Barbara Walters from ABC flew to Florida last night to interview Zimmerman. She walked away because he wanted her to pay for a month long stay in a hotel
From Tracy Martin " To ask us if we will forgive a guy who DOESNT EVEN REGRET taking our son's life is too much to ask right now." Attorney Ben Crump "just unbelievable" he was speechless
Most people are saying GZ came off as an a-hole because "he doesnt regret getting out of his car, carrying a gun and would not do anything differently"
Reading the analysis online, I dont see how this interview did him in favors. Natalie Jackson called the interview a "prosecutors dream"
Here are some of the questions she posed:
GZ says he was never more than 100ft from his car- so why was Tray's body found so far away from the truck?
GZ didnt mean to tell the dispatch that he was following Tray but meant that he was going in the same direction-
GZ said Tray was "skipping" wouldnt skipping imply that he was happy and carefree not a criminal?
GZ said he used the phrase "F-ing punks" when going after Trayvon. What made him profile a teen walking home as a "punk" and asshole"
GZ said that Trayvon didnt look like a "fitness fanatic"-is he finally admitting that Tray wasnt physically imposing.
Zimmerman said Martin was skipping now?? He told dispatcher that he was running though. Good god this man changes his story so many times it's pathetic. This is exactly what I'm talking about. What's worse is that his supporters argue with a new version of Zimmerman's story without realizing they are being strung along. Sad.
"According to Zimmerman" lol get outta here with that sht. I need to watch that interview.
Very Non interesting comments from Jackson. Skipping could imply he was high on drugs, which he was. You know, these types of questions, comments Jackson has made has been made before. Seriously, Zimmerman will not be convicted of murder using this as evidence. For her to say this is a "prosecutors dream" is absolutely nonsense and not true. A dream would be Zimmerman saying he murdered him cuz he was a punk and ahole, he let that weak child get on top of him to make it look like self defense. This will be my last post until trial about Zimmerman. Same old stale arguments. I would wager this forum has talked more about Zimmerman than 99.999999 percent of other political forums. It's boring now. God bless
Creepn my brother, you must watch it. you will be shaking your head and laughing. he came off as crazy and delusional.
I think Hannity did more harm than good. the entire interview was a plea for public support for the cowardice child killer and a way for Hannity to clear his name since its speculated he offered to pay for zimmerman's legal fees.
in the jail conversations zimmerman mentions a "SH" will help pay, I wonder who that is?
I don't completely buy Z's account of what transpired up to the confrontation with Trayvon; however, his account of events after that are believable and are supported by physical evidence. Seems to me, it is a clear case of self-defense when there is a gun within reach of two people in a fight -- unless there's some really compelling evidence that the prosecution has not revealed yet.
there was a gun within the reach of just one person.
martin never had a chance.
the idea that some people believe the accounts of this confirmed liar is laughable and sad.
Martin is on top of a man with a holstered weapon, and it's not within reach?
Being a liar doesn't make you a murderer, last time I checked.
thats what george says. and george is a confirmed liar.
confirmed. so is his wife.
confirmed.
Dear God, It Wasn't Your Plan To Kill Trayvon! By Michael Skolnik

I have prayed with the Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and the non-believers. I have celebrated Passover, the end of Ramadan and Easter. I have sat in churches, mosques, synagogues, temples and the homes of beautiful, religious people all around the world. I have prayed. I continue to pray. I believe in prayer. And today, I pray to you, God, that you hear this prayer and let us all know that there is no way in that it was your plan to kill Trayvon Martin.
George Zimmerman said it was your plan. The guy who pulled a 9mm gun that rainy night in Sanford, Florida, said last night on TV, that it was your plan. Said he had no regrets. No regrets about getting out of the car. No regrets about having a gun. No regrets. No regrets about shooting an unarmed teenager with one bullet in his chest that put an end to his life.
Forgiveness. We seek to forgive. But as Trayvon's father said this morning, "To ask us if we will forgive a guy who doesn't even regret taking our son's life is just too much to ask right now." Maybe one day, but just not now. Not at this moment, not at this time. Not after what Mr. Zimmerman said last night. His words last night did not help him and did not help us. George Zimmerman will be put through our justice system and we will assume he is innocent until proven guilty. However, we will not accept that this was your plan, just cause he said it. We will not accept that a young man's life was cut short because a man holding a gun didn't like the way he walked or how he looked. All of the good books teach us those lessons about judgment...by now we should have gotten the message.
