George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted in the 2012 fatal shooting of unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin, is suing Martin's family and Florida prosecutors, claiming that they engineered false evidence in the homicide trial.
The lawsuit to be filed Wednesday in Polk County Circuit Court seeks $100million in civil damages for defamation, abuse of civil process and conspiracy.
It alleges that the prosecution's key witness in Zimmerman's 2013 murder trial, Rachel Jeantel, was an imposter coached by the family and their lawyers.
The lead defendant in the suit is Sybrina Fulton, Martin's mother. Fulton gained national notoriety as an advocate for social justice

Exactly what we'd expect from a white hispanic.
Excuse me while I replace the candles in my St. Trayvon shrine.

Good for him.
He should at least get a big share of the millions that the grifter 'mom' collected on the corpse of the dead son she barely knew or cared about.

Wish both sides would just go away. Every person is responsible for their own safety. Both of these idiots seemed to ignore that, and one of them died. If either of these people had taken a different course of action, the entire incident would never have happened. I blame both of them.

More power to you, George. Is the lawsuit against the prosecutors separate from the lawsuit against the family? I hope they are ALL showing up for their EBT cards in their welfare Escalades!

Sue NBC for inventing that you are white, as well.

I found it improbable that Saint Trayvon and the surly girl were on the phone, non-stop, for several hours. Youngsters text back and forth for hours, but they don't talk in that way. (well, maybe two girls do, but not a boy and a girl.)
I wish the defendants included the fat female state's attorney, though. She was the person administering injustice.

Rachel Janteel, an 18 yr old 9th grader. I remember her testimony on the news, and looking at her I couldn't believe that she was the girlfriend. Nowit makes sense-she was a ringer. The whole thing was staged by Crump and the parents. They couldn't control their kid, but, by God, they'd get paid for his death! And even the prosecutors were in on it! Stupid stupid stupid stupid.

Good luck to the process servers in finding these grifters.
Heck, even Trayvon couldn't find his real father

This suit should be a bombshell slam dunk except for that one big wild card -- George Zimmerman.

I would not be surprised to learn that Mr. Zimmerman has a difficult time getting a job. I don't know that for a fact. But news -- whether real or fake -- has its effect on people. News has driven people to suicide even.
Mr. Zimmerman should be compensated for the wrong done to him with ridiculous claims by officials.

Many of us knew that Rachel Jeantel was lying because she could not read the letter she "wrote" - she claimed it was because she couldn't read cursive. That was an absolutely astounding moment in the trial - that's what tripped her up, that the defense attorney asked her to read the letter. I'm still a little surprised that GZ's lawyers didn't seize on that at the time and call into question her credibility.

If any of this can be proven true, the lawyers, at least, should face discipline. But there is a certain irony, because the alleged fake witness was so unbelievable that she helped Zimmerman get acquitted. Also, pox on the Daily Mail for printing the childhood photos of Martin.

If Barack had a son he would be just like Trayvon. A dope-smoking punkass gangstah fool out looking to do a lick on anyone he can until someone comes along and puts up a fight that didn't end well for him. Go gettem George.

A few thoughts. George Zimmerman will never collect one dime. Don't ever forget the role the reprehensible Pam Bondi, then the Republican AG of FL, played in this matter. She disappeared from the pundit circuit but I see the passage of time has cleansed her of her sins and she is back on Fox regularly.

First thing George Zimmermans lawyers should do is get the sound byte from the Piers Morgan show where hussiens son trayvon's girlfriend said that Trayvon jumped on Zimmerman. The whole case should have been thrown out when this girlfriend said that. Also, I read that this girl on the witness stand is not really the girlfriend. Trayvon's girlfriend was a hottie.
This was not both guys fault. The only one who was at fault here is hussiens son, Trayvon. He started the fight.

I had eased up on my criticism of Steve Kerr and other disciples of Gregg Popovich this year, since they had eased up on their patronizing social commentary. But when I read that Kerr hosted Trayvon's family for the weekend game vs. the Heat, whatever good will had been restored was lost all over again.

Let's hope he wins it. He deserves it for the horrible, illegal, massive miscarriage of justice that he had to live through.

Ad blocker won't let me read the article. I remember Rachel (who had a nickname I don't remember) testifying, knowing she was lying, Incredibly stupid, At the end of the trail, some do gooders were coaching her to attend college. Where is she today?
George's screw up was doing something stupid while going across the country and getting arrested again so he couldn't leave FL. His life would have been easier far far away,

The press is STILL pushing the narrative that St. Trayvon was a 12 year old innocent shot dead by a vigilante because he went to the store for some candy and a drink. Repulsive!! I am glad that he is filing a lawsuit and hope he perseveres.
