George Zimmerman Brother: He'll Be Looking Over His Shoulder Rest of His Life
He's always feared for his safety, his brother said
Following George Zimmerman's acquittal Saturday night in the case of the shooting death of teenager Trayvon Martin, the family of the former neighborhood watch volunteer says safety concerns linger after the verdict.
"He has always feared for his safety, and we have always feared for his safety and our safety as a family," Robert Zimmerman, Jr., Zimmerman's brother, told CNN. "Clearly, he is a free man in the eyes of the court, but he's going to be looking around his shoulder for the rest of his life."
