Zimmerman hearing set for next week canceled

Next meeting scheduled for February

A hearing for George Zimmerman scheduled for next week has been canceled, WDBO has learned.

Attorneys on both sides have a chance to go before Judge Debra Nelson each month to air out their concerns in what are called docket soundings. This time, neither side had an issue to bring up.

“This case has enflamed passion on all sides of it and it’s dangerous,” defense attorney Mark O’Mara said.

“I’m frustrated that he lives in hiding, he’s absolutely broke, needs money for good defense and cant come up with it,” O’Mara said. “And he’s being put upon by a prosecutor whose come out here and yelling about publicity.”

Zimmerman remains secluded in Seminole county, despite his attorney's efforts to change that.

The next hearing in scheduled for February 5. Zimmerman is facing murder charges in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
