Attorneys for George Zimmerman withdraw from case
In a totally unexpected twist to a case that has gripped many parts of the world, defense attorneys for George Zimmerman, the Florida neighborhood watch captain who fatally shot unarmed teen Trayvon Martin this past February, have withdrawn from the case after Zimmerman directly contacted prosecutors, a TV journalist and set up a website without their knowledge, Reuters is reporting.
With just two weeks remaining before his trial, George Zimmerman returns to court Tuesday for what may be his last pretrial hearing, a session that could turn into a marathon with his attorneys asking for a trial delay and asking that an especially damaging state audio expert be banned from testifying.
