The suit in Polk County Circuit Court cites information in a documentary about the case that accuses the Martin family of engineering false testimony, and the director has scheduled a press conference this week in Coral Gables to coincide with a film screening there. The suit seeks $100 million in civil damages, alleging defamation, abuse of civil process and conspiracy. A copy of the suit was distributed to media Wednesday by the movies’ director, Joe Gilbert.


Could this just be a publicity stunt for the documentary?

The Martin family, Crump, etc. suck

But there is no defending Zimmerman anymore. He didn't murder Trayvon but he is a hothead douchebag

No way he wins. Any judge that rules in his favor will lose his seat. Unless there is blatant evidence of a miscarriage of justice or perjury or whatever, he’s going to get himself in a very nasty spotlight. This dude just needs to go away.

"I'm Spencer Callahan, and you're watching the Saints on Fox 44."

No shite, Spence, I had no idea. Thanks for letting me know.

He is an a-hole but not for this. The kid attacked him and he shot him in self defense and was subsequently railroaded as a racist white supremacist murderer. He deserves some compensation for that. Probably cant go anywhere without people harassing him.

I'll meet you close by with this. I can agree with most of it, but I still feel like if Zimmerman didn't act like an arse that night and act all authoritarian to Trayvon, nothing would have ever happened to anyone and the world would never know who arse Zimmerman is.

Sounds like they’re going to make money off a fake documentary that will slander George.

Sue them and take that money George.

This. Zimmerman should have let the police handle Martin. Dumbass should have stayed inside and leave well enough alone.

People are harassing him cause the dude is a straight up dick. You realize he's been involved in 5 other incidents, with the law, since this shooting?

Guess he can’t find a job and needs some money. Probably hopes to settle for $1-2 million out of court, primarily coming from the prosecutors

I don't have a problem with forcing the govt to pay him for his troubles. Never should have gone to trial. Certainly not 100m. maybe 200K plus lawyer fees.

I think the movie is defending him, not attacking him. That's why I thought this lawsuit could just be a gimmick to get the documentary into the news.

Yea, I looked up the docs director and it's based on his book.
The Amazon description:
quote:

In this stunning work of investigative journalism, filmmaker Joel Gilbert uncovers the true story of the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, a tragedy that divided America. By examining Trayvon’s 750-page cell phone records, Gilbert discovers that the key witness for the prosecution of George Zimmerman, the plus-sized 18-year-old Rachel Jeantel, was a fraud. It was in fact a different girl who was on the phone with Trayvon just before he was shot. She was the 16-year-old named "Diamond" whose recorded conversation with attorney Benjamin Crump ignited the public, swayed President Obama, and provoked the nation's media to demand Zimmerman's arrest. Gilbert's painstaking research takes him through the high schools of Miami, into the back alleys of Little Haiti, and to finally to Florida State University where he finds Trayvon's real girlfriend, the real phone witness, Diamond Eugene. Gilbert confirms his revelations with forensic handwriting analysis and DNA testing. After obtaining unredacted court documents and reading Diamond's vast social media archives, Gilbert then reconstructs the true story of Trayvon Martin's troubled teenage life and tragic death. In the process, he exposes in detail the most consequential hoax in recent American judicial history, The Trayvon Hoax, that was ground zero for the downward spiral of race relations in America.
