Scum bags all..........
It is often cheaper to settle than win in court

After the lawyers get theirs, Trayvon’s parents will be lucky if they get $85.38 out of the deal.
I can't think of anything more disgusting.
Whaddya want from a bunch of urbanite Obama voters I suppose......
Wait a minute. Isn’t one feature of the castle doctrine and stand your ground that you cannot be sued in civil court for defending yourself?
Thug wannabee got his comeuppance. And parents get some money.
Holders/Obamas people get on rolling.

Probably a bargain for society. Think of how much a budding thug like little travomn would have cost us? How many robberies,rapes, are murders would he have commited after killing zimmerman? Eventually the law would have caught up. How much would we have paid for a public defender, endless appeals and all the prison housing costs? In the end trayvon would have become a Muslim in prison. One day,not too far off, Holder would grant black muslim prisoners blanket amnesty to be let out and kill all the whiteys he could. So a million is a bargain.
They often decide to settle rather than take the chance on an unfavorable verdict. If there's a history of high jury verdicts in the county, plus the notoriety of the case, it's a good business decision.
Plus, in many states (I don't know about FL specifically) if a plaintiff's lawyer makes a demand and the insurer does not settle, and the verdict comes in for more than the demand, the insurer is on the hook for the entire amount plus attorney fees and costs.
So yeah, it's a good business decision.
You know who got most of it? The lawyers! 33 1/3 % plus expenses. By the time they’re through the deceased’s family will get a few thousand.
What a country! Only in America can a worthless piece of thug flesh end up being valued at $1M.
Weez rich!
These Rotney King lookalikes will speand every p[enny of that million in 6 months.
They will be Obama rich only spending their blood money instead of our taxes.
I guess they’ll next go after hoodie manufacturerers and the vendors who sell them. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
They should not have payed a cent. The boy tried to kill a watchman.
Sorry, but if someone is trying to cause death or serious injury to you, and you kill that person in self-defense, it’s not wrongful death. The homeowner’s association whimped out. And now shootings in self defense will be followed by lawsuits. Oh well, I guess it’s better to be sued than to be dead.
The amount in the settlement is not known, and supposedly not to be made public by any involved party.
This is a Crump “avoid the appeal of the denial of a court ordered deposition” move.
Well, I guess the entire shakedown operation had to hurry up and happen before the opportunity for reparations from deep pockets was lost.
George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin.
That's a fact, and not disputed by anyone.
Am I alone in wondering what justice was served by this settlement?
Zimmerman isn't personally paying for it.
We don't know if it was murder, or justifiable self-defense yet.
