O'Mara: George Zimmerman will ask state to cover $200K-$300K of his legal bills

[kpete]

Because Zimmerman was acquitted, state law requires Florida to pay all his legal costs, minus the biggest one: the fee that goes to his lawyers.

That includes the cost of expert witnesses, travel, depositions, photocopies, even that animated 3-D video that defense attorneys showed jurors during closing argument that depicts Trayvon punching Zimmerman.

That motion, he said, "is in the works."

His office is still collecting numbers, he said, but he estimated the request would total $200,000 to $300,000.

Justice in Florida--how fitting that it, too, is an oxymoron.
