It was during this time when he became friends with Lee Ann Benjamin, a real estate agent, and her husband John Donnelly, a Sanford attorney. According to Donnelly, in 2004 Zimmerman and an African-American friend opened a satellite office of Allstate Insurance, which failed a year later. In July 2005, Zimmerman was arrested after allegedly assaulting an undercover police officer who was attempting to arrest a friend of his at a bar. The charges were dropped after Zimmerman agreed to enter an alcohol education program. A month later in August, Zimmerman's former fiancé filed a restraining order against him, citing domestic violence as the cause. Zimmerman married his wife in 2007. Two years later, they rented a townhouse in the Retreat at Twin Lakes in Sanford, Florida. Zimmerman had previously been employed at a car dealership and a mortgage audit firm. He started working as a neighborhood watchman. Throughout his duty as a neighborhood watchman he would constantly calls the authorities before his last 911 call before he shot Trayvon Martin.

He participated in cadet programmes with the fire department and police before he dropped out of high school. Kyle has been gun ethua. According to his Facebook account, he was never a BLM (Black Lives Matter) support movement,

The Victims

Caylee Anthony

Caylee Marie Anthony was born on August 9, 2005 to her mother Casey Anthony. After her birth, Casey have tried to take a paternity test on a guy she dated ("Jesse”) who could be the possible be Caylee's father but was not the father. Sadly, Caylee never knew her father and her actually father was killed in a car wreck. Caylee was raised in the Orlando home of her grandparents. While her mom "working" at Universal Studios, Caylees grandparents had to mother and father figure to Caylee. On June 15, Casey and her parents got into a nasty altercation.

Trayvon Martin

Trayvon Benjamin Martin was born on February 5, 1995 in Miami, Florida to his parents Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin. His parents divorced when he was four years old. After their divorced, Tracy married Alicia Stanley, who had two daughters from a previous marriage. Tracy and Stanley have been married for 14 years until they separated. When Martin was nine years old, he saved his father's life by pulling his father, who had been immobilized by burns to the legs, out of a fire in their apartment.

Martin has enjoyed teenage years before his death. He played sports video games, skilled at fixing bikes, and making his own money like babysitting, washing cars, and cutting grass. Martin had played football at the park since he was five years old and his team was coached in part, by his father. During his years in high school, Martin volunteered at Forzano Park, working in the concession stand, sometimes staying until 8 or 9 p.m., before going home. Martin's former football coach said he was a shy child and always walked with his hoodie and headphones on listening to music. When Martin started high school, his goal of playing professional football was put aside in favor of a career working with airplanes. Martin attended Carol City High School in Miami Gardens for his freshman year and most of his sophomore year, before he transferred to Krop High School in north Miami-Dade in 2011. While in his first year at Carol City, Martin attended classes in the mornings at the high school and then went to George T. Baker Aviation School for the rest of his school day. Martin's ninth-grade teacher, who taught him three classes of Aerospace Technology at the Baker Aviation School, said he was a normal student, well-behaved, who passed all his classes. According to another teacher at Carol City, math was his favorite subject, and she said she never saw Martin show disrespect. Before his murder, Martin hoped he attended University of Miami or Florida A&M University after he graduates high school.

"In the years leading up to this event he was making a good life and he was having fun and he was happy and he was trying to do the most he could with himself."

Huber struggled with mental health challenges when he was younger and skateboarding was among the things that brought him the most joy. He had found a community of people in Kenosha who shared the same passion. He met and in love with until August 25th that will change them and his life forever.

I didn't find much on Gaige but I found that Gaige Grosskreutz was at the night of the protest in Kenosha to serve as a medic, wearing a hat that said “paramedic” and carrying medical supplies. He has a criminal history record but that's on therioes unto the murders.

July 15, 2008

After 31 days not seeing Casey and Caylee, Cindy started to grew concerned. She once contacted Casey to ask for her and Caylee whereabouts. Casey responds that Caylee is fine and she is with the babysitter. An impound notice was on the door that the car has been towed. When they and found the car a strong bad odor from the trunk lured them. When the trunk was opened, it contained only a bag of trash. Cindy met with Amy, Caylee's friend and finally finds Anthony at her boyfriend's apartment. Cindy contacts the police to report on Casey for stealing her car. When they made it home, Cindy asks Anthony where Caylee is. Casey tried to the change the subject but still Cindy wanted to know the truth of where Caylee is.

Blake never threatened the authorities or had any weapons at the scene and just went back in his vehicle.

The shooting became a huge uproar including Black Lives Matter movement and Jacob Blake's families. The night of August 25, large protests erupted in the streets of Kenosha. Then 17 year old Kyle Rittenhouse who was at the holding a AR-15 rifle with a crowd of militants, Kenosha police officers, and other protestors.

Rittenhouse was arrested at his hometown in Antioch and charged with two counts of homicide, one count of attempted homicide, two counts of reckless endangerment, one count of unlawful possession of a firearm.

Theories Unto the Murders

Theories have played a huge role in their cases.

