Nearly a decade after George Zimmerman fatally shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, the former neighborhood watch volunteer filed a defamation and conspiracy lawsuit against the victim's parents. A Florida judge, however, just dismissed the suit, affirming that "there can be no claim for conspiracy to defraud if there is no adequately stated claim for fraud."
Martin's tragic death sparked international attention as thousands rallied for Zimmerman's arrest and amplified demands for racial justice. Sybrina Fulton, Martin's mother and defendant in Zimmerman's suit, recently revisited the murder and the attention it received.
