FILE- In this Sept. 13, 2016 file photo, George Zimmerman smiles as he testifies in a Seminole County courtroom in Orlando, Fla. Zimmerman, who was acquitted of the 2012 killing of an unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin, has filed a lawsuit, Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2019, against the teens' parents, family attorney and prosecutors who tried his case, claiming they coached a witness to give false testimony.
BARTOW, Fla. — Neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who was acquitted of the 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin, is suing the teen’s parents, family attorney, the attorney’s book publisher and prosecutors who tried his case, claiming he was defamed when they allowed a witness to give false testimony in an attempt to incriminate him.
According to the lawsuit, Brittany Diamond Eugene didn’t want to testify that she had been talking to Martin before he was killed. So her half-sister, Rachel Jeantel, pretended that she was talking to the teen before he was fatally shot. Jeantel ended up testifying at Zimmerman’s 2013 trial in Sanford, Florida.Martin was black. Zimmerman’s father is white and his mother is Hispanic.
Zimmerman is a murderer! Mr. Martin got killed for being black. Zimmerman if you loose they should sue you for wrongful death
Shame on you Mr Zimmerman. Trying to make money from tragedy.
How is he even still alive?
He is literal scum. He killed a kid in cold blood and walked. Oh, no, is he gonna sue me too just for saying that?
Maybe George should not have stalked and murdered a child
The Martin family somehow found a way to not just survive, but thrive under this tragedy. Now this broke bastard is looking to cash in on their blessings since he MURDERED THEIR SON! Foh
Pos
The man was acquitted, I get that. But these people lost a son, however it happened they lost a son. He really shouldn’t go there at all. Let it be
Then sue the witness. 💁
That's ridiculous!
Why this dirty cockroach still crawling around🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
There are people we just don’t need.
Just wow!
This dude deserves the death penalty.
false testimony in Ferguson grand jury will be next pay day from shallowest pockets ever
Hell yeah, go after that money
Trash
Personification of evil right here.
'George Zimmerman, who got away with murder...'
He needs face the death sentence for his dangerous, psychopathic personality, and most importantly, body counts!
This guy is a moral failure on every front. He got away with murder (manslaughter at best) and continues to stoke the sadness and anger of those he hurt.
This is so sad.
Will someone just do it already 🙄
What does he know about character defamation ? He should be silent !
You want to believe that people are basically good but then a guy like this comes along.
Defamation suits fail when the plaintiff has a reputation that can't go any lower. And this suit is not helping it.
Notably, Zimmerman is NOT suing the witness or the half-sister who refused to testify. Sounds like somebody is afraid of what would come out in discovery. TrayvonMartin
He won’t win.
What a bastard he is!
STRAIGHT TRASH
This guy has shot himself yet?
Defamation. It goes. Valid case.
Just in time for RealDonaldTrump's election season. Gotta shake the bushes for the racist voters to come out for him again. George Zimmerman is a right wing tool.
Was he also defamed when he pulled his gun on his old man father in law too ? If anything, sue him for claiming to be a mexican to make himself look more ethnic. What a joke this guy is.
translation: needs a payday, also: some lawyers have no souls
Will someone please just pop a cap in his ass already? Jesus
This is so sick! Disgusting! What a vile thing to do! don’t even have the words...
I have words, all 4 letter and one syllable so all I’ll say is, “What a despicable human being”
I’ve always avoided defamation by NOT murdering people’s children.
what a shit bird
Fuck this guy
That's an issue for the trial body (the judge) and not for an individual.
Somebody needs to 'Stand Their Ground' against this garbage human.
Captain Apartheid is back at it!
Brothers hunting each other, but letting this PoS cause more damage. SoFuckingStupid
He already killed their son. Now he wants their money?
This guy is straight garbage.
Despicable human being.
He should be in jail for murder!
Trash
What a disgusting man and what a tragedy he’s not rotting in jail where he belongs
Show his mugshot instead of this smiley bullshit!
Rewrite: George Zimmerman, who was acquitted despite overwhelming evidence of guilt, continues the abusive pattern towards others he’s demonstrated, including domestic violence, by suing parents of the child he murdered
He was defamed when he decided to murder that very dangerous unarmed Black boy.
What a clown 🤡
The legal system will allow him to get away with this?
This is just pure extortion.
Kills their son. Sues their family. Nice 👍
Pos
As if he hasn’t brought enough pain to Trayvon Martin’s family. All he had to do was listen to the 9/11 operator who told him not to follow Trayvon.
Dead block. You cannot take someone’s life and enjoy your life. He is haunted.
He killed a teen ... go away!
There is cunts in this world and then there is this guy
WTAF?
Looks like some is flat broke 😂
See what a mess happens when people are not held accountable?
