George Zimmerman, the man acquitted in the 2012 shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin, is now suing the family of the slain 17-year-old, among others, for $100 million.  According to the lawsuit, Zimmerman accuses Martin’s family, friends and legal representatives of framing him and lying during the trial.  Martin’s family has called the suit “unfounded and reckless.”  Since his acquittal, Zimmerman hasn’t exactly kept a low profile. He has been arrested in several alleged domestic incidents, and in 2016 he put the gun used to kill Martin up for auction.  Also of note, his lawyer in this new suit once filed a “birther” lawsuit falsely claiming former President Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States.
