A court allowed George Zimmerman to use a public defender in his alleged stalking case after he filed documents saying hes $2.5 million in debt and has zero income. Zimmerman is facing stalking accusations in his latest legal woes since his 2013 acquittal in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
Details of his finances were filed in a Seminole County court to support his request for a public defender. In the documents, he lists that hes unemployed and has $0 in assets including cash, bank accounts and equity on property. Zimmerman is accused of repeatedly threatening and harassing Dennis Warren between December 16 and December 25 of last year, the sheriffs office said.
Warren is a private investigator who was hired by a production company that was working on a documentary about Martins life, according to CNN affiliate WKMG. Deputies said Zimmerman called Warren 55 times, left 36 voicemails, texted him 67 times and sent 27 emails over a nine-day span,according to the affiliate.
This is just the latest in a lengthy list of legal issues for Zimmerman. He was a neighborhood watch captain in Sanford, Florida, in February 2012 when he shot and killed Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old.

(4,448 posts)They take case(s) knowing they probably won't get paid, but even if they don't, they'll make it up in exposure.
Then they bill the client. If the client ever comes into money, they might get paid.
Even OJ lawyers didn't get fully paid. But they sure made out like bandits from the exposure.

Me thinks Georgie is a lazy ass.

white unemployment rate https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000003
However, their labor force participation rates (employed + those actively seeking work) are about identical, probably within the margin of error (black: 61.9%, white: 62.9%)

But I am happy to see more blacks are employed now than before.
