Rectal Bleeding (Blood in Stool, Hematochezia) Blood in the stool can be bright red, maroon in color, black and tarry, or occult (not visible to the naked eye). Causes of blood in stool range from harmless, annoying conditions of the gastrointestinal tract such as hemorrhoids to serious conditions such as cancer.
Story highlights. Mark O'Mara, the attorney who successfully defended George Zimmerman in his second-degree murder trial this year, will no longer represent his notorious client. I am not representing George Zimmerman in his recent domestic altercation case or his impending divorce case, O'Mara told CNN.
Mr. Zimmerman is owner of the Laurel Building, the site of his law practice in downtown Sarasota. Mark and his wife Laurie Zimmerman, who is also a Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer, have two children, Charlie and Sophie, who both attend Sarasota County public schools. In his spare time, Mr. Zimmerman is a coach in Sarasota youth sports.
