George Zimmerman saga's bizarre twist: lawyers have 'lost contact' with him
The Trayvon Martin case took a dramatic and unexpected turn Tuesday afternoon when George Zimmerman's legal team held a hastily convened press conference to announce they are no longer representing him.
Mr. Zimmerman, who has not spoken publicly since he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon in February, is currently the target of an investigation by a special prosecutor to determine whether he will face charges stemming from the shooting. Zimmerman has said he was acting in self-defense.
Attorneys Hal Uhrig and Craig Sonner have been speaking on his behalf to the national media. But in their surprising press conference Tuesday, they revealed that since Sunday, Zimmerman has not returned any of their calls, e-mails, or text messages.
"I've lost contact with him at this point," said Mr. Sonner.
Zimmerman has also been acting in somewhat bizarre ways, his attorneys said, including contacting the special prosecutor, Angela Corey, directly which his attorneys say they never would have advised him to do as well as Fox News' Sean Hannity.
