ORLANDO - George Zimmerman's attorney has told a newspaper
that he plans to ask the state of Florida to cover $200,000 to $300,000 of his
legal expenses.
The Orlando Sentinel says Mark O'Mara told the paper Monday
evening that because Zimmerman was acquitted, state law requires Florida to pay
all his legal costs.
O'Mara said Monday that was going to make a motion asking
Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson to authorize the payments.
The 29-year-old Zimmerman was acquitted last month of all
charges including second-degree murder in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon
Martin in Sanford, Fla., last year. His murder trial lasted five weeks.
