The discovery process in a nice lawsuit should tell us. Bear in mind, Zimmerman’s father was a judge. They’ll know when and how to proceed.

He was a “Justice of the Peace”. Career military man.

If Zimmerman can manage to stay alive, he should have a nice little nest egg in which to live out his days. I hope his lawyer is savvy enough to clean the offending media and networks' financial clocks. Do not settle - take these s.o.b.'s to court and expose them for the frauds they are.

Does anyone know if the Zimmerman family has filed in court against NBC for this? My understanding is that the electronic media is considered in the same realm as printed material, so I would think libel laws would apply. Seems to me it would be a slam-dunk case. George Zimmerman is not a public figure so the “absence of malice” test would not apply. The case seems to meet the definition of libel, false information (falsely portrayed as a racist) that caused demonstrable harm (ruined reputation in the community). I know if it were me, I'd sue them for everything they had, and make it the Zimmerman Broadcasting Company (for a short time, then liquidate the whole corrupt mess).
