......It's unclear how Zimmerman will afford private representation. In indigence paperwork last week, Zimmerman claimed to have $144, and owe $2.5 million in debt. Weintraub didn't immediately return a call for comment.

Weintraub has appeared on the cable networks HLN and CNN as a legal commentator, including commentary on Zimmerman's high-profile murder case in the Feb. 26, 2012, killing of Trayvon in Sanford.

This is a developing story. Check back later for updates.
