Zimmerman Lawyers Were Once Supporters Of Judge Who Has Knocked Them About Florida Courtroom
The Smoking Gun ^ | 7-12-2013

Years before they would endure a televised pummeling in the Florida courtroom of Judge Debra Nelson, the two lawyers representing accused murderer George Zimmerman actually donated money to the prickly jurist’s first election campaign, records show.

In 1999, Republican Governor Jeb Bush appointed Nelson, a lifelong Democrat, to fill a vacancy in the 18th Judicial Circuit (covering Seminole and Brevard counties). When Nelson ran the following year for a full six-year term, she donated 85 percent of her campaign’s $151,000 war chest

Interesting, thanks for posting.

That said, I’m only just now seeing this by chance. Keywords needed to be added.
