A Florida couple sued Spike Lee twice, once in 2012 and again in November for retweeting what he thought was Zimmerman's address, which turned out to belong to the eventual plaintiffs.

Per that lawsuit, the tweet originated with a California man who contacted a number of celebrities to get the word out, which Lee did, prompting all sorts of responses and causing Elaine and David McClain to fear for their lives. 

The first time around, the filmmaker settled with and personally apologized to the McClains. But they sued again, claiming they continued to be the target of threats throughout Zimmerman's trial last summer.
