George Zimmerman Escapes Murder Conviction But Flees Miami Over Huge Bounty; Acquitted Killer Planning To Be A Lawyer?

Acquitted killer George Zimmerman may have escaped murder conviction but he reportedly fled Miami after he was told there's a huge bounty on his head, TMZ reported.

In the report, George Zimmerman spent time at the beach with girlfriend and her kid. Also tagging along was his brother when people started harassing him. That's when somebody from the crowd told George Zimmerman that there's a $10,000 bounty on his head.

According to TMZ, the report "freaked him out" and they quickly filed out to the hotel with the crowd directly behind them.

He managed to finish an interview with CNN the next morning before escaping Miami, presumably for good.

The TMZ said the bounty is much more than an urban myth as a video posted online by "Black Panthers" showed one of the leaders putting $1 million reward on his head.

George Zimmerman was tagged in the 2013 killing of Trayvon Martin, who was walking in the exclusive neighborhood in Sanford town, in what prosecutors claimed was racial profiling. The teenager was on his way home after buying Skittles and iced tea from a convenience store.

He was later acquitted of the crime which has whittled down to the issue about race.

Meanwhile, the Celebrity Boxing aspirant said during the CNN interview on Monday that he wants to be a lawyer someday.

"I think that's the best way to stop the miscarriage of justice that happened to me from happening to somebody else. I don't think it should ever happen to anyone ever again, not one person," he said.

Also in the CNN interview, he confirmed that his life is constantly being threatened.

"I have a lot of people saying that, you know, they guarantee that they're going to kill me and I'll never be a free man. "I realize that they don't know me. They know who I was portrayed to be," he said.
