A judge this morning threw out part of George Zimmerman's libel suit against NBC Universal and held out the prospect that she may throw out the whole thing.
Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson tossed the allegations related to one of four broadcasts and said she needs to do more homework before deciding about the other three.
Zimmerman is suing the media company, alleging he was falsely portrayed as a racist.
Zimmerman is the Neighborhood Watch volunteer acquitted last year of murdering Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, a shooting that prompted civil rights rallies.
In December 2012, Zimmerman sued NBC, accusing it of "yellow journalism" for the way it edited his call to police the night of the shooting. Editors cut out key phrases, according to the suit, making it sound as if Zimmerman volunteered that Trayvon was black and that he racially profiled the Miami Gardens high school junior.
