US | George Zimmerman George Zimmerman: I Have No Job, No Assets, Owe $2.5M Man acquitted in Trayvon Martin case does have public defender to help with new stalking charges By Jenn Gidman Posted May 24, 2018 8:37 AM CDT Copied In this Sept. 13, 2016, file photo, George Zimmerman testifies in a Seminole County courtroom in Orlando, Fla. (Red Huber/Orlando Sentinel via AP, Pool, File) George Zimmerman is back in the legal system, apparently a little poorer this time around. CNN reports public defender Blaise Trettis has been assigned to Zimmerman—the Florida man acquitted in the 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin—after Zimmerman told a Seminole County court that he has no job, is $2.5 million in debt, and has no assets to speak of. Zimmerman is facing stalking charges after he was accused of threatening a private investigator working on a Jay-Z documentary about Trayvon Martin. The Orlando Sentinel reports that Trettis has filed a not-guilty plea on Zimmerman's behalf and asked for a jury trial for his client. Read These Next Her blood isn't compatible with anyone else's.
