arena, the courtroom. zimmerman has to make a case for his reimbursement and he may not get everything he s asking for. but whatever taxpayers pay, add it to the bill they re already picking up for jury costs, court security costs and the costs to the city of sanford. a list of expenses the orlando sentinel recently estimated at $902,000. and all of the numbers that are being thrown around right now, they do not include the big number which is what george zimmerman actually owes his attorney, mark omara just based on his billable hours george zimmerman owes him about $1 million that hasn t been paid and that goes also for other attorneys working on this case, jessica? that is a lot of money. david, what kind of reaction have you heard from trayvon martin s family? we reached out to them for a comment through their attorney, but we did not hear back from them today. i did have a very interesting
tragedy, not just for his family or for any one community, but for america. i now ask every american to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. mark savage joins me live from sanford. do we have any idea where george zimmerman is now, what he s doing? no, we don t, anderson. good evening to you, by the way. right now it s a mystery as to where he is. i think i could say with assurance he s not in the city of sanford. i would be surprised if he s in the state of florida. his defense team wants it that way. joining is me live is cnn legal analyst and criminal defense attorney jeffrey toobin. sunny hostin will be joining us shortly. mark garagos also joins us. let s just get first impressions.
prosecutors withheld information in the case. so what can those guys do now that george zimmerman has been acquitted. you ve got case that sanford top cop bill lee, he says city managers, people down in sanford, said to him we just want an arrest. as it turns out, he was right, there wasn t a case. what can he do now? he can obviously sue the city, bring some kind of a civil lawsuit against the city of sanford. i think the better question, though, steve, is whether or not chief lee is telling the truth in this case, and i actually think he was and he is. i do believe he was ordered to make an arrest which actually does no service to trayvon nor to george zimmerman if that is the case. any time politicians get involved in cases like this, local cases like this and start telling your police department you have to make an arrest, that s not a good thing. the police department are the experts.
