A legal advisor for George Zimmerman, the man who told police he shot and killed Trayvon Martin, says the Florida shooting had nothing to do with race.

“Something’s wrong with him. Yep. He’s coming to check me out,” Zimmerman told the dispatcher. “He’s got something in his hands. I don’t know what his deal is. Send officers over here.”

Threats to Zimmerman and the police staff involved in the investigation have been mounting since the news about the lack of an arrest broke and those close to Zimmerman say information being circulated about him is incorrect.
“The portrayal of George Zimmerman in the media, as well as the series of events that led to the tragic shooting, are false and extremely misleading,” wrote his father, Robert, a retired magistrate judge, in a letter published in the Orlando Sentinel. “Unfortunately, some individuals and organizations have used this tragedy to further their own causes and agendas.”
Zimmerman and his wife were involved in a mentorship program with two African American teens, taking them to the mall and a science center, Sonner said, adding, “I do not believe that’s the indication of a person who’s a racist.”
