"MARK O'MARA, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Well, let's look at the circumstances as he was viewing them. He saw somebody who happened to be in the area where another person had just burglarized a home. Yes, and it was a young black male. Was that a focusing, a profiling? It was a suspicion. Let's not also forget that Trayvon Martin was under the influence of some marijuana. It didn't come into trial but we're not bound by those facts now. We can't ignore the fact he had prior history of burglaries because he was found with the fruits of a burglary back several months before. So, you know, if we're going to look at the suspicions and the way he was acting, he was seemingly wandering around, having spent 45 or 50 minutes traveling less than a mile. So, if you are going to look at what George Zimmerman saw that night, it's all got to be taken in context."
The truth will out.

Thanks, Maggief.
A cooper has a jurist on. MOM is going to respond
So glad the defense is releasing this info now at least before Holder can silence them with some trumped up charges. Good move by the defense.
