First thing his lawyer needs to do is stop him lying on the witness stand. Just saying.

He's on record telling the dispatcher he thinks Martin was "late teens"

Zimmerman did not “apologize” to the parents for shooting their son, as stated in the lead-in.

He said he was “sorry for the loss of their son.”

Those two statements are not the same thing.
