<div dir="ltr">In Florida can you really put up a high priced defense and then get reimbursed when acquitted? Sounds like a cash cow for Florida defense lawyers.<br><br>'Zimmerman, who is white and Hispanic, was found not guilty of murder and

the verdict.'<br><br><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/zimmerman-lawyer-ask-florida-pay-300-000-legal-042625962.html" target="_blank">http://news.yahoo.com/zimmerman-lawyer-ask-florida-pay-300-000-legal-042625962.html</a><br><br><br> </div>
