I'm telling you. Seeing him use malicious prosecution as a claim is an extra twist of the knife. That's supposed to protect people from vigilantism-type behavior and he is the perfect example of a bigoted vigilante. He IS the threat and he's trying to claim he was threatened? And that Trayvon's parents lied? He can get out. Just get the fuck out.
He and Joel Gilbert, referenced in the article, can both go DIAF.
"The suit’s allegations are the result of what’s been published in a book and film by film director Joel Gilbert, called “The Trayvon Hoax: Unmasking the Witness Fraud that Divided America.”"
"Gilbert is a filmmaker known for conspiracy theories: Other documentaries by Gilbert include 2012′s “Dreams from My Real Father,” based on the unsubstantiated theory that President Barack Obama’s father was secretly an American communist. He also reportedly advanced the debunked claims that Obama’s wedding ring is inscribed with a Muslim prayer and President Bill Clinton had a secret son with a prostitute.
"The complaint alleges that in March 2012, the Sanford Police Department closed the case as self-defense. But a week later," a conspiracy took place where a person who lied about being Trayvon's girlfriend also lied about overhearing things on the phone when Zimmermann shot Martin, lied about her identity, and this fraud was taken forth by the prosecution as the primary basis of their case, resulting in defamation of Zimmermann's character subjecting him to a smear campaign and excessive cost for his defense.
This Joel Gilbert is a freak opportunist who feeds on the fears and suspicions of the ignorant, racists, xenophobes, etc. to stir up conspiracies that aren't remotely real but get perpetuated as truth via social media, email chains, etc. and I would say helped get Trump in office today. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Trump has the guy on his payroll. But at this point Zimmermann is basing his lawsuit on the "unveiled conspiracy theory" that Gilbert has made into a movie.
