George Zimmerman is stepping back into the media spotlight — and that is generating sparks of controversy.

It’s understandable that plenty of people never want to see his face again. He is the man who killed Trayvon Martin, and while he was acquitted of murder in their fatal street encounter, the fact remains that an unarmed black teenager is dead.

Since the Florida trial that became a media sensation, Zimmerman has had several run-ins with law enforcement. After his wife left him, his 27-year-old girlfriend called police and said he had aimed a shotgun at her, and authorities arrested him and temporarily confiscated a shotgun, assault-style rifle and three handguns.

But whatever his polarizing behavior, is Zimmerman a newsworthy interview subject? Absolutely. And he was, like it or not, found not guilty.

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo taped an interview with Zimmerman that ran on “New Day” this morning. Zimmerman dodged questions about whether he regrets killing Trayvon and said he’d been made a “scapegoat” for “the government, the president, the attorney general.”

In a sitdown that aired Sunday, Zimmerman told Univision that he is homeless, deeply in debt and fighting post-traumatic stress disorder.
