George Zimmerman, the Florida man charged with killing unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, has sued NBCUniversal Media LLC and three of its current and former reporters for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress, claiming they edited audio and misreported the content of his 911 call in an attempt to paint him as “a racist and predatory villain.”
A clerk in the Circuit Court of the 18th Judicial Circuit in and for Seminole County, Fla., confirmed to The Legal on Thursday that the suit had been filed and provided the docket number “2012CA006178.”
