George Zimmerman’s history with the law – CNN.com

He hasn't.

Zimmerman can barely go more than a few months without making the news again -- for more brushes with the law, for his artwork or -- most recently -- for getting shot at on a Florida road.

Here's a breakdown of Zimmerman's time in the public spotlight since Martin's death:

A Florida jury found Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder in Martin's killing in February 2012. Brother Robert Zimmerman Jr. told CNN that George Zimmerman "is going to be looking around his shoulder for the rest of his life."

His seclusion didn't last long. Four days after his acquittal, Zimmerman and another man helped a family get out of an overturned SUV in Florida, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office said.

"They got everyone out of the car," a 911 caller reported. About a minute later, the caller said, it looked like the vehicle was catching fire.

A few weeks after his acquittal, Zimmerman was pulled over for speeding in Forney, Texas.

Zimmerman was apparently traveling with a gun. Dashcam video showed him and a police officer talking briefly before the officer told him to shut his glove compartment

"Don't play with your firearm, OK?" the officer said. Zimmerman was given a warning.

Shellie Zimmerman pleaded guilty to perjury after claiming her family was indigent during a bond hearing for her husband. Prosecutors said the family actually had about $135,000 at the time.
