Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted of criminal charges for the fatal shooting of teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012, plans to enter a plea. Zimmerman was not at Wednesday's hearing.

There was a discussion about a potential plea, but nothing was decided on Wednesday.

He was accused of sending threats to private investigator Dennis Warren who contacted him about a documentary series about the black teenager.

The next court date is November 14, 2018.

CORRECTION: It was originally reported that Zimmerman entered a plea of no contest, but that is not the case.
