George Zimmerman’s Legal Team Calls It Quits

Orange County Jail(SANFORD, Fla.) -- In a hastily convened news conference, George Zimmerman's legal team said Tuesday they would no longer represent the man who fatally shot unarmed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman's lawyers said they are withdrawing from the case because they have lost contact with Zimmerman, who is refusing to answer their calls, texts and emails.

Zimmerman, 28, a self-appointed neighborhood watch captain, shot and killed the unarmed teenager Feb. 26 after following him for several minutes.
