George Zimmerman’s attorneys withdrew from the controversial case Tuesday, saying they have lost contact with their client, who began making moves without consulting them.

The lawyers said Zimmernan called special prosecutor Angela Corey on Tuesday, a highly unusual move for the target of an investigation who is being represented by a lawyer.

He made the call despite not having returned calls from his attorneys, Craig Sonner and Hal Uhrig, since Sunday, Sonner said.

“He won’t even give me a collect call,” Sonner said.

He added that Zimmerman, who has left the state but not the country, also called Fox News talk show host Sean Hannity without talkibg to the lawyers.

Zimmerman also set up a website linked to a Paypal account that was different than the one the attorneys arranged through Zimmerman’s father, the lawyers said.

“That money is for George, it’s not for me and I don’t want my hands on it,” Sonner said, referring to any funds collected by Zimmerman’s own website.

Zimmerman is distraught and “ may not be in control of what is going on,” Uhrig said.
