11.48am: Martin family lawyers are going after Zimmerman for his public apology. He waited until the media was watching, they say. Why didn’t he apologize earlier?
The lawyers say the witness stand, where Zimmerman gave his apology, is not a place for grandstanding apologies – it’s a place for evidence.
“This family, they were so so torn, so hurt, that they couldn’t even bring themselves to come here and stand, after they learned what they learned here in court,” a family lawyer says. “It has been a tough day.”
Reporter asked: any concerns about the evidence?
Crump says the prosecutor “appropriately held back” on evidence. They’re saving it for trial, he says.
Crump said the real George Zimmerman had “every opportunity to put whatever he thought was important in his heart on that web site.” He didn’t.
11.41am: Benjamin Crump, the lawyer for the Martin family, is appearing outside court. He says the family is “devastated.” He calls Zimmerman’s apology “self-serving.”
“They are devastated, completely devastated, that after nine days from the killer of their son being arrested, they learned today that he will be released. They have to accept the court’s decision. They pray that his freedom is only temporary, because the pain that he has caused this family is going to be permanent.
“Zimmerman makes this self-serving apology in court, 50 days later. The realGeorgeZimmerman web site never once said “I’m sorry.’ Why today?”
“All throughout the hearing, Tracy Martin had tears in his eyes as he watched the killer of his son. It was devastating that he got to give a self-serving apology to help him get a bond. They were outraged.”

“How bad could it have been if they didn’t take him to the hospital, didn’t stitch him up,” attorney Benjamin Crump said.
“The special prosecutor has seen all the evidence and still believes George Zimmerman murdered Trayvon Martin,” he added.

Attorney Benjamin Crump said that father Tracy Martin was particularly upset that the defendant, George Zimmerman, was allowed to take the stand and make the statement.
“All throughout the hearing, Tracy Martin had tears in his eyes as he watched the killer of his son,” Crump said. “And it was devastating that he got to give a self-serving apology to help him get a bond. They were outraged about that.”
Crump said that the family had declined to meet with Zimmerman before the hearing.
“It was very painful,” he said.
“Crump said that the family had declined to meet with Zimmerman before the hearing.”
Which is it Crump?! Either he was grandstanding or he offered to meet with the family, you lying piece of race bating crap.
Crump is more race-bating scum. This “feigned outrage” from parents who copyrighted their son’s name.
Crump says the prosecutor “appropriately held back” on evidence. They’re saving it for trial, he says.
WHOA! That's a big no-no, isn't it?
