Follow-Up of the Day: George Zimmerman's Lawyers Call It Quits

The lawyers for George Zimmerman, who shot and killed Trayvon Martin in February, are no longer representing him, citing poor communication on Zimmerman's part. "On Sunday, we lost track of George, in that he would not return our calls," attorney Hal Uhrig said. Said attorney Craig Sonner, "I've lost contact with him at this point." The attorneys, who have been publicly representing Zimmerman in the media, also said that he called Sean Hannity of Fox News, and the office of the special prosecutor in the case, both moves Zimmerman didn't discuss with his legal team. "We were a bit astonished," Uhrig said.

Zimmerman remains in hiding, though he launched a personal website over the weekend seeking donations to help cover expenses.
