George Zimmerman and his lawyer have filed a $100 million lawsuit against prosecutors, Trayvon Martin's family, their attorney and a book publisher for allegations that one of the trial's key witnesses was 'an imposter.'
George Zimmerman, the Sanford, Florida, neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted for the murder of Trayvon Martin in 2012, and his lawyer have filed a $100 million lawsuit against prosecutors, Martin's family, their attorney and a book publisher for allegations that one of the trial's key witnesses was"an imposter."
The lawsuit claims then 18-year-old Jeantel was"an imposter and fake witness" and the catalyst to get Zimmerman arrested and charged with the murder of Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman was cleared of all charges after the weeks-long televised trial. Klayman, who founded the nonprofit watchdog organization Judicial Watch, alleges that Jeantel's half-sister Brittany Diamond Eugene was actually on the phone during the deadly encounter and later"coached" Jeantel on how to testify, according to the lawsuit. He said these allegations partly stem from newly discovered evidence in the upcoming film"The Trayvon Hoax: Unmasking the Witness Fraud that Divided America" from director Joel Gilbert.
Other named defendants in the lawsuit include Eugene, current and former Florida prosecutors Bernie de la Rionda, John Guy, Angela Corey, The State of Florida and Florida Department of Law Enforcement . Klayman alleges that all parties"either have known about or should have known about the witness fraud, obstructed justice, or lied repeatedly under oath in order to cover up their knowledge of the witness fraud.
