That's true, but the Martin family got their money from the apartment complex and the mom got an 8 month paid vacation from the FL government.

Let's be honest though... Plenty of families stand by people charged or accused of crimes/wrongdoing all the time to the very end. How often are they punished unless they were complicit with said acts?

WHAT? Jeantel was coached and not even involved? Wow... Well, I don't know if you watched the trial, but I was on vacation that week and watched the entire thing everyday and you could tell Jeantel was flustered and all over the place. Makes sense now. She would get mad at Z's lawyers for asking her questions and I remember one point, she got really mad because she was talking about how she watched "The Last 48" all the time and was pissed off because she had to explain it to them.

Martins family sued the gated community, and got a big fat paycheck.

So Zimmerman gets to sue the MArtins.

The suit alleges that the prosecution's key witness in Zimmerman's 2013 murder trial, Rachel Jeantel, was an imposter coached by the family and state attorneys

I wouldn't have put it past them considering the snip that was flying at the time.

CNN should definitely be sued.

They called Z a 'white Hispanic'.

If proven to be accurate, then hell yes he's right to file a lawsuit. He defended himself against a thug who intended to assault him, no great loss there whatsoever. He then had to essentially defend his freedom and his identity against an additional attack in the courtroom. If that case was in any way artificially supported or "coached," then the man was wronged and I hope he walks away with a flush bank account.

As an aside, if that barely coherent, barely communicative lump Jenteal was actually coached by an attorney, then that attorney should be disbarred on principle alone... my God, imagine how mumble mouthed and crass the witness would have been had she testified honestly and absent of witness tampering.

And Zimmerman's picture is a mug shot from several years later.
High quality journalism right there...

A hundred million? Pfffft... what a joke. The case should be thrown out for that alone. Zimmerman was acquitted and found innocent for a reason but this is ridiculous. Does he honestly think they can afford a hundred million dollar lawsuit? Where would he be getting the money from exactly?

What does his record at school have to do with the night he was shot? Nothing.

Zimmerman was a neighborhood watch guy, who's 'job' was to observe and report.
Not follow.

Zimmerman is the reason all of this happened in the first place.
All he had to do was not sneak and follow Martin.
Instead, he got beat up and shot a teenager.

The fact is, there isn't $100 million out there. Blood from a turnip. That makes this a publicity stunt.

People always sue for a ridiculous amount that can never possibly be paid to make a much smaller settlement seem reasonable (as well as pay the lawyers handsomely).

a reply to: lostbook

The book charges that Eugene was Martin's real girlfriend and did speak with him prior to the shooting. However, it claims Eugene was switched out for Jeantel when the former refused to testify.

Whether you like him or not.

If this is true. Then some serious shenanigans happened.

If he can prove this. Then yeah. He's gonna win.

What I'm curious about though. Is how did the prosecution not know there was a switch?

The Conservative Treehouse exposed that Rachel Jeantel fiasco (and the entire Trayvon Martin case).

There is so much people don't know about this case because the media did an excellent job spreading propaganda pushing the narrative.

Tracy and Sabrina were separated. Sabrina essentially kicked Trayvon out the house which is why he was with his father. The apartment complex was his father's new girlfriends place, not Sabrina's.

Trayvon was EXPELLED from high school. His crimes were essentially covered up though under PC police policy. This again was exposed during the Parkland shooting which did something similar with Nicolas Cruz and his troubled background.

Trayvon attacked Zimmerman. Recall in the court, Zimmerman's lawyer showed how long 60 seconds was by literally just standing in the court saying nothing for that time period. During that 60 seconds, Trayvon was literally steps from his apartment. In other words, if were truly frightened and scared, he would have simply gone home. He didn't. He circled back to attack Zimmerman.

It's hard to form an opinion on this case, that is why I did not take a side. I figured the police and judicial system whould handle this because it involves the rights of both people involved, the kid and Zimmerman.

I do feel I kind of know what happened, just by knowing people like Zimmerman in my own area. He probably called the cops then he tried to keep the kid from getting away, probably grabbing him by the arm till the police arrived and the kid got a little pissed and resisted like any normal teenage boy would do and probably hit him. I do not feel that the kid should have been shot fatally, but that is my opinion, circumstances of what went on are based on opinions and testimony by Zimmerman. The kid could not say anything, he was dead.

I do not think that Zimmerman should be suing the family of the kid, that sounds crazy. He did kill their kid (Supposedly in self defence) and got away with it. So suing his family should not be allowed by the judicial system. It sort of sounds like Zimmerman was a loose cannon, he should not have been out there on neighborhood watch.

This is in my opinion ..,it's not a racial issue, it is an issue of a teenager that looked kind of like he was trying to hide his identity, getting upset and trying to avoid being detained, a white boy would have done the same thing iin this case I feel. Would the white boy have gotten shot? I believe if everything that happened did occur, the white boy would have had the same outcome. The courts are there to look at facts and try to decide what should be done. The Judicial system at lower levels is most often ok, it is the high ranking judicial system that is the most corrupt.

I do not think Zimmerman should have approached the kid and should have just followed him home so the police could deal with the issue.....that is their job.

This is my opinion, one where I have not seen evidence or heard testimony. But no matter what, I think they should kick the lawsuit out of court.

Good point, Obama should offer to settle then.

This case is what happens when two idiots meet.

Trayvon certainly wasn't an innocent little teen as being portrayed. Zimmerman appears to have maybe made bad decisions. However, it was his home and he was doing what any neighborhood person would be doing in light of recent burglaries.

I'm sure he is tired of his name being slandered and seeing Trayvon's parents trying to make money off their kid.

The problem is the prosecutors fell for the propaganda that was put out without all the facts. They wanted the narrative to be true, but the evidence didn't support it. Just like in the Mike Brown fiasco.

The media was looking for a white guy kills innocent black teen for no reason story.... this wasn't it.

We can pretend leaves are money and rake up that quantity.

The thing is that this case was blown all out of shape by the black community and by the media. It almost seems that they were purposely trying to get the public focused on this to keep us from looking at something else going on. That happens all the time.

I read a lot of propaganda about this when it happened and it was all opinions it seems. The courts need to decide things like this. both parties were acting irrational in this incident I feel. If the kid would have just acted civil, he would be alive today. A lot of ifs could be brought up on how things went down.

Where would he be getting the money from exactly?

The state of Florida. The prosecutor's office is included in the lawsuit, as it should be if the prosecution attorney tampered with witnesses.

Tryvon was a 165 pound thug, if he'd done a pound and ground of me on a concrete sidewalk I'd of blown his ass away too.
Will he sue BO for polluting the pool just like Nixion polluted the pool when he announced that Manson was guilty in the middle of a court case.
