Oh Dear George Zimmerman sues Trayvon Martin's family and the prosecutors

for $100m

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/dec/04/george-zimmerman-trayvon-martin-lawsuit
<snip>
George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer cleared of murdering an unarmed black teenager in one of Florida’s most high-profile criminal cases, launched a $100m lawsuit on Wednesday against the dead boy’s 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 state’s attorney, Angela Corey, and her team of prosecutors relied on a witness who falsely claimed to be Martin’s girlfriend to testify against him.

He kills a kid and then she's the family for writing a book about how he killed their child? And who are the snowflakes?

Instead of countersuing, the defendants should simply ignore him once they win.

I’ll be glad to contribute a donation for a lawyer.

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