Zimmerman's Lawyers Withdraw From Shooting Case

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) - Two attorneys for the Florida neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin said Tuesday that they have withdrawn as his counsel because they haven't heard from him in days and he is taking actions related to the case without consulting them.

Attorney Craig Sonner and Hal Uhrig said at a news conference they haven't heard from George Zimmerman since Sunday. They said that against their advice, Zimmerman contacted the special prosecutor who will decide if he should face charges. A spokeswoman for Angela Corey's office didn't immediately respond to an email and two phone calls.

I guess decided no need to pay them if he doesn't need them because self defense is not against the law.

Evidently you can't read or comprehend what you do read.

On a side note, Mr. Zimmerman has set up a site where anyone can donate money for him. And there is also a link to send him messages. (Positive ones I would hope)

Didn't they volunteer to represent him? Regardless, that's not why they left.

I thought the Black Panthers (Obama's Cocaine buddies) were going to represent Zimmerman!

They represent the percentage of people who are: ignorant, uneducated, racist, violent, unemployed, welfare recipients, people who voted for Obama thinking he was going to give them money and fill up their gas tank, and people who accept no responsibility and blame others for all of their problems.

Other than that they just like to wear army surplus clothes, hang out at voting places, carry nightsticks, wear binoculars around their neck, wear officer insignia and dark sunglasses, and the more affluent ones own bullhorns.

Other than that, they are just a small men's club that most consider a nuisance.

Time for the NRA to step in here and use some of my dues money to defend an innocent man.

If: They were my attorney's and did nothing when the Black Panthers put a bounty on my head with posters and internet exposure I would fire them or as he has done, not communicate with them.
They have been to date, dismal representation. They have consistently missed the mark in the court of public opinion.

Absolutely, especially when you have pimply faced punks espousing their personal views thru the media where they are employed.
