Travyon Martin shooter sues Martin family
George Zimmerman, the watch captain of a small neighborhood in Sanford, Florida, rose to fame in 2012 as the man responsible for mortally shooting teenager Travyon Martin as he was returning from the grocery store. Zimmerman maintained that he shot in self-defense, and was acquitted, to nationwide outcry. Zimmerman is now suing the Martin family, state prosecutors and two witnesses for damages over 100 million USD.
