Zimmerman Sues NBC Over Edited 911 Call

When the Zimmerman case first hit the public spotlight NBC released an edited 911 tape to make it appear as though Zimmerman's actions were race related. NBC's actions may make Zimmerman a very wealthy man:

Lawyers for George Zimmerman are seeking punitive damages from NBC over edits of a police call he made on the night Trayvon Martin was killed.

They allege heavily edited extracts of the call made Mr Zimmerman appear racist in the eyes of the public.

NBC issued over the incident but by then the damage had been done. In the eye's of the public Zimmerman was viewed as a racist who gunned down Trayvon Martin not because he was pounding Zimmerman's head into the pavement but because he was black. To this day people are still stating that Zimmerman's actions were race related even though evidence strongly supports Zimmerman's claim that he was being attacked by Trayvon and fired in self-defense.
