Justice may be blind, but, fear not — George Zimmerman is going to show it the way.
Zimmerman — who has been a confounding lightning rod of controversy since being acquitted last year in the death of Trayvon Martin — told CNN on Monday he wants to pursue a legal career.
“I think that’s the best way to stop the miscarriage of justice that happened to me from happening to somebody else,” Zimmerman told CNN. “I don’t think it should ever happen to anyone ever again, not one person.”

Zimmerman danced around questions on whether or not he regretted killing Martin, citing an active federal investigation.
But he did offer what may be the understatement of the century when repeatedly asked if he had regrets on that fateful night where Martin was gunned down.
“My life would be tremendously easier if I had stayed home,” he said flatly.
Zimmerman encountered young Trayvon walking through the teen’s townhouse complex in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012.
Martin, dressed in a hooded sweatshirt, was returning from a 7-Eleven where he purchased a package of Skittles and an Arizona fruit drink. After a struggle, Martin wound up with a bullet in his chest.
Zimmerman was acquitted of charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter in a trial in July.

Since the not-guilty verdict, which prompted protests across the nation, the former neighborhood watchman hasn’t stayed out of the spotlight.
In September, Zimmerman was pulled over for speeding in Mary Lake, Fla. He was doing 60 mph in a 45 mph zone. It was the second time that he was arrested for his lead foot — he was busted 15 days after the not guilty verdict for speeding in Texas.
“When that made international news, it was shocking to me,” Zimmerman told CNN.
In November, he was charged with allegedly pointing a gun at his girlfriend Samantha Scheibe in Florida.
Flashing his trademark knack for dodging legal woes, the charges were dropped against Zimmerman after prosecutors said that Scheibe wasn’t cooperating with investigators.
His latest brush with controversy came over a scheduled celebrity boxing match with rapper DMX — a perplexing decision considering his defense hinged on his inability to defend himself against Trayvon’s fists.
“I never expected it to turn out the way it did,” he told CNN. “It was going to be an unknown person, a small event.”
Zimmerman told a Spanish-language station that he’s drowning in more than $2 million in debt and suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.
The Sunshine State hasn’t seen the last of its most notorious resident — Zimmerman doesn’t plan to move despite receiving death threats.
“I’ll leave my home when I want to leave my home,” he told CNN defiantly. “I’ll move when I want to.”
