. I don't think there is full comprehension of how the American legal system works there...