Wow what's next OJ Simpson suing the Brown and Goldman families? Murica
🤬
For all you defending him I bet if it was your CHILD you would being saying something different
What was his claim to fame ? Killing a kid ?
Here is GIF for Zimmerman.
How is this pos still walking the earth?
He is disgusting.
People need to read the case files before passing judgment. The media is NOT the truth. Read the case and examine the evidence. TM is not the innocent waif you think he was.
“. . .Florida’s “stand your ground” self-defense law which allows people to use force without retreating if they feel threatened.” C’mon ap. There’s more to the law than that! GZ was brutally assaulted almost to unconciousness.
Is there any bona fide legal recourse for when you actually defame yourself?
Human garbage
Clear psychopathic behavior
Truly a sad thing George, its a shame that you have to stoop so low. Get over it and get a life.
I can't wait to read this spineless squid died
A normal person would try to make amends for this tragedy, instead Zimmerman tries to portray himself as a wronged hero. Has he been a guest on Fox and Friends yet?
Based on this? Can the news find out if it's true?
So the judge is going to force Zimmerman to finally go to jail for his hate crime? Right? Justice?
This guy is pathetic. He WRONGLY took the life of a young man and now has the audacity to sue the family.
Trash
Murdering an unarmed teenager didn't defame him; the witness testimony did? Really?
Are you kidding? Shameful
Any competent judge will throw this case out in two seconds.
I wont lie. I'd do the same. It's the American dream.
How was it “stand your ground” when chase someone in your car and then get out to attack them?
If I pick a fight with someone, then kill them when they fight back, what happens? This is so backward
This jerk killed their kid.
Imo be thankful you ain't in prison and shut up
Fuck George Zimmerman.
PUTZ
Go... away...
he also is a wife beater.
the guy is a jerk who killed a teen walking home with candy in his pocket.
Asshole
An “oh pleeeeaaaasssseeee moment”....
FirstThem
Somebody tell him his 15 minutes is over. Time to get a job.
Liberal Justice in🇺🇸, illegal aliens can sue even after they broke federal laws entering illegally🙄 the Justice system in 🇺🇸these days
because an innocent person would DEFINITELY auction off their murder weapon marketted as such. Special place in hell for dudes like this...
Who is his sleeze ball attorney?
MotherF*****.
He needs to get what he deserves
I can't wait to read this piece of shit's obituary, which should already be published.
Can this man go away already ?
Someone needs to stand their ground against this d bag
Money-grubbing murderer
And this, this is why we fuching kneel! 😡
This is diabolical 🤦🏽♀️
Vile human.
Trayvon Martin’s parents allowed a witness to give false testimony? At a trial in which Zimmerman was acquitted? MoveOnDude
Idiot
He got away with murder......he needs to let it go.
Let me guess, Jose Baez is behind this too? 🤔
I'd better not hear about no thugs, so called gangsters, rep-ing Florida's area code, talking that, tough tony shit, killing up blk babies, shooting crooked, from the hip, yet, we have to deal with this bs, to?
Even in death, Trayvon is still being harassed by this creep.
POS
The Florida statute of limitations on defamation is 1 year.
This man is a special kind of person, may he rot in a special place.
he's just looking for money. He's a POS
If he were to disappear from this planet this would be a better place.
The fucking nerve of that monster
Pookah06055339
Everyone right now to George Zimmerman
Total loser!!
He must not have any money
What's even sadder than him doing this, is that there was probably more than one lawyer willing to take the case.
Hes broke
'Merica!!!!
And this was the photo you chose for a story on a child murderer who is suing the victims family?
He is going straight to hell. No detours, he is on the express.
Cancel culture causes this
Good job George! False witness who testified under oath should be arrested.
I thought him trying to sell his gun used in the murder was low....Zimmerman somehow found some new depths smh
how the fuck hasn’t he been hunted down yet
It would rule if Zimmerman got into a bad accident.
Wheres the crips and bloods when we need them?
Absolute trash.
This ass....e should be in prison a long time ago!!
alex, what is 'a fucking terrible monster' for $1,000?
Good for him. Hope he hits the jackpot.
I pray that God will make judgement on George Zimmerman accordingly, in his life time, on this Earth so justice is served, and seen by all.
While he is a pos, he has the right to do this since during his trial a person said to be the person on the phone wasn’t said person.
Crisprtek
When the family allowed? Since when does a murder victims family get to allow a witness to testify? I'm lost. PS: hope they counter sue him for emotional distress.
Lock the murderer up
Imagine the public outrage had OJ Simpson sued Nicole Brown's family for defamation.
who's actually still honestly surprised he's not dead yet?
The new most hated man in the world.
P. O. S. 🤬
Ignorance at its best. Hopefully the courts won't entertain this for very long.
