Trayvon Martin: New photo, details of George Zimmerman's employment

Trayvon Martin: New photo, details of George Zimmerman's employment

George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watchman who fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last month, remains a mysterious figure as the controversy surrounding him continues to grow.

In hiding since the shooting, little is publicly known about him. However, new details have emerged, shedding light on Zimmerman's religious upbringing and his employment before the shooting.

Two sources have confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel that Zimmerman is, or until recently was, an employee at the Maitland office of Digital Risk, LLC, a mortgage risk-management firm.

"The ex-employee who spoke to the Sentinel expressed shock about the shooting. That source described Zimmerman as an outgoing and friendly man.

"We used to talk to him every single day," the source said."

I'm thinking it should read ""We used to talk to him every single day," the WHITE source said.

Wonder how outgoing and friendly he was toward his fellow Black co-workers.

And, I was just waiting for it to say his position was "security guard", but I was wrong.

Perhaps the heavily Catholic Zimmerman saw the outline of a fecundity weapon. And he was actually talking to his victim of withholding impregnation{girlfriend}.

law. I think he is guilty but he is entitled to a jury. I hope the Martin family gets their day in court and justice.
