Ben Crump, an attorney for Trayvon Martin's family, called the lawsuit 'unfounded and reckless.”
Tallahassee DemocratTALLAHASSEE, Fla. – George Zimmerman, the man acquitted of murder in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, is now suing the teen’s family, their Tallahassee attorney Ben Crump and others for $100 million, saying he has been victimized since the 2012 incident.
More than seven years since the shooting, Crump’s book — published in October — continues to defame Zimmerman by implicating him in the"genocide of colored people," Klayman said. Despite the verdict, the incident ignited a powder keg of racial tension across the country, sparking outrage and protests. Klayman said he asked Crump to remove the book from sale.
Klayman said Zimmerman was attacked. He was acquitted of charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter a year later.
