SANFORD, FL (WKMG/CNN) – George Zimmerman was a no-show at his Wednesday court hearing on stalking charges.
Zimmerman is accused of sending threats to a private investigator working on Jay-Z’s documentary about Trayvon Martin.
The investigator said he received dozens of threatening calls, text messages and emails from Zimmerman.
Earlier this month, Zimmerman filed a written plea of not guilty and waived his court appearance. The next hearing is scheduled for June 27.
Zimmerman was acquitted in 2013 of second-degree murder in the killing of Martin, a 17-year-old African-American.
The case started a national conversation about race and created the Black Lives Matter movement.
