<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Florida judge has dismissed George Zimmerman’s 2019 <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/george-zimmerman-set-to-file-a-100m-defamation-lawsuit-against-trayvon-martins-parents/"> lawsuit</a> for $100 million against the parents of Trayvon Martin, Black teen fatally shot by Zimmerman in 2012 while walking back from a store.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Judge John Cooper dismissed all counts against all parties listed including,Trayvon&#8217;s parents Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, attorney Ben Crump, and others, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/violence-lawsuits-florida-race-and-ethnicity-tallahassee-f565fbbaa675d7eba5fe654a2e0047d1">AP reports</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Tallahassee judge stated that Zimmerman did not show “any fraudulent representation.” He also said that any further discussions about the case would be pointless.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There can be no claim for conspiracy to defraud if there is no adequately stated claim for fraud.” Cooper wrote in the order.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to Zimmerman’s lawsuit, he claimed that Brittany Diamond Eugene was on the phone with Martin before he was fatally shot and not her half-sister Rachel Jeantel. He claimed that Jeantel, who actually testified, pretended to be on the phone with Martin on the night of the incident in 2012.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Zimmerman also claimed that Trayvon’s parents and Crump were involved in a conspiracy to file charges against him. AP also reports that Zimmerman stated they wanted to “destroy his goodwill and reputation in the community.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Zimmerman also claimed he was portrayed as a murderer and a racist in the lawsuit filed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ultimately, Zimmerman went on to be acquitted for the 2012 murder of Trayvon Martin. The case brought national attention to Florida’s “stand your ground” law and racial injustices across the country.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Feb 26th will be ten years since the passing of Trayvon Martin. </span></p>
