"All these people who are threatening George, what makes them any better than the person they think he is?" Oliver said. "You've got all these people wanting to lynch the man and they don't know the whole story. There are huge gaps that are being filled in and interpreted without evidence."Obviously, he was asked to speak out by Zimmerman's lawyer. That makes it no less sincere on Oliver's part - it's just a shame the agitators have forced Zimmerman into a race-based publicity strategy.
From the city manager's report released to clarify the FACTS:
What about media reenactments of the shooting incident?
Any media reenactments of the shooting incident are purely speculation. To date the Sanford Police Department has not released any rendition of the events of the evening to anyone other than the Office of the State Attorney. The renditions we have seen are not consistent with the evidence in this case.
