Polk County, Fla. — He’s back,
George Zimmerman has sued Trayvon Martin's parents, their attorney, prosecutors and others for $100 million.
Zimmerman, a former Sanford neighborhood watch volunteer, was acquitted in July 2013 in the February 2012 shooting death of Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old boy who was walking home from a convenience store.
The lawsuit, filed in Polk County, where Zimmerman now lives, cites information in a documentary about the case that accuses the Martin family of engineering false testimony.
The suit seeks $100 million in civil damages, alleging defamation, abuse of civil process and conspiracy.
The defendants include Martin's parents, their attorney, three state prosecutors, the State of Florida and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
