Trayvon Martin's Family Settles Wrongful Death Suit Trayvon Martin's family has reached a settlement in a wrongful death suit they filed against the homeowners association of the sub-division where Martin was killed, the Orlando Sentinel reports. Martin was shot to death just steps from his father's home on Feb. 26, 2012, by volunteer neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman. The case drew national attention last year as the Sanford Police Department vacillated on whether to file charges against Zimmerman, who indicated that he'd shot Martin only after being attacked. Zimmerman has been charged with second degree murder and is currently awaiting trial. Portions of the settlement released Friday do not specify how much money Martin's family will receive, but according to the Sentinel, the figure is believed to be in excess of $1 million. The settlement does, however, state that Zimmerman is not part of the agreement. Lawyers for Martin's family have made it clear that they still plan to file a civil claim against Zimmerman at a later point. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/05/trayvon-martin-wrongful-death-suit_n_3022300.html |

It's just a small homeowners association, not much to be had. |

I'll give them one year! Then they'll be just as broke as the woman that won 10 million dollars! |

The only thing I'd settle for if I was Trayvon's parents is a dead George Zimmerman. |
