An iPad that George Zimmerman’s wife used to record him during a confrontation is too badly damaged to quickly retrieve footage that Florida cops need before they decide whether to charge anyone, a police spokesman said Wednesday.
“It’s in really bad shape,” Lake Mary, Fla., Police public information officer Zach Hudson said, adding that it could be weeks or even months before images are recovered from the tablet.
“As it stands right now there will not be any charges any time soon without that iPad.”
No gun was found, and she later told officers that she never actually saw one, police said. The father did have a red mark on his nose but no injury that required medical treatment, cops said.
George Zimmerman, meanwhile, portrayed his wife as the aggressor and said she hit him with the iPad, police said.
None of the parties pressed charges but since it was classified as a domestic violence case, the police will make final determination as to whether charges will be filed.
The iPad was busted into several pieces and the chip was damaged. Hudson investigators don’t have the in-house tools to recover the video and were trying to figure out how to get it.
“We’re going the extra mile,” he said.
