<snip>
George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer cleared of murdering an unarmed black teenager in one of Floridas most high-profile criminal cases, launched a $100m lawsuit on Wednesday against the dead boys family, their lawyer and prosecutors.
Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin, 17, following a nighttime altercation between the two at his gated community in Sanford in February 2012. He was acquitted of second-degree murder in a closely watched trial that triggered a national debate over racial injustice, civil rights and gun violence.
In a 36-page lawsuit circulated by his lawyers, Zimmerman claims his reputation was destroyed by the malicious prosecution and alleges that the states attorney, Angela Corey, and her team of prosecutors relied on a witness who falsely claimed to be Martins girlfriend to testify against him.

Though I suspect there are plenty of lawyers, including the one they already have who would do it for free in a hot minute.