Casey- According to the timeline,

• Caylee were last seen alive on June 16, 2008. According to the defense, Caylee drowned in the family's above-ground swimming pool sometime during this day and both Casey and George Anthony panicked upon finding the body and covered up her death.
• After Casey drowns Caylee, Casey ducttapes Caylee's mouth, puts her body in her blanket, laundry bag, and trash bag puts her in the back of the family's car leaving her for five days until she was decomposed.
• Casey opens the trunk leaves Caylee's body in a wooded area near the Anthony family's house.
• 7:54 p.m. Anthony and her boyfriend Tony Lazzaro are seen entering and walking around casually at a Blockbuster video store. Caylee is not with them.
• June 17, 2008, George and Cindy Anthony notice that the gate to the swimming pool is open and the ladder is next to the pool.
• June 20, 2008, Casey Anthony is captured in various photos partying at the Fusion nightclub and participating in a "hot body contest"
• July 2, 2008 , Casey gets a tattoo on her back saying "Bella Vita" which means "beautiful life" in Italian.
• July 15, 2008, George and Cindy Anthony pick up Casey's car from the impound yard. George Anthony observes a strong odor emanating from the vehicle. An inspection of the car trunk reveals a plastic bag containing trash. Distressed because Casey has not brought Caylee home in a month, Cindy tracks down and meets with Amy Huizenga who takes Cindy to the apartment where Casey is staying and makes Casey come home.

In that note, Casey murdered her daughter to have a carefree lifestyle without a child. One of the Jurors be that the make believe nanny "Zanny" is name for a drug for Xanax but no drug residue was found. Jose Baez, Casey's defense attorney, believes that the reason Anthony committed murder because she was molested by her father when she eight years old. George denies abusing Casey when she was a child.

George- On Zimmerman's part, Trayvon is "thug" and a "druggie". A photo of Martin surfaced of him flipping the bird, smoking marijuana, and text messages of him referencing marijuana use and showing pics of guns.

Which I didn't find it a big deal because every teen has done it on social media. At least Trayvon didn't kill anybody but if Trayvon was a white teen obviously white people wouldn't make it as a big deal and say absolutely nothing. You Do the Math!!!!

But according to Martin's stepmother despite the media portraying him as a "thug". Zimmerman’s brother, Robert Zimmerman Jr., appears on CNN and says medical records will prove that his brother was attacked and his nose was broken by Martin before he fatally shot the teen. Zimmerman also claims that Martin threatens to kill Zimmerman which caused him to kill him to defend himself.

Kyle- Kyle carried the rifle to protect the neighborhood of Kenosha. The protestors: Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber, and Gaige Grosskreutz beat up Rittenhouse and he shot them in self defense. But Three protestors had no weapons. The three protestors have a criminal history. According to court records from the Arizona court system, Rosenbaum was convicted in a child molestation related case, give the background of Rosenbaum and describe it as extremely troubled. He also had a history of stealing, sexual assault, drugs, etc. Rosenbaum was convicted on Aug 8, 2016, for interfering with a monitoring device and was placed on lifetime probation in 2002. However, court records say, he had violations while on probation, including using synthetic cannabinoid and alcohol, not participating in sex offender treatment, and accessing sexually oriented materials considered inappropriate. As for Huber, he had a disorderly conduct conviction from 2018 as a domestic abuse repeater, which is a misdemeanor and possessing drug paraphernalia. Grosskreutz has a lengthy criminal record that includes drunk driving, burglary, and domestic dispute. Video and testimony in the trial shows that Rosenbaum was chasing Rittenhouse, cornering him near cars in a parking lot. Witness Richie McGinniss, a video editor with the Daily Caller, previously testified that Rosenbaum was lunging for, and trying to get, Rittenhouse’s gun from close proximity, when Rittenhouse shot and killed him. Rosenbaum was unarmed, but Rittenhouse’s team is trying to convince jurors that he posed a threat to Rittenhouse because he was seeking to disarm him.

Jury Verdict

The Juries reached a verdict

On July 5, 2011, the jury found Casey not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated manslaughter of a child, but guilty of four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer.

Where are they now????

After they were proven not guilty, where are they now???

Ten years after the acquittal, Anthony still lives in South Florida, works as a photographer then faced financial troubles but later works as , and no longer has contact with her parents. Anthony made headlines recently after a woman pours a drink on her during an argument at a Florida downtown bar.

Zimmerman has been homeless, out of money, and has tried to keep a low profile since his but has been making headlines again and again. After the trail, Zimmerman's estranged wife called 911 to report that Zimmerman had assaulted her father and was threatening her with a gun. Zimmerman was not charged over the incident. In November, Zimmerman was charged with felony aggravated assault after he allegedly pointed a shotgun at his girlfriend during a domestic violence incident. The case was later dropped. And again with a different girlfriend and this time his charges are dropped.

He made after he was punched in the face at a Florida restaurant after he bragged about shooting Trayvon by saying:

"I'm George Zimmerman. You know the guy who killed Trayvon Martin?"

Zimmerman auctioned his gun he killed Trayvon Martin with. He started oil painting but hasn't made success. His first painting, of an American flag, sold for $100,099.99 on eBay in late December. Art critcs critized and calls Zimmerman's artwork "murderabilia". Recently, in 2021, his event was cancelled by the after they found out he was a featured as a speaker in the hotel.

Kyle is now living his freedom with "blessed opportunties". Republicain Congressman sex traffiker Matt Gaetz aka Creepy Gaetz offers Rittenhouse an internship to his if he gets acquitted.

He met with former President Donald Trump while he was visiting Mar-Lar-Go and pose a picture with him and his family. Trump went on Fox News to talk about his encounter with Rittenhouse calls Rittenhouse a "a nice young man" and “not have had to suffer through a trial” for shooting two men dead and wounding another during protests in Wisconsin last year.

President Biden sides with the juries and says:

"I stand by what the jury has concluded”

However, Rittenhouse calls out President Joe Biden for defamation towards him. Recently, Rittenhouse all smiles spotted at Florida after his acquittal. Republicans are now calling him their hero.

All 3 are now and will be forever recognized as the Most Hated People in America.
