George Zimmerman, who shot dead the Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, is $2.5m in debt and no income, according to court documents. | |
Zimmerman’s finances were made public as part of a misdemeanor stalking case where he is accused of sending threatening text messages to a private investigator. Zimmerman filed paperwork about his financial situation in the case, listing that he is unemployed and has no money in cash, bank accounts or equity on property. | |
He is being represented by a public defender in the case in Florida involving the private investigator, Dennis Warren, who had contacted Zimmerman about a documentary series on Martin produced by Jay-Z. Zimmerman sent Warren several calls and texts in December, according to police. | He is being represented by a public defender in the case in Florida involving the private investigator, Dennis Warren, who had contacted Zimmerman about a documentary series on Martin produced by Jay-Z. Zimmerman sent Warren several calls and texts in December, according to police. |
In a two-hour period on 16 December, Zimmerman called Warren 21 times, sent him 38 text messages and left seven voicemails, according to local news channel WKMG. | |
In July 2013, Zimmerman was acquitted of a second-degree murder charge for the 2012 killing of 17-year-old Trayvon, an event that sparked widespread outrage and was a huge factor in spurring the Black Lives Matter movement. | |
Trayvon’s family said this week that they are owed $150,000 by the Weinstein Company, which they say entered into a deal to purchase rights to a possible movie and TV series based on a book about their son, Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin. | |
