Quote from pspr:
Besides, unlike Martin, Zimmerman has not been convicted or punished for any assault or other crime.
Zimmerman was punished by having the slap on the wrist punishment that first time offenders get of taking an alcohol education program

Zimmerman accused of domestic violence, fighting with a police officer
Court documents obtained by msnbc.com on Tuesday evening show that George Zimmerman, who fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, went to court in 2005 and 2006 for accusations of domestic violence, tussling with a police officer and speeding.
The three incidents took place in Orange County, Fla.
In 2005, Zimmerman, then 20, was arrested and charged with âresisting officer with violenceâ and âbattery of law enforcement officer,â both which are third-degree felonies. The charge was reduced to âresisting officer without violenceâ and then waived when he entered an alcohol education program. Contemporaneous accounts indicate he shoved an officer who was questioning a friend for alleged underage drinking at an Orange County bar.
In August 2005, Zimmermanâs ex-fiancee, Veronica Zuazo, filed a civil motion for a restraining order alleging domestic violence. Zimmerman counterfiled for a restraining order against Zuazo. The competing claims were resolved with both restraining orders being granted.
