Though acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the incident, George Zimmerman shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, a Black teen carrying Skittles and an iced tea on his way back from a store at the time.
Zimmerman went on to rack up aggravated assault allegations against his girlfriend, though they didn’t net charges because she walked back her claims in 2015, according to CNN.
Then Zimmerman decided to launch a $100 million defamation lawsuit against Martin's parents, civil rights attorney Ben Crump, and others linked to his murder case. And with that, a Florida judge finally decided enough is enough. Tallahassee Judge John Cooper dismissed the lawsuit in its entirety, writing in an order filed more than two weeks ago that Zimmerman failed to show “any fraudulent representation,”the Associated Press reported on Monday.
