George Zimmerman sues family of Trayvon Martin, publisher, prosecutors for $100 million
George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer acquitted of homicide charges in the 2012 fatal shooting of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, is suing Martin’s family, prosecutors and others involved in the case he claims rested on false evidence, according to a copy of the suit sent to the media Wednesday.

I don't know if Zimmerman is a good guy or not. (and I don't care)

I can't see anything positive happening from this.

I am guessing the strategy is to settle out of court ;)

Some Attorneys prowled around and convinced him to take the shot. He has probably taken a lot of abuse for the situation and they convinced him that he should get paid,, oh, and they are in for 40% if they win......

My understanding is that the Martin family has been harassing him (or he perceived harassment), and that this is a way to get it to stop. A bit of money probably is a motivator I’m sure.

Central Witness In Trayvon Martin Trial Was Imposter, George Zimmerman Said In $100M Suit
The Trayvon Martin case was built on an elaborate fraud, with Rachel Jeantel pretending to be the girlfriend who was on the phone with Martin at the time of his death, George Zimmerman says in a new lawsuit.

The actual phone witness was Diamond Eugene, who was replaced when she would not testify, the suit says. Martin’s parents participated in the swap, it says.

Prosecutors withheld key evidence from Zimmerman, including falsely telling the defense team that Martin’s cellphone was broken, it says.

That explains the lawsuit.

If they can prove that, then Martin's family, the prosecutors, and the state of FL are in for a world of hurt. Fabricating witnesses and hiding evidence that would have meant Martin would never have stood trial is probably criminally actionable in addition to whatever judgment comes from the civil suit. Seems kind of odd that this is happening so long after the fact, though, and if it gets any significant media attention, it's going to be a circus (again).

That's quite interesting. If that were true I hope someone gets to the bottom of things and really holds the offending folks accountable. That's a bunch of crap if that's what happened. A real abuse of things.
