This information is obviously not public record (they should have been redacted on the document), and it seems that the numbers were displayed by accident.
Mediaite has video of the courtroom reaction after people realized that Zimmerman's personal information was on display, as well as a screenshot of CNN airing the police report containing Zimmerman's address, social security number, and phone number. Mediaite redacted the information in its screenshot, but CNN aired it with all the numbers visible.
The numbers likely aired on CNN by accident because the network was broadcasting live coverage of the trial. In addition to some of the testimony being aired live on television, several news outlets have set up live streams of the trial so people can watch online.
Once people realize what information is on display, you can hear multiple people in the courtroom saying "Get that down," and the voice of the prosecutor saying "How can I clear it?"
Zimmerman is currently standing trial for the shooting death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.
CNN issued this statement:
Routinely the evidence is first given to the Court Clerk for redaction, and that didn?t happen in this instance.? The Court is circling back to attorneys on both sides to make sure they give the Clerk's office the opportunity to redact the necessary information.
