George Zimmerman, Florida's favorite Caucasian-Hispanic, has just filed a $100 million civil action against the parents of Trayvon Martin and the local constabulary.
You will no doubt remember that Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin to death in 2012. He was eventually arrested and charged, but in 2013 a jury found him not guilty.
Zimmerman is suing the parents of the young Mr. Martin, who was a juvenile at the time as well as two women who allegedly provided fake witness testimony to the cops. He is also suing the cops and the DA for malicious prosecution and defamation. Also, to round it out he is suing the Martin family lawyer, Benjamin Crump and Crump's publisher.
The cause of action is negligent and malicious infliction of mental anguish.
My GUESS is that he may have a case against the parents and the witnesses. Going after the cops, the DA and an author and publisher may be a serious stretch, and the family and the two women probably don't have $100 million.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Zimmerman has made such an ass of himself since he was acquitted of Trayvon's killing, that he probably won't be able to squeeze even a dime out of any jury.

This will be interesting to watch. Zimmerman was thrown under the bus and even President Obama piled on. BGB may be right, his behavior after his acquittal may hurt his chances of a judgement in his favor.
True, but under the law the juvenile's parents may have some exposure here. Also maybe the false witnesses. As far as the others go I think he is spinning his wheels, but......
