Elaine and David McClain say they have a son named William George Zimmerman who once lived in their Sanford-area house. They were forced from their home after Spike Lee retweeted their address as that of a man who shot an unarmed teenager. (March 29)
Its been really, really hard, really hard, McClain revealed. I have a heart condition and high blood pressure and this has just skyrocketed it. We have a lovely, small home and not to be able to go to your home and not to be able to anything, clothes. We just got out as fast as we could.
