There’s a new player in the case against George Zimmerman.
Assistant state attorney Richard W. Mantei has been appointed to handle the investigation and representation of the state of Florida.
The appointment was made June 4, but is now just being released.
Trayvon Martin, 17, died last February in Sanford after a scuffle with Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer. Zimmerman has said that he shot Martin in self-defense.
Zimmerman is currently at the Seminole County Jail after his original bond was revoked.
Judge Kenneth Lester revoked Zimmerman's bond after prosecutors argued his wife misled the court about how much money the couple had available.
The next hearing in the case is scheduled for Friday, June 29 at the Seminole County Courthouse.
