George Zimmerman may need a place to live. A Florida jury acquitted the Manassas native in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman's lawyers argued he was defending himself in a struggle with Martin.
Since the verdict was handed down Saturday, few have seen Zimmerman, who has been the subject of several threats. Experts say he may never be able to again lead a normal life, no matter where he lives.
The Daily Mail reports Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara said his client may have to move to another area to continue his life.
"If I was him I would go somewhere else," O'Mara said. "I don't think he can work. I don't think anyone can hire him... George is a pariah."
Before Zimmerman moved to Sanford, Fla., the 29-year-od called Manassas home.
He is a 2001 graduate of Manassas city’s only high school, Osbourn, and once served as an alter boy at All Saints Catholic Church in Manassas.
After graduation from high school, he applied to the Prince William County Police Department, but his application was rejected in 2009, likely because of credit issues, according to testimony given by a PWC Police officer during Zimmerman’s trial.
