Zimmerman's lawyers quit saying they lost contact with him. They hadn't heard from him since Sunday. I know yesterday he started a website for donations for a legal fund.
Is he on the run?
Well, it certainly appears he's gone into hiding.
Regardless of what the Special Prosecutor will announce regarding whether or not Zimmerman will be arrested and charged with a crime (I've heard a decision will be made within 72 hours, as of this writing), the New Black Panther Party has offered a bounty for Zimmerman's "capture." (And why doesn't anyone seem to be publicly questioning the legality of this?

) And I'm sure there are plenty of other nut-jobs who would love to take a shot at him if they saw him walking along a street.
If I were Zimmerman, I, too, would lay low for now. But, his being dropped by his lawyers after they didn't hear from him for all of a day-and-a-half (more or less) does seem a bit hasty, IMO.
