George Zimmerman Case Continues

As the world turns, George Zimmerman reality has been turned upside down into a whirlwind frenzy.

Since the murder of Trayvon Martin - an unarmed black 17year old - Zimmerman has went into hiding for the sake of his life. Zimmerman has recently created a website called TheRealGeorgeZimmerman.com in which he is asking for help from his supporters to pay for his legal fees. Zimmerman released a statement on his website about this situation:

"I am the real George Zimmerman,On Sunday February 26th, I was involved in a life altering event which led me to become the subject of intense media coverage. As a result of the incident and subsequent media coverage, I  have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family and ultimately, my entire life. This website's sole purpose is to ensure my supporters they are receiving my full attention without any intermediaries.
    It has come to my attention that some persons and/or entities have been collecting funds, thinly veiled as my “Defense Fund” or "Legal Fund". I cannot attest to the validity of these other websites as I have not received any funds collected, intended to support my family and I through this trying, tragic time.
    I have created a Paypal account solely linked on this website as I would like to provide an avenue to thank my supporters personally and ensure that any funds provided are used only for living expenses and legal defense, in lieu of my forced inability to maintain employment. I will also personally, maintain accountability of all funds received. I reassure you, every donation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
    George Zimmerman"
Earlier today (4/10) two attorneys (Craig Sonner & Hal Uhrig) from Zimmerman legal team decided to step down from the case. The two attorneys have not heard from Zimmerman since Sunday and he has gone against their advice on contacting the special prosecutor who will decide if he should face charges. Both attorneys have agreed to represent Zimmerman if he ask them.

But not everybody is totally against Zimmerman and this whole situation. A Sanford, Fl. resident created a bunch of 'I Support Chief Billy Lee' wristbands (photo below) to show her support for the Sanford police chief who did not press charges on Zimmerman.
Also someone spray painted 'Long Live Zimmerman' (photo below) on the wall of the Frank W. Hale Jr. black cultural center at Ohio State University.
