Have they announced when he will be on Hannity?
This guy is an idiot, and going to hand the lynch mob a win. He should stay with his attorneys, and keep his mouth shut.
Zimmerman’s probably just afraid & confused.
Maybe this is a ploy to get him to call his attornies.
Why should an American citizen who has done nothing wrong and has not been charged with a crime stay in touch with attorneys?
This is odd. they haven’t heard from him in 48 hours and they quit the case? Something else is up with this. Not sure what, but that just doesn’t make sense.
Maybe they are getting death threats and are looking for an excuse to drop the case.
Zimmerman is going rogue.
I imagine his attorneys were advising him to lay low because the investigating authorities asked him to.
If I were his attorney, I would have Zimmerman give a statement by phone or on camera from a secret location in which he says that Trayvon Martin was trying to kill him.
If I were in George Zimmerman’s shoes, I would be pleading my innocence from the rooftops. That’s just me.
Didn’t the attorneys say that Zimmerman had spoken to the prosecutors without them? I could have sworn they said that because I thought how dang stupid can you get.
BUT, *if* he did speak to prosecuters and found out he will not be charged, wouldn’t he then be free to leave the country?
If so, I would want the account and website only connected to me and not anyone else who could be hurt by it or give up information.
Maybe they allowed him a head-start out of the country before they announce no charges? Far fetched?
My guess is the media appearance is the reason. Lawyers hate that kind of thing, for good reason.
“Please speak with my attorney!
This only a guess on my part - I have no proof whatsoever.
I have a feeling the Latino faction my have finally had enough of this bashing and decided to take up his cause. If he shows up with new lawyers, and their backgrounds include Latino civil rights issues, then we’ll know the plan.
If so, the first order of business would be to get rid of the existing lawyers, and then begin fighting the case in the public media. And that is what appears to be happening.
The reference to Hannity has been removed from the story.
Uhrig was the one who refered to Zimmerman and Shaken Baby Syndrome.
That did not go over well.
So... Bye. I’m thinking Z wlll
1. either not need a defense team at all (No charges) or
2. have such a strong defense fund that he will go with a superstar defense team.
He repeats himself incessantly, he turns every topic into something that is about him, and he constantly uses the same tired cliches.
Why in the hell would Zimmerman go on his show? It is just giving ammo to the NBPs who already think Hannity/FoxNews is the enemy.
And is it possible that someone has already gotten to George, and that is why he isn't picking up his phone?
Zimmerman is definitely afraid (I feel for him on this point).
The only way to “SAVE” himself is to UP his visibility in some way. Lots of stuff going around in the background of this case, and many power people in play. It wouldn’t surprise me at this point if Zimmerman doesn’t know who to trust - which may be a real concern. I’ll be praying that with God’s help the path to Freedom will become clear to him - and give him strength and courage to face this head-on despite whatever the reprecussions may be.
For Zimmerman’s family - DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT! Hang-ups, strange phone calls, strange mail, or anything out of the ordinary. Time date and descriptions. A pattern might become apparent and that pattern may be of assistance to police who are trying to maintain control of the situation.
My guess is the “money behind” the MSM has gotten to the attorneys. The MSM is very very afraid of what exposure of their lies will cost them in legal settlements.
And this is obviously being fanned by the Traitor who inhabits 1600 Penn. Ave.
Scheduling media appearances is terrible. I’d have quit on him, too. He hurts his legal case.

it’s possible that Zimmerman is raking in the money already with his online request for legal support, and is moving on to more expensive and qualified attorneys.
The two attorneys who have been representing George Zimmerman announced at a press conference minutes ago that they are withdrawing as his legal counsel.
“On Sunday, we lost track of George, in that he would not return our calls,” attorney Hal Uhrig said. Said attorney Craig Sonner, “I've lost contact with him at this point.”
Sonner and Uhrig, who have been publicly representing Zimmerman in the media, said that Zimmerman has not been answering their phone calls.
The lawyers said Zimmerman called Sean Hannity of Fox News without consulting with them. He also called the office of the special prosecutor in the case, something the attorneys said they'd never have told him to do.
“We were a bit astonished,” Uhrig said. He praised Special Prosecutor Angela Corey's office for declining to speak with Zimmerman without legal counsel.
He added that he thinks Zimmerman is going through post-traumatic stress. “He's largely alone... he's at least emotionally alone.”
Sonner said that he'd be willing to represent Zimmerman again in the future, if Zimmerman were to get back in contact with him.
Both lawyers were adamant that they still believe Zimmerman is innocent, and defended his actions on the night of the shooting at length when questioned by reporters.
However, they said they can't represent him without being in communication with him.
According to Uhrig, Zimmerman had characterized the lawyers working for him as “legal advisors,” not his attorneys.
“I'm not sure what the distinction is, but in his mind there's a distinction,” Uhrig said.
Zimmerman has been in hiding since the shooting. Sonner said on Tuesday that Zimmerman is still in the United States. Both lawyers were repeatedly prodded on his location.
Said Uhrig: “I will not tell you where George Zimmerman is, because I don't know.”

During that press conference, they revealed that Zimmerman had had a conversation with Hannity.
“We learned that he had contacted Sean Hannity of Fox News directly, not through us, and we believe, I can't confirm this, we believe that he spoke directly with Sean, off the record, and he's not even willing to tell us what our client told him,” attorney Hal Uhrig said.
In an even stranger twist, the site Loop21 published on Tuesday what it said was an email correspondence with Zimmerman. In response to an email asking him to prove he was actually George Zimmerman, the man replied, “Certainly, You can contact Sean Hannity I spoke with him today and he confirmed my identity.”
