The unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, may have you thinking of last year's events in Florida, where George Zimmerman, a white man, went on trial for shooting and killing Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager.

One of the key figures in that trial has landed in Champaign County and has put out a book telling his side of the story.

WDWS reporter Tim Ditman delved into this story in a three part series this week. In his first report, Ditman takes us back to that Florida courtroom.

In report number two, Ditman talks about why Shiping Bao believes his testimony at Zimmerman's trial started his downfall.

In his final report, Ditman talks about how Bao is finally able to enjoy life again after the events in Florida.

Listen to Ditman's full 70-plus minute interview with Bao.

George Zimmerman's murder of Trayvon Martin has caused great distress to the people closet to him and his parents are legally stating they felt the burdened aftermath of his deeds.

They are suing comedian/actress Roseanne Barr for sharing their address on Twitter while the entire world was calling for their son to be arrested in March of 2012.

Reports NYDailyNews:

Robert and Gladys Zimmerman say the tweet by Barr on March 29, 2012, caused $600,000 in emotional distress, according to federal court documents, after they were forced to "flee their house in the middle of the night."

Of that amount, about $37,400 will cover additional expenses such as hotel rooms, travel, meals out and laundry, since they couldn't live at their Lake Mary, Fla., property after Barr shared their address.

Roseanne Barr is being sued by the parents of George Zimmerman, who say they endured emotional distresss after she shared their address on Twitter.

The comedian later deleted the tweet shared with more than 100,000 people, which also included their telephone number and names, court documents show, but journalists had already descended upon their home.

Barr engaged her Twitter followers after deleting the message, justifying her decision by saying she was simply combating Zimmerman's vigilantism with a taste of his own medicine.

Zimmermans want $750,000 from Roseanne Barr for tweet

The parents of George Zimmerman want comedienne Roseanne Barr to pay them $750,000 because she posted their address on Twitter, according to federal court records.

The parents of George Zimmerman want comedienne Roseanne Barr to pay them $750,000 because she posted their address on Twitter, according to federal court records.

The overwhelming majority of their claim - $600,000 - is for emotional harm, according to pleadings filed by Barr's attorneys.

A total of $37,400 is for money Robert and Gladys Zimmerman have already spent, for such as hotel rooms and meals they ate in restaurants because they say they were forced to leave their home and go into hiding after she posted their address on Twitter March 29, 2012.

Barr acknowledges putting the address of their Lake Mary home on the social media site but says she took it down moments later.

Her attorneys contend Zimmerman's parents should collect nothing.

George Zimmerman is the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer acquitted last year of murdering Trayvon Martin, a black 17-year-old.

The Zimmermans filed suit against Barr in March.
