From [HERE] George Zimmerman's defense team has set up a Twitter account, a Facebook page and a website for the neighborhood watch volunteer, who has been in seclusion following death threats. Zimmerman is awaiting trial for killing Trayvon, 17, on Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla.

"We understand that it is unusual for a legal defense to maintain a social media presence on behalf of a defendant, but we also acknowledge that this is a very unusual case," attorney Mark O'Mara says in his first Web posting. O'Mara contends that Zimmerman shot Trayvon in self-defense.

Prosecutors say Zimmerman shot Trayvon after racially profiling the African-American teen-ager. Zimmerman's father is white.  O'Mara said the website, called George Zimmerman Legal Case, is aimed at discrediting fake websites and social profiles that purport to be representing Zimmerman and even raising money on his behaf.
