    Yes I read it and i spun nothing, he's the idiot who tried to play neighborhood cop.

    How do you spin his lawyers quit? He's a tool for not contacting them, not commuicating with your lawyers is being a bit of a tool IMO. I am sure their is more to it than what they said in the interview, but we shall see.

    Or he could be the idiot who defended his life against an assailant, noone knows...except for some guys on a bowhunting site. The lawyers saying they are worried about his mental state and well being and can't represent him because of a recent loss of communication is far from them saying they're quitting because he's a tool, more than likely it's about $$(jmo). My point is this guy has been tried in the media, can't show his face in public, isn't working, trying to figure out how to fund his legal defense, recently killed a guy and by all accounts was very shook up and remorseful, and is probably under significant stress. Whether I think he's a tool or not or that he was right or wrong I know I wouldn't want to walk in his shoes for the last 6-8 weeks, so while I don't think it is very smart I can understand him possbly breaking down or acting erratically under the pressure and stress of his current circumstances.

    His attorneys did say they were withdrawing from the case because of no contact. They also said against their advice, Zimmerman contacted the prosecuters that decide whether to press charges against him or not. They also said that they had reservations about the website that Zimmerman set up to collect money when they were working the case for FREE!

    "Zimmerman set up a website therealgeorgezimmerman.com to collect money from his supporters, but the attorneys didn't know about it until they started getting questions from the news media, Sonner said. They had worked with his father and others to set up a different account and when they started getting questions about the new site, Uhrig assumed it was "bogus."


    So the attorneys worked with his father to set up a different account to collect money for their "free" legal service. That doesn't seem to add up I mean since they were working for free. Maybe they are working for free since he hasn't been charged but will charge if there is a trial? Who knows?

    Nevermind...that took like 5 seconds.

    "3. The lawyers were tired of working pro bono for an ingrate
    At their "bombshell press conference," Sonner and Uhrig revealed that "Zimmerman has never paid his attorneys," notes Tommy Christopher at Mediaite. Sonner did say, however, that he agreed to represent Zimmerman pro bono until charges were filed. Still, Zimmerman doesn't seem entirely grateful for the free help: Neither lawyer has met Zimmerman in person, and he essentially dumped them by not returning their calls and text-messages."

    Sounds like tool status.

    Zimmerman is now paying his price for getting out of his car and playing neighrhood cop, regardless of how it went down after whom ever started the fight. He is paying the price for his poor judgment of not listening to the dispatcher and being dead wrong about a kid eating skittles.

    Regardless of how it went down? The attacker doesn't matter? OK...what color skittles was he eating Germ? I heard Zimmerman hates those orange ones. You don't know if he was dead wrong or not but apparently thinking you know something is just as good.

    Charge him, prove his guilt, or move on to the next possible crime in Sanford, FL. That shouldn't take too long.

    Maybe...maybe not on the Skittles. He was in possession of Skittles, there are no reports that say whether or not the Skittles were open and the autopsy results have not been released which might include the contents of his stomach. Just sayin ;] Initially though he was walking down the street.

    There is evidence in this case I'm sure we don't know. If that evidence is strong enough to bring charges against him then the prosecutor will do just that and he will be tried in front of a jury. That same evidence is sure to contain conflicting evidence though and if there is too much conflicting evidence then the possibility of reasonable doubt certainly comes into play if a jury is involved and could even cause the prosecutor not to file charges if she feels the case is unprovable beyond a reasonable doubt. It's a fairly straight forward system like that.

    I just can't find a better response.

    He saw what he perceived as a suspicious person
    He called 911 to report it and was told not to follow him
    He did follow him and got out of his car to confront him.

    No, we KNOW that he also was beaten up pretty badly, and if that is the case, then he likely shot and killed Martin in SELF-DEFENSE!!! If that's the case, then he used his weapon in an appropriate manner, and no charges should be filed...

    News Flash: Irregardless of the situation, charges have been filed, now we'll see where it goes...

    I am only talking about the part where he followed the kid and got out of his car, I am not commenting on what happen after.

    Zimmerman suspected he was up to no good and was dead wrong, and it's why "Captains" of the neighborhood watch, should just watch.

    What? Did they not read your post where you figured it all out from the police report?

    Even I think murder 2 is too much. I think Zimmerman is an idot, but he did not want to muder that kid. He got himself in a bad situation on his own. Man Salughter is what he is guilty of IMO.
