Man accused of shooting at George Zimmerman gets help with legal fees
The man accused of shooting at George Zimmerman filed a motion on Tuesday saying he doesn't have enough money to pay for his legal fees.
Matthew Apperson is facing second-degree attempted murder charges after prosecutors say he shot at Zimmerman last year during a confrontation along Lake Mary Boulevard.
Apperson says he fired that shot in self-defense after Zimmerman pointed a gun at him first.
The judge granted Apperson's indigency motion.
Apperson was out on bail in the shooting, but it was revoked after he was charged in a separate case.
Zimmerman was acquitted in the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
