6:21Now Playing"George Zimmerman, the man who shot black teenager Trayvon Martin in February, is suing US television network NBC, saying the broadcaster intentionally edited and repeatedly aired a non-emergency phone call he made to police before shooting and killing Martin "to create the myth" that he was a racist.
Attorneys for Zimmerman, who maintains he shot Martin in self-defence in February during a struggle, said the lawsuit seeking an undisclosed amount in damages was filed in the same central Florida court where he will stand trial in June for murder."*
George Zimmerman is suing NBC for editing a tape to make him look more racist in the Trayvon Martin case. But is it all NBC's fault that Zimmerman came off as racist? Is he unfairly blaming the news outlet for his actions of stalking and killing an unarmed teenager? What about his newly released pictures? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss Zimmerman's case.
