17 yo Trayvon Martin Shot to Death by Neighborhood Watch Captain #21

[Karmady]

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

To clarify, and not to diminish his accomplishment any way, because it is very impressive and I thought he was very eloquent -- but the NBA is a national bar association focused on African-Americans and civil rights issues. The national bar association that is not race/ethnicity/issue-specific is the American Bar Association, or ABA.

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

MOO

I agree, made me choke up when they were talking about their own PTSD.
A well spoke man whoever he was.

For those that couldn't watch today, please look for a link later and watch this. That last guy was the one of the most powerful speakers that I have ever heard. He laid it all out and told it like it was.

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

Yeah...always a first time for everything.

guessing if he had made a habit of shooting people he wouldn't have been there to begin with, he'd have been in prison.

ITA. As if people with squeaky clean records don't commit crimes.

I just want to grab a hold of Trayvon's parents and hug them... cry with them... pray with them.

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

http://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...fficial-says/2012/04/11/gIQAHJ5oAT_story.html

I so hope this is right!!!!!!!!! I caught on of the speakers saying something about "today"....which made me wonder if they didn't already know.

Al Shapton: The Only violence that has happened was the night GZ shot Trayvon and we want to keep it that way.

 

[TorisMom003]

Question time from only the media, can't hear the questions though.

Mr Martin said he is not concerned that Zimmerman's whereabouts are not known now, with the government he will be found.

Mr Martin is confident that the SP will investigate completely and do what is best.

AS talking about emails and things concerning rumors about an arrest to be made, they will be in the building and will have another press conference later. They have not checked their emails during this press conference as they are not rude.

Trayvon's mom is talking about it concerning them that Zimmerman's lawyers did not know where he was, but they are sure he will be found.

[LolaMoon08]

They seem really confident that there is an arrest coming... I think there will be an arrest soon.

MOO

CNN didn't even bother to show it. How did you guys see it? HLN only showed the part of TM's parents speaking. I missed Mr. Parks' statement.

I guess they are rebutting what the attorneys said yesterday. Glad they had a message for GZ.

 

[TorisMom003]

The family will be back around 5 or 5:15 pm after they confirm some of the things that were brought up by the media. I would guess, since I couldn't hear the questions, they mean about an arrest.

 

[mercuriod]

IMO I think if he is a flight risk, that would of happened a long time ago, before that press conference yesterday.

Who says it hasn't already happened? Even his own "former" legal counsel have never set eyes on him, he could have been calling them from Mars for all they know.

 

[Concerned Papa]

I am impressed with the strength and resolve of both of Trayvon's parents. Since this case began, I have been driven by one thought. What if this had been MY son?

I have asked myself what would I do, where would I turn, and I know that I do not posess the resolve of Tracy Martin to rise above the base instincts of emotion. Where Tracy Martin has conducted himself in the light, I know myself well enough to know that I would remain in the darkness, constantly searching until I had found the one who had taken my soul.

I hope Trayvon's parents can find peace.

 

[LolaMoon08]

Anyone who can sit there and listen to Trayvon's parents... look at Trayvon's parents and not feel from the very depths of their soul their pain?? I'm just heartbroken! Like crying!
