In season 11 episode 6 of the Dr. Phil Show, titled "Friends of George Zimmerman Speak Out," the controversial case of George Zimmerman is once again brought to the forefront. George Zimmerman is known for shooting and killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012. Zimmerman was found not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges, sparking outrage and protests across the United States.

In this episode, friends of George Zimmerman speak out about his character and the events leading up to the shooting. Dr. Phil sits down with several of Zimmerman's close friends, including his former neighbor Frank Taaffe. Taaffe has been an outspoken supporter of Zimmerman, even claiming that Zimmerman saved his life during a break-in.

Dr. Phil asks Taaffe and the other friends to share their perspective on the events of that night and to defend Zimmerman's actions. The guests discuss how Zimmerman was a member of the neighborhood watch and was trying to protect his community.

They claim that Zimmerman was acting in self-defense and that Martin attacked him first. They believe that Zimmerman's life was in danger and that he had to use deadly force to protect himself.

Dr. Phil challenges their beliefs and presents them with evidence that suggests Zimmerman may have been racially profiling Martin. He brings up Zimmerman's previous 911 calls where he made comments about the race of suspicious individuals in his community.

The guests argue that the media portrayed Zimmerman unfairly and that he is not a racist. They defend Zimmerman's right to protect himself and his community.

Dr. Phil also speaks with Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, the parents of Trayvon Martin, to hear their side of the story. They discuss the pain they felt when they found out their son had been killed and their struggle for justice.

They express their disappointment with the verdict and argue that Zimmerman should have been found guilty. They also question the necessity of the Stand Your Ground law in Florida which allows people to use deadly force if they feel their life is in danger.

Dr. Phil concludes the show by summarizing both sides of the argument and emphasizing the importance of unbiased justice. He encourages his audience to look at all the evidence and come to their own conclusions about the case.

Overall, this episode of the Dr. Phil Show sheds light on the ongoing debate surrounding George Zimmerman and the tragic death of Trayvon Martin. It provides a platform for both sides of the argument to express their views and encourages viewers to approach the topic with an open mind.
