O'Mara has had it - he quit

prolly didn't want George's fuck ups to interfere with his CNN gig

George Zimmerman Loses Lawyer as Cops Seek Fight Video

George Zimmerman's lawyer said today he will no longer represent the man acquitted of murder in the death of teenager Trayvon Martin, even as police say that Zimmerman or his wife could face charges over Monday's domestic dispute.

Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, made the announcement one day after Shellie Zimmerman called police to say that George had assaulted her father and threatened her, leaving her "very, very scared."

Police said today they are still investigating the incident and that either George or his wife Shellie Zimmerman could eventually face charges.

It is hard to have time to be a legal analyst if you have to constantly run after Zimmerman and get him out of trouble.

he's operating within the boundaries of the law.

That's why they should have given the benefit of the doubt to the person who was being stalked.

Now that he is divorcing himself from Zimmerman, how much can he say about his previous client without breaching the attorney-client privilege? And if he has to gag himself because of professional ethics, just what does he bring to the table for CNN?

He sees the writing on the wall -- there WILL be another very bad Zimmerman incident, one O'Mara or any other attorney will have a very difficult time getting ol' Zimmie out of.

Just a matter of time....
