(CNN) -- The defense team for George Zimmerman says it needs at least $70,000 more to give their client "a fighting chance" in his upcoming trial, according to a post on the website gzdefensefund.com.

Zimmerman, the Florida neighborhood watch volunteer accused of killing Trayvon Martin in February 2012, is scheduled to stand trial June 10.

It is not the first time the website has sounded a dire warning. In mid-April, it said the Zimmerman defense fund "is now running at a deficit, and it is unclear how the defense will be funded moving forward."

On Wednesday, the defense wrote that it had less than $5,000 in the trust account and liabilities of more than $20,000. On January 3, the fund had $314,000, according to an earlier post.


"We've calculated that we need another $120,000 to give George the defense he deserves. At the barest minimum, we need $75,000 to give George a fighting chance," the post says.

Ha. Not if they go by the evidence. But in the court of public opinion, he's already convicted. They'll follow through with this kangaroo court, convict him, and spare the state and the nation of the inevitable ( and damn near promised ) riots if he's found not guilty.
