George Zimmerman wants meeting with Martin family

[CatWoman]

SANFORD -- George Zimmerman wants to meet with Trayvon Martin's parents.

During a one-on-one interview Wednesday, attorney Mark O'Mara revealed Zimmerman wants to meet with the family of the 17-year-old he shot and killed in February.

O'Mara did not explain why his client wants the meeting, but said is that if it were to happen, it would be private -- just Zimmerman and Trayvon's parents, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton.

"I've talked a couple of times about the conversation that, hopefully, will occur directly to the Martin family, a private conversation," said O'Mara. "To the community, I think he would just say don't prejudge him."

1. Why would they possibly want to meet with the man who murdered their son?

The man who has, since then, lied about what happened?

The only reason I can think of is so they can spit in his face. But I think they are too good to do that.

2. What a little weasel. n/t

[cindyperry2010]

3. So i guess he thinks that

this will make it all go away if he says sorry? asshole

[warrior1]

4. A good lawyer

would never allow this. Anything he says could be used at trial.

[bemildred]

5. Still all about him isn't it? nt

[tabatha]

6. He tried lying. He knows that will not hold up.

I think Mark O'Mara should not allow the meeting.

I think the parents should say wait until after the trial.

7. I Wonder What The Pro Zimmerman Contingent At DU Will Say About That

.

[hlthe2b]

8. The prosecutor and the Martin's personal lawyer need to put a STOP to this... maybe AFTER the trial

This smells of rank manipulation.

[jpak]

9. Let's hope they Stand Their Ground

[Life Long Dem]

10. "don't prejudge him."?

Isn't that what Zimmerman did to Trayvon? And this jackass wants to tell the parents this?

[HappyMe]

11. Exactly.

He's looking to manipulate. The prosecutor shouldn't even allow this.

[jwirr]

24. I saw that to. The nerve of him to say this. As to his meeting the parents - they should not be put

through this pain.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. I Have Started A Lot Of Anti-Zimmerman Threads

But he is more stupid than evil. Too bad he had a gun. Because his stupidity cost a young man his life and him his freedom.

[aquart]

23. Uh, adding a gun to stupidity is pretty much the definition of evil.

Or do you believe evil can only be accomplished with intelligence?

26. If He Didn't Have A Gun

His inane Paul Kersey fantasies wouldn't have resulted in a unarmed kid's death who by all accounts was minding his own business.

[kestrel91316]

13. Why?? So he can feel threatened and stand his ground with THEM, too??

Besides, that could be construed as witness intimidation.

[JustAnotherGen]

14. Glad you wrote it

So I didn't have to. . . I take the 'would like to/request' as intimidation in and of itself.

18. Zimmerman Wanting To Apologize. Zimmerman Wanting To Meet The Family

These all illustrate "consciousness of guilt".

[emulatorloo]

19. Or a defense lawyer ploy to garner sympathy n/t

[tabatha]

28. +1000

He mentioned something like that in his first interview with LOD.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. He Is A Clown

Too bad he had a gun. Without a gun he could harbor his Dirty Harry and Paul Kersey fantasies in his suburban enclave and nobody would have been hurt.

[WI_DEM]

15. Why? so he can explain WHY he shot and killed their unarmed son?

[JNelson6563]

17. If I were the mom I'd gladly meet him

so I could dispense some justice, motherfucker.

Julie--that is to say, if I hadn't successfully hunted him down yet

[leveymg]

20. Maybe, for a few moments, after he's been convicted.

If he wants to apologize, that would be proper time.

[libodem]

21. FU George

You'll never explain why Trayvon "needed" killing. Forget about it.

[Whisp]

22. bad idea for the Martins

they can talk to him After the trial if Z stills is interested. but I bet he won't be interested then.

he's just weasly milking sympathy like his weasel family.

[sadbear]

25. To be fair, I've never even heard Zimmerman's voice

I think those around him, those who are publicly defending him know he's a dipshit, know he's not too bright, and THEY'VE been lying their asses off to protect him. Saying what they think they have to say. Who knows what GZ is thinking now. But I sincerely believe that GZ is a true dumbass who shot a kid to avoid getting his assed whipped, and now feels deep remorse about it. He's just an immature man-child who was entrusted with a handgun by the state of Florida. Just my two cents.

27. Pretty Much How I See It -See Post Twenty Six

I don't think he was any more or less racist than your average American but he did harbor a suspicion of young African American males. Fine, lots of folks are suspicious of those who look or act differently. But you don't follow them around in the dark. At that point they have every right to be as suspicious of your motives as you were of theirs. And in this instance his suspicion was totally unwarranted.

If it wasn't for guns in the hands of morons Trayvon would be taking his SAT right about now and Zimmerman would be looking for the next "crime" to solve.
