George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted in the 2012 fatal shooting of unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin, is suing Martin's family and Florida prosecutors, claiming that they engineered false evidence in the homicide trial.
The lawsuit filed Wednesday in Polk County Circuit Court seeks $100million in civil damages for defamation, abuse of civil process and conspiracy.
It alleges that the prosecution's key witness in Zimmerman's 2013 murder trial, Rachel Jeantel, was an imposter coached by the family and their lawyers.
The lead defendant in the suit is Sybrina Fulton, Martin's mother. Fulton became a nationally-acclaimed advocate for social justice and reducing gun violence in the wake of her son's death, and is now running for a seat on the Miami-Dade County Commission.

Go get em Zimm
It's pay back time....!
I hope he wins
Miami Herold exposed "Little Trayvon" for the violent criminal teen he really was. Then other media refused to share the truth with the rest of the country.
Trayvon's mother is now a millionaire and she hangs out with Hillary. She is too stupid to realize that Hillary only wants her friendship because she 8s a black female.
I hope he wins too
