George Zimmerman, center, talks to his attorneys Don West, left, and Mark O'Mara as a jury weighs his fate in July. The neighborhood watch volunteer will ask the state to pay between $200,000 and $300,000 in legal feels after his acquittal on charges he murdered Trayvon Martin during a deadly altercation in Sanford last year.
ORLANDO, Fla. — George Zimmerman's attorney has told a newspaper that he plans to ask the state of Florida to cover $200,000 to $300,000 of his legal expenses.
The Orlando Sentinel says Mark O'Mara told the paper Monday evening that because Zimmerman was acquitted, state law requires Florida to pay all his legal costs.
O'Mara said Monday that was going to make a motion asking Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson to authorize the payments.
O'Mara said he expects the state to challenge much of the billing request. O'Mara told the Sentinel that he hasn't been paid anything for his 16-month defense of Zimmerman — but added that had he charged his normal $400-an-hour fee, he would have been entitled to over $1 million.
The 29-year-old Zimmerman was acquitted last month of all charges including second-degree murder in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla., last year. His murder trial lasted five weeks.
An after-hours email sent to defense attorneys was not immediately answered.
