Just saw the Zimmerman interview, with everything that's come out, I think Zimmerman came off pretty good, he was calm and answered each question directly. I think he was correct in what he did, but I know as sure as i'm setting here, if he's found not guilty all of the Al Sharpman's out there will say "he needs to pay" I really get tired of these people who sture up all this BS.

I think Z's lawyer let him talk on tv in order to balance the jury pool poisoning that the Martins' had already begun. Don't know if Z was paid for this interview or not. Nobody said, one way or the other.
Z covered the altercation with M in detail. He made it clear that M had confronted him, used profanity, and struck him first in the nose and then tackled him, and then struck him about a dozen or more times during which Z was shouting for help, and M was smothering Z's mouth so he could not yell to the police, which were in the area somewhere. Finally M went for Z's gun. Then they wrangled for it, with Z getting control at that point and shooting M once. There is a witness who saw M on top when they were both on the ground.
We know there are also conflicting witnesses who tell different stories, as usual.
If there is a trail, since the prosecution goes first, they will likely call all the other conflicting witnesses, and paint a totally different picture.
Then the defense will cross examine the prosecution witnesses, and present their own witness, who will certainly include Z, and then we will see and hear what Fox News broadcast today.
Question is, whom will the jury believe?
At the end of the Fox interview, Z says that he does not regret anything and would not do anything any different. I am sure sure if that is what he really thinks or if that is what his lawyer told him to say. That part did not go over well with most viewers, I am sure.
This whole episode would have calmly ended with the police questioning and releasing M had Z only stayed within the safe confines of his own car. I am surprised that Z would not do that part over if he could. So that part makes little sense, and you can't tell if Z is telling the truth or not.
It seems like Z and his attorney are heading for a trial, and getting ready for it, with media events like this, to un-poison the jury pool in Florida.
If there is a trial, it will be the latest trial of the century. It will pre-empt all other broadcasting. It will dominate the evening tv commentaries. Same as the others did.
These lawyers on both sides are very skillful, at setting the stage, and manipulating public opinion.
Question is who will be better at manipulating the jury?

Sean Hannity made it a point (during the televised interview) to ask Zimmerman whether or not he was paid to do the Hannity interview.
Zimmerman clearly replied, "No, he was not".

They always say that. No matter what.
Give Mr. Zimmernan enough television time and he will convict himself. That he feels bad for taking a life, I can understand that. Apologies to the Martin family, the time is past for those apologies. The man was in fear for his life and did what he thought was necessary to end the threat. Now the two sides will come to a decision in court. Don't help them make their case Mr. Zimmerman.
Haven't watched it yet (it's on the DVR at home, and won't have a CHANCE to watch it until sometime next week,) did Zimmerman use the words "No, he was not"? As in, referred to himself in the third person? (Or were you paraphrasing instead of quoting?) (Sorry, grammar pedantry - but it makes a difference, if he said literally "he was not" when asked a question about himself, it sounds *REALLY* strange. But if you were paraphrasing instead of quoting, and he said "No, I was not" then it's a normal statement.)

Zimmerman will be on again tonight, I agree, Z man should have said he regreated the shooting. The other legal tream have supioned the broad cast as they will tonights broad cast also.

I don't see what the big fuss is about. Zimmerman will NEVER get a fair trial where he is. As soon as the left wing liars in the media ran with this story, his fate was sealed without a change of venue.
The judicial system is as corrupt as the political system in this country.

Why should he regret anything hid did? The prosecutor and media have already placed all the blame on him and told how he could have avoided it not once mentioning how TM could have also avoided things. For Z to say that he regrets some of his actions would admit that he did something wrong rather than TM doing something he should not have. He could phrase his regrets as saying that maybe he wishes that TM had not made him do the shooting but to say that he regrets shooting TM admits that he had other options and did not take them. Did Zimmerman do anything wrong that night? If he admits he did something wrong then he will be found guilty. Remember that all the blame is being placed on GZ for everything. If TM had just kept on walking to his house then he would still be living but he chose to confront GZ.
