Lawyer: Zimmerman Raises Over $200,000 for Defense

HeadlineApr 27, 2012

George Zimmerman, the Florida man charged in the killing of Trayvon Martin, has reportedly raised over $200,000 for his defense. The money was collected through Zimmerman’s now-defunct website, which contained photos of pro-Zimmerman slogans, including a sign at a rally by Koran-burning Pastor Terry Jones and a photo of a vandalized black cultural center at Ohio State University where someone spray-painted the words “Long Live Zimmerman.” Zimmerman was released on $150,000 bail earlier this week.
