(CBS) George Zimmerman will appear on the Fox News channel's Sean Hannity program at 9pm eastern time Wednesday.
The first major interview with Zimmerman, who is charged with second degree murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, will take up Hannity's entire hour-long program, according to a statement from Fox News.
According to the statement, "Zimmerman will open up about what happened the night of Trayvon Martin's death and his experience in the aftermath of the fatal shooting."
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty and maintains that he shot Martin in self-defense.
Long-time trial consultant and psychologist Amy Singer, PhD, who consulted for the defense in the Casey Anthony case, said Wednesday that Zimmerman's decision to be interviewed on national television while under indictment for murder is both rare and, in her opinion, ill-advised.
"You don't want to say anything that will come back and bite you," said Singer, president of Trial Consultants, Inc. "I guess what they're trying to do is damage control, but I'm not sure this is the best way to address rumors."
Indeed, according to the Fox statement, Zimmerman and his defense attorney Mark O'Mara will address "rumors circulating about the bail donations and hidden money."

I am so tired of this story so I don’t care.
In Chicago, 42 people shot and 10 killed on a Friday night that gets no news and this just keeps going.
I wonder how many hoodies and Trayvons were killed in Chicago.
Dear George,
DON’T DO IT! You will not win any converts (Most Hannity viewers already believe your side of the story) to your plight, and it might end up biting you on yer arse later.
Agree with the previous FRiend on this thread:
Rule #1,2, and 3....STFU!!!
Will Fox require Zimmerman to dress like he has been pictured in the leftist press? Otherwise the general public wouldn’t recognize him.
Apparently he gets extraordinary bad legal advice. He should fire his lawyer and get a new one.
This is naive and stupid.
Dumb and dumber.
I don't think he listens to his lawyers. Remember, his first lawyers dropped him.
Z is on his second round of lawyers already.
He didn’t listen to his first team and so they quit.
Mark O’Mara is supposed to be a hot-shot attorney with solid bona-fides.
I don’t think so.
1. I’m guessing Z needs the money.
2. I’m gussing his lawyer intends to try to STFU Big Media’s ultra-racism, for anyone watching to realize he’s NOT a “white hispanic”.
But leftist freaks never watch Faux News anyway.
And Faux News will likely try to humiliate him.
Makes him seem desperate.
Ad it serves to help Faux bury Sheriff Joe’s news.
Joe was at the BOTTOM of Faux News dot com’s news list a couple hours ago.
Stupid. Just stupid. This guy is his own worst enemy.
I agree, but on the other hand if you’re telling the truth, what’s the problem? It’s the liars such as O.J. that STFU and don’t even take the stand. Yes ‘he won’ the trial but reality set in for many, eventually.
I think Zimm should go on MSNBC. At least there we KNOW he will be ripped apart.
Then he will garner a great deal of sympathy.
On second thought.... Forget it. No matter what Zimm does. He should stay off the radar.
:: 1. I’m guessing Z needs the money. ::
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
I’m guessing that MO’M approves because GZ hasn’t responded to his invoices.
If Zimm sues NBC over their biased editing stunt, that should help.
Wow. Just wow.
You must be EXTRA tired of all the hooplah over the president of the United States who cannot produce an authentic birth certificate.
And really REALLY tired about all the noise about a murdered border patrol agent due to the same said Pres. doing illegal gun-running.
Because they didn’t happen in Chicago?
and the media ....WELL....We pretty much know that Tray's "DADDY" runs that show.
I like O'Mara...and he appears to be a skinny Perry Mason.
The damn judge should be put on the racks.
I will be watching the Military Channel until Greta comes on.
Wonder what tone Hannity will adopt. Right after the incident, he jumped on board with the “yes, the guy is guilty” brigade. Then when the real story started coming out, he shut up, did a 180, and probably hoped no one would remember his initial opinion.
