FOX News host Sean Hannity confirmed on his show Tuesday night he had an off-the-record chat with someone he believed was George Zimmerman.
The neighborhood watchman's former legal team announced they would no longer represent him because the 28-year-old had ignored their calls and said he had reached out to Hannity and special prosecutor Angela Corey on his own.
On his show, Hannity said he wanted to "set the record straight."
"For a few weeks we have been pursuing an interview with Mr. Zimmerman to give him a chance to tell his side of the story," the host said. “Now yesterday I was contacted by an individual that we in fact believe was George Zimmerman.”
"We spoke on the phone about his case, and I agreed not to report on the contents of that conversation. That's it."

If Trayvon has no scratch on him and Zimmerman has his nose broken then one doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. But I don't want to be a judge here, let's wait and see what the real evidence shows.
Zimmerman's stupid decision to "pursue" and accost Martin started the chain of events that led to the shooting.
True. This can actually be used against Zimmerman in a civil suit for wrongful death, and he is likely to be found liable. He started it down that road. However it has no bearing on the criminal liability, unless it can be shown that Zimmerman's actions put Trayvon into temporary insanity. An example: if you are in public place I am free to walk around you and call you names, all day long. You are not free to hit me or shoot me. You are free to call police, though, and have me arrested. Trayvon was also free to do the same, and he should have done it. If he attacked Zimmerman (if, as I said) then he took the law in his own hands, and that is generally not allowed to anyone (unless an assault on Zimmerman can be sold as an attempted citizen's arrest, which Trayvon had a right for.)
Again tell me how Zimmerman's account of someone "acting suspiciously" give him grounds to leave his vehicle and pursue a person walking down a public street This is the question you Zimmerman supporters are twisting and turning so hard to avoid answering. This is because you cannot answer that question.
It had been answered many times already in this very thread. It is NOT ILLEGAL to leave one's vehicle and pursue a person walking down a public street!!!
There are laws in some states against stalking (criminal harassment.) They could apply here; however the laws require far more than just to walk behind someone on a public sidewalk. For example:
"Whoever wilfully and maliciously engages in a knowing pattern of conduct or series of acts over a period of time directed at a specific person, which seriously alarms that person and would cause a reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress, shall be guilty of the crime of criminal harassment
But even if Zimmerman was repeatedly stalking Trayvon (which he did not) then still Trayvon is not permitted to deck the stalker.
Does The Rocket and Big Jean still play for the Habs? (I haven’t been to a game in a while............)!!!
Maurice and Jean were before my time.
It speaks to your complete lack of credibility and honesty in this matter and the discussions here on FR.
IOW, you intentionally put forth a falsehood that was designed to discredit not only Mr. Zimmerman, but the Sanford PD as well.
Like I mentioned in a previous post, you sully the reputation of FR with your presence and continued postings because you have to date refused to either provide the proof of your slander or to honorably accept responsibility for them and retract them.
Seems like you’ve already deemed Mr. Zimmerman guilty.
Your actions and comments to date indicate to me that your “judgement” in this matter is extremely clouded.
“...Zimmerman’s stupid decision to “pursue” and accost Martin...”
I don’t suppose you have any reason to believe this. Do you? Mind sharing?
How do you define “pursue?”
How good was your view of the “accost” part?
This we all know. Again tell me how Zimmerman's account of someone "acting suspiciously" give him grounds to leave his vehicle and pursue a person walking down a public street
And you have no evidence that Zimmerman pursued OR accosted Martin. And last I looked, it's not against the law to leave your car and walk down the sidewalk in your own neighborhood. Zimmerman followed Martin, but there is no evidence that he "pursued" him.
To pursue from www.dictionary.com: to follow in order to overtake, capture, kill, etc.; chase.
Don’t feed the racist troll ... why it is allowed to remain posting at FR is anyone’s guess, but especially during fundraiser time!
Listen you miserable little race hustler, you need to quit bringing God into this. I suggest the only one who needs to go to church is you and ask for forgiveness for your continually lying.
Why you are allowed to remain on FR is beyond me. Hopefully you will be gone soon.
The burden is on the state, not on Zimmerman. You’re trying to turn the law completely on it’s head.
Listen you lying sack, Zimmerman is not my hero, but the Rev. Al is yours. Unlike you, justice is what I’m after. I’m not angry at you, other than the fact I find you a pathetic liar, I could care less about you.
What I care about, and what I think everybody here should care about, is your obnoxious use of God to try to make yourself feel better about your lying. You’re the one who’s going to have to explain to God why you used his name to advance your pathetic little self.
It is but to laugh. With regards to this incident, you have done nothing but sow FR with lies, half truths and speculation. And you have the audacity to throw the "truth" card? If it weren't so absolutely, damned pathetic, it would be hysterical.
You have been caught in lies and you refuse to atone for them by retracting and apologizing for them.
No honor, no shame.
Zimmerman didn’t call 9-11, The was no ‘chase’, Martin had already taken off running before Zimmerman opened the door, Zimmerman lost sight of Martin and says so, Zimmerman wasn’t ‘panting’, Zimmerman walked to the back entrance of the complex and did not see Martin which is where the call ended.
-btw if you think folks here are gonna spend the next six months responding to your bullshit about this case..think again.
What I do know is there are no pictures of Martin wearing these gold teeth devices. And these bogus pictures being posted that allege Martin is a tat covered gold teeth thug have been debunked multiple times. Next?
You are a liar. Pure and simple. There are pictures of Martin with tattoos and gold teeth taken from his Twitter account. They have been verified by many sources. They haven’t been debunked multiple times.
You’re pathetic. Why are you even at this site?
Unlike you, the truth matters to me. You are in fact a liar. You should be ashamed of yourself, but I seriously doubt you have any shame. That is what you are going to have to explain to God.
I’m never civil to liars. Don’t like it, TTTYT.
