According to a report from The Blast, George Zimmerman is $2.5 million in debt, unemployed, and can't afford a lawyer for his current legal issues.
Zimmerman reportedly filed paperwork requesting a public defender to represent him against accusations that he harassed a private investigator hired by the production company of an upcoming Trayvon Martin documentary produced by Jay-Z.
Zimmerman’s request for a public defender was granted. The 34-year-old Florida resident claimed in documents that he has zero assets, and zero money in the bank.
In 2013, Zimmerman was found innocent of second-degree murder after shooting and killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman claimed self-defense in the Martin shooting, under Florida’s "Stand Your Ground" law.
Since his acquittal, Zimmerman has had several run-ins with the law, including assault and domestic violence charges.
Despite dodging jail time, Zimmerman has been ostracized by society for repeatedly attempting to cash in on the Martin shooting. He also tried to make money by participating in a celebrity boxing match that was later canceled and reportedly auctioned off the gun used to kill Martin.
Zimmerman now stands accused of “willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly” following, harassing, or cyberstalking, Dennis Albert Warren in December of 2017. He is scheduled to attend an arraignment on May 30.
