Take on Zimmerman's wife

I'm no George Zimmerman fan and not going to spend much time defending the guy but even we found the blazing headline in today's Daily News a bit off..    Apparantly the News got a big scoop with their report of Zimmerman telling his wife that she should probably put on a bullet proof vest, now I didn't quite find this newsworthy and honestly if I were him, I'd do the same because there are a lot of crazies out there and it's not beyond the realm of possibility that if he were to get off, there'd be some backlash.
but that isn't my issue here.. it's the fact that in typical 2012 sensational journalism they decided to flank the story with about the most gruesome picture of Mrs Zimmerman.  If this isnt a mugshot, it may as well have been because she looks like she's pissed, tired and angry.   Honestly the way the News portrays here, this woman could really benefit from a shower, a suntan and a bottle of prune juice.   Not only is the life as she knows it over after George and Trayon's altercation a few months ago because even in her best case scenario, her husband gets off and doesn't spend any hard-time but she'll have lost a couple of years off her life, countless death threats and been put through the ringer of the 24 hour news-cycle.  can somebody at least get this chick a facial and a trim because when I open the NY rags I expect to see Lindsay Lohan in a see-through or Posh Spice in thigh-highs not a chick who looked like her world just collapsed upon her.
