He’s also suing prosecutors and witnesses.
George Zimmerman, who shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, is now suing Martin’s parents, prosecutors and others that were involved in the closed murder case for $100 million. Despite being acquitted for the murder in 2013, The Miami Herald reported on Wednesday (Dec. 4) that Zimmerman claims the case depended on false evidence.
Represented by Attorney Larry Klayman, Zimmerman’s lawsuit claims false evidence and defamation based on new allegations from a book and film called The Trayvon Hoax: Unmasking the Witness Fraud that Divided America. The Joel Gilbert-directed documentary claims that a witness from the 2013 trial, Rachel Jeantel, was not actually Martin’s girlfriend nor was on the phone with him before his murder.
