Wow, Daryl Parks (the lawyer speaking now) is President of the National Bar Association. Very impressive.

What wonderful parents. Their strength and grace is amazing.

Well I guess it doesn't matter if he is a flight risk or not if he is not going to be arrested due to his squeaky clean record.

Mr. Parks, please take a close look at what is happening with lawyers in Florida. Seriously!

Man speaking now (missed his name) thanking AS for coming in and helping out like he has. He is confident that the state of Florida will do the right thing. Talking about other cases similar to Trayvon and racial profiling that happens. They do not in any shape, form or fashion condone violence.

I want to see Zimmerman arrested. I would love to see him prosecuted. And I personally see evidence that suggests that this could even have been a premeditated murder.

BUT...

A. Considering that we have every reason to believe that the police did at best an unprofessional investigation, and...

B. Knowing that the talking heads on the right have decided to make Zimmerman their poster boy for this political season...

I see no way in hell that they will find twelve people even willing to convict on manslaughter.

BBM. This is what I fear. You read public comments on msn websites and GZ has a tremendous amount of support based on various agendas. None of which has anything to do with Trayvon's death.

Yes, it is! And their pain is palpable. It brings tears to my eyes.

Yeah that was a pretty interesting statement! Josh Powell had a squeaky clean record too! :maddening:

There will be some violence, if he's not arrested or not found guilty. Its nothing the parents can do about that. It will always be the few people that take actions into their own hands that will make the paper.

Look at Kentucky during March Madness. Now i bet you there were only a small handfull of kids, turning over cars and setting fires.

Only difference is how the media will handle these outbreaks.

I believe that was in reference to the night of the shooting and before the State took over the case.

Hopefully all the advocating for peace... will have people lay off on Trayvon's parents? This has been their message since day #1 and I don't understand how anyone can say they or the people who support them would be responsible for any kind of violence!

The two lawyers who decided to yap their jaws yesterday are the ones trying to incite violence!

MOO

 

[Adrienne37]

Wow, I'm loving this guy. I didn't catch his name because I was boo-hooing so hard but he is great!

 

[cityslick]

How do we know it didn't happen a long time ago? He could be anywhere on the phone,

I know, that's my point. I don't think he's all of a sudden going to decide now to bail out somewhere.

Yeah, talk about the two most polar opposite press conferences I've ever read about. I'm sure the distinction is even more powerful for those who can actually watch them.

 

[LolaMoon08]

I like this guy!! He is calling out those lawyers for yesterday!

MOO

I agree. However, that fact was irrelevant at the time anyway. Every criminal starts out with a "squeaky clean record".

 

[TorisMom003]

This man, again didn't catch his name, is speaking to Zimmerman's two "lawyers" that yesterday said that Zimmerman was suffering from PTSD and that it is the friends and family of Trayvon that is suffering from PTSD because there has been no arrest in this case. He then spoke to Zimmerman since his "lawyers" have said that he is watching........telling him to confess his sins.

George Zimmerman to be charged in Trayvon Martin shooting, law enforcement official says

And as we've seen in the Casey Anthony case, sometimes a squeaky clean record just means the person hasn't been convicted of a crime yet, not that they've never committed a crime. She was stealing from people for years but wasn't caught until Caylee's murder.
