George Zimmerman Bullied Former Colleague, Complaint Says

One of George Zimmerman's former colleagues at CarMax, where he worked in 2008, complained formally about the man who killed Florida teen Trayvon Martin, alleging serial hazing that lasted for months and included pranks and ethnic jokes.

When the salesman complained to management, Zimmerman denied the harassment.

"The guy was so convincing when he was confronted by management to the point where I doubted my own self. I would not be surprised if he got away with it [Martin murder accusation]."

"He's got, like you say, a good poker face. Great poker face," said the colleague. "That pretty much summarizes this guy's personality. Great poker face."

Federal court records show that in July 2007, Zimmerman failed to show up for a deposition in a federal civil lawsuit he had filed against his employer and, as a consequence, was fined $10,000.

Zimmerman had sued Aames Funding Corp. of Maitland, alleging he had been cheated out of overtime pay. He wound up with a check for $18,220, according to court records — but never paid the fine.

Attorneys for more than a dozen news companies will be at Friday’s hearing, arguing for the release of several public records, including 150 phone calls Zimmerman made from jail and the statement of “witness 9.”
