Zimmerman last hearing apology


George Zimmerman’s lawyer offered up an apology for his client’s apology at his bond hearing on Friday. If he’d known it would upset Trayvon Martin’s family, he would not have allowed his client to offer up the mea culpa for the shooting death of their teenage child. “I wanted to say I am sorry for the loss of your son,” Zimmerman said Friday. The Martins’ attorney, Benjamin Crump, accused Zimmerman at a press conference after the hearing of trying to pander to the court with the apology, which he described as “insincere. “The apology was somewhat of a surprise because we had told them this was not the appropriate time, but they just disregarded that,” he said. If Martins’ attorney would react in that manner with a press conference, he wouldn’t have allowed Zimmerman to do it. “I'm not sure that we would have done it at the bond hearing,” he said. “So, I apologize for that.” Zimmerman was released from a Florida jail late Sunday night on $150,000 bail as he awaits his second-degree murder trial in the fatal shooting of unarmed teen Trayvon Martin. I believe he got off easy because if i see myself in his shoes i think i wouldve been put away for a long time. Thats even if i have a better record than he does this is why many people see this case more than just a death significally about racism.