I never got a chance to meet Trayvon, so you tell him o for me. Tell him that we got our hoodies up and that we will continue to seek justice for his family. Tell him that LeBron wrote his name on his shoes. Tell him the President of the United States said if he had a son, he would look like him. Tell him that strangers, complete strangers, people him nor I ever met, marched in streets all across this country because of him. Tell him his friends miss him...really, really miss him. Tell him that his mother, father and brother are some of the most incredible people in the world...I am sure he already knows that. But, please just remind him.
And God, one more thing...if you are not going to listen to my prayer, please listen to the words of Trayvon's father, Tracy, "We must worship a different God, because there's no way MY God would have wanted George Zimmerman to murder my teenage son."

Broken nose -- confirmed. Injuries to back of head -- confirmed. Injuries to Trayvon's hand -- confirmed. Bullet fired from close range -- confirmed.
It's shocking that confrontations between wannabe gangsta thugs and armed, hypervigilant neighborhood watchmen don't go well.
what gives you the impression Trayvon was a wannabe thug that night? no gang colors, no weapons, most importantly no criminal history. stop stereotyping him beause he's black.
broken nose lol
scratches lol
trayvons hands because he was the only one fighting for his life.
bullet close range, the plan all along.
prays to god in between telling lies. lol
gods plan includes him being a liar. lol
birther supporting this liar cuz hannity told him to. lol
Physical evidence doesn't lie. Use your head and stop emoting.
scratches lol
poor baby got scratched after hunting this kid down. lol
lol. Prosecutors can only hope they have a group of re s like you on the jury -- no proof required.
birther is upset. lol
Getting punch in the nose and falling down is not grounds to shoot someone. The guy that testified that Zimmerman was going MMA recanted that statement. The injuries to the back of his head did not require a single s ch.
There was also a statement that Martin was saying "okay you got me, you got me" after he shot him though the hear and his lungs were filling with blood. Maybe he could hear it through the frothy bubbling. Or more likely he heard that before he shot him.
Now he is saying that he went for Zimmerman's gun but how exactly did he know he had a gun. Zimmerman is a slimy deceptive piece of and no the physical evidence does not match up with the account. Getting your head beaten on concrete requires s ches.
It sure it does when you grandstand and exaggerate it. I have seen nothing about the gun wounds themslelves in relation to the account.
But hey how about you regale us about how a broken nose and light abrasions on the back of one's head that require no s ches corroborate the account.
If zimmerman walks, they need to free OJ. He was just trying to get his back.
he's just doing what hannity tells him to do.
Look harder
He's a poor judge of distances? He didn't have a tape measure available to measure the distance and was just estimating? It's clear to everyone he was at least as far away from his truck as the vicinity where Martin was shot -- unless, of course, he was claiming he didn't shoot him.
I don't recall hearing him say he didn't mean to tell the dispatcher that he was following Trayvon but that he was merely walking in the same direction. I do recall him saying he got out of his truck, while on the phone with police, (apparently his seat belt unbuckling and door opening can be heard on the recording), in order to see if he could maintain sight of Martin so he could tell police where he went. That could be construed as following but, not pursuing as has been suggested. He then said when the dispatcher said he didn't need to do that (when he answered yes to the question of "Are you following him?"), he continued across the complex to his street to get an address off the house on the other side.
It was pretty clear, to me anyway, Zimmerman was struggling to come up with a word, instead of "run," because, while Martin didn't walk away, he wasn't in a flat out run either. "Skip" is what his brain produced. What word would you use to describe a person moving faster than a walk but not sprinting? After thinking a few seconds, I came up with "trot" or "lope." But, it is a condition a person on the phone with police (and you may not be aware I have an extensive background in this area) might 1) struggle with describing on the phone and 2) just use one of the two most common words associated with people moving on their feet...walking or running. He chose run because Martin wasn't walking. In the interview last night, it was clear he was trying to arrive at a descriptor that indicated Martin was doing more than walking but wasn't running. Sue him.
Because he was su ious (leisurely walking in rain, going between houses, appeared intoxicated, etc...), in a neighborhood experiencing a rash of property crimes which, apparently, weren't being solved by police at the rate Zimmerman thought they should. The " ing Punks" always get away is an appropriate response by someone frustrated by the lack of criminal arrests in a neighborhood plagued by crime when he is on the phone with police and the " ing punk" takes off and he loses sight of them.
I took it to mean Martin wasn't dressed as if he were training for some athletic event. Long distance runners and bicyclers are known to train in the rain.
I'm still wondering how Martin ended up at the scene of the shooting when there is a full two minutes from the time Zimmerman said he ran until the end of Zimmerman's call with police ended. What was Martin doing for those two minutes?
