Trayvon Martin Trial

Recommended Posts

George Zimmerman famously raised over $300,000 online for a defense fund during his Trayvon Martin case, but according to his former lawyer, George didn't actually use the money to pay his legal fees. Mark O'Mara recently sat down for an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, where he was asked if he had any words for his former client, and replied "Pay me." 

 
The defense fund page shows that the first expense was $95,000 for bail, which was never credited back after the guilty verdict. Additionally, $61,747.54 was spent for 8 months of living expenses, and $56,100 on security. Later on the page it states, "Mr. O'Mara and Mr. West have not been paid for their services. Money has been used to pay rent on office space, for IT support, for staff dedicated to the case."
 
According to the page, Zimmerman admitted that he didn't use the funds for his legal defense. How do you think those who donated will feel about the way Zimmerman spent their money?
