So Zimmerman was a failed Criminal Justice student. [View all]

The records show that contrary to what Zimmerman has said, he did not graduate from Seminole State College because he failed an astronomy class in the fall of 2011.

He was pursuing a two-year degree in criminal justice but had twice flunked algebra, the records show. He also was placed on academic probation the summer of 2011 because his grade-point average dropped below 2.0, a C average.

In the fall of 2009, he got a C in "Evil Minds – Violent Predators." He earned a D in "Intro To Criminal Justice."

Zimmerman was enrolled at Seminole State and was taking three courses at the time of Trayvon's death, but school officials kicked him out after the shooting, citing safety concerns.
