Some of the biggest news to come out of the press conference by George Zimmerman’s now-former lawyers on Tuesday was that Zimmerman had apparently reached out to Fox’s Sean Hannity and had a conversation. On Tuesday night, Hannity confirmed that.
“We learned that he had contacted Sean Hannity of Fox News directly, not through us, and we believe, I can’t confirm this, we believe that he spoke directly with Sean, off the record, and he’s not even willing to tell us what our client told him,” attorney Hal Uhrig said during a press conference.
According to Hannity, that’s true.
“Yesterday I was contacted by an individual that we in fact believe was George Zimmerman,” Hannity explained on his TV show. “He reached out to me, we spoke on the phone about his case, and I agreed not to report on the contents of that conversation. That’s it. I know nothing about his relationship with his now former attorneys.”

I hope and Pray that an excellent and more than capable defense attorney avails him or herself to Zimmerman throwing those 2 half wits under the bus for their abrupt and non-dedicated withdrawal from him. We all know that they wanted to do this so that they will not get tagged as racist Attorneys since that is the way the Libers are directing this case! Race Card! Race Card! Race Card! All under the Race Card are in reality discards and should be burned along with qurans in a great big pile and a public burning!
I am glad to see that Zimmerman has been charged. I am not an attorney but it is a no brainer.
My first question was why was a neighborhood watchman carrying a gun? Did the people who
made him a watchman know that he was carring a gun? This whole thing smells to me like he
is a cop wanna be and was trying to make a name for himself. Well he did but not the kind of
name that he wanted. He was told to stay in his vehicle. He did not he got out and chased
Trayvon Martin. This made him the agressor. You can’t claim self defence if you are the agressor.
He claimed that Trayvon broke his nose and slammed his head repeatedly into the concrete.
I saw the video of when he arrived at the police station and got a very good look at him front and
back. If you get a broken nose you will have some evidence like swelling or at least redness.
There was nothing. Then I saw the back of his head as he came around the front of the police car.
I saw nothing so I blew it up to full screen still nothing. If you get your head slammed down on
concrete you will have compression splits or cuts that go clear to bone and the scalp bleeds profusely.
There was also nothing on the back of his head. I saw the edited version of the same tape where
he had two paralell red streaks not cuts just red lines about 1/2 in. wide and 3 in. long, like someone
used a paint brush, placed vertically side by side. They were not there in the original and
besides If they were scalp cuts the way that they bleed he would have blood down his neck
and back. I am caucasion but it seems some white people are trying to WHITE WASH this
crime. I say crime because he should at least be charged with 2nd. degree. murder.
First of all, this is America. We in America have something called a Constitution. In that said Constitution is the Second Ammendment and it guarantees us the right to keep and bear arms. If you don’t like that, move to Mexico, or any other place that thinks you are too untrustworthy to own a weapon. It is also none of the publics business who owns a gun.
Mr. Zimmerman was known by the Sanford P.D. he had made many calls to them in the past reporting situations. On the night that Mr. Martin was shot, he called into the dispatcher and reported suspicious behavior by a man. Mr. Zimmerman had a lawfull right to be in his own neighborhood. Mr. Zimmerman had a lawfull right to exit his vehicle. I heard the dispatcher ask Mr. Zimmerman if he was following the suspicious person, I heard the dispatcher say that you do not have to do that after he answered that he was. That is not the same as being told do not follow him. Again, he had a lawfull right to pursue a legal activity, walking. Mr. Zimmerman walked around to the front of the building to get an address to assist the Deputies in locating the suspicious person. Again, completely lawfull activity. Mr. Zimmerman gave the address to the dispatchers, and was on his way back to his vehicle. Gee, guess what? Another lawfull activity. Mr. Zimmerman was then accosted by Mr. Martin. Mr. Martin landed punches to Mr. Zimmerman’s head resulting in a broken nose and knocking him down. While Mr. Zimmerman was down, Mr. Martin got on top of Mr. Zimmerman and pouded his head against the ground causing dizziness and fear. Fear for his life from a possible life threatening beating he was recieving. Mr. Zimmerman unholstered his weapon and a struggle for the weapon ensued. Mr. Zimmerman retained possession of his weapon and fired, striking his assailant in the chest, terminating an illegal (possibly deadly) assault upon his person. Mr. Zimmerman was rendered aid at the scene by EMS but declined going to the hospital. Do you think that they could have cleaned him up? Maybe give him a cold pack to reduce swelling. For all we know, EMS could have administered a styptic pencil to staunch the bleeding and not dressed the wound. If the Sheriff’s Deputies found inconsistencies in his statements and his injuries, an immediate arrest would have ensued. It is my opinion that Mr. Martin was looking to burglarize a townhouse and got caught. House burglars are dangerous, as they will kill in an attempt to get away. I saw footage of Mr. Zimmerman walking into the Sheriff’s department and it looked like to me that he had a gash on the back of his head. I feel that the Sanford Deputies did their job in the correct manner. No crime, no arrest. This special prosecutor is on a witch hunt because of political pressure and community pressure from people that were not there and are playing Monday morning quarterback second guessing what Sanford Deputies did. Race had nothing to do with this shooting, a criminal assault (possibly life threatening) is what caused this shooting. Free George Zimmerman. Remember that Mr. Martin was suspended from school for having an empty bag that contained marijuana residue and womens jewelery. Remember the womens jewelery.
