ORLANDO, Florida — George Zimmerman’s website seeking money for his legal defense may have been shut down, but apparently not before pulling in quite a haul for the high-profile Florida murder defendant.
The attorney for Zimmerman, charged in the February shooting of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, says in a TV interview Thursday that his client’s website has raised more than $200,000.
Mark O’Mara, speaking to CNN, said he learned about the money on Wednesday and will inform a judge at a Friday hearing.
Zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, though he has claimed he shot Martin in self-defense, invoking the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law. The incident sparked a national debate as to whether the shooting was an act of racial profiling by Zimmerman, who has white and Hispanic ancestry. Martin was black.
Zimmerman was released from jail this week after paying 10 percent of $150,000 bail.

ReplyDeleteFuck obama and niggas.
Brian in Florida, I think you are a fucken moron! Sorry! Good ole George WAS NOT defending his life but stalking a young man. Trayvon WAS NOT following good ole George. Get a grip here man. I don't care about color, but there's only one dead boy here and he was unarmed.
ReplyDeleteThe dispatcher told good ole George to back off, and he didn't. And he's the fucken victim, give me a break!
Sorry Kenny, this pisses me off!!!
Actually, if you listen to the 911 call, Zimmerman was told not to follow Martin, to which he replies "Okay". It is clear he did NOT stalk Martin, and it was NOT murder. No less a great legal mind than Alan Dershowitz has condemned the charge of murder and the prosecution's race-baiting tactics. As Dershowitz says, the prosecution has set us up for race riots when Zimmerman is acquitted. The case is a transparent attempt to appease the black community.
ReplyDeleteThis case is a travesty of justice orchestrated by the black community and their race-baiting ringleaders.
