Here is the whole Mark O'Mara media-slaying transcript:

Through the miracle of TIVO, see MSNBC Lean Forward, and take it on the nose like George Zimmerman did:


MO'M: Thanks guys, appreciate the time... oh, someone said it was the last question so...

Pressbabe: Please, just a very quick um I wasazummarummarummanational network. From your private conversations with George Zimmerman, what was the most compelling statement from George Zimmerman that made you believe in his innocence?

MO'M: I think there's not just one but I think if you really want to look at the statements, the first opportunity that he... he could say something about this case, he said "I was screaming out for help and nobody came."

MO'M: When Officer Cerrino (sp?) challenged him and said "I think there may be a video of this" he said "Thank God." I dismiss with disgust the State's suggestion that he was some cop wannabe savant who knew that he could take on that bluff. I think that really speaks to what George was going through that night and how he presented it. So if you wanna look for some insight from him that was it.

Pressbabe: Was he crying to you?

MO'M: I'm sorry?

Pressbabe: Did he ever cry to you, show any emotions?

MO'M: Ab... absolutely. 16 months of some people calling him the most hated man in America for having defended his own life even if he had a need for 45 seconds, and then a man who believes in the system, whose Dad was a judge, who maybe wanted to be a cop or a prosecutor, then gets into 2... 2 systems went against George Zimmerman that he can't understand.

MO'M: You guys, the media, he was like a patient on an operating table with a mad scientist committing experiments on him and he had no anaesthesia. He didn't know why he was turned into this monster, but quite honestly you guys had a lot to do with it. You just did, because you took a story that was fed to you and you ran with it, and you ran right over him, and that was horrid to him.

MO'M: Them he comes into a system that he trusts, let's not forget - six voluntary statements, voluntary surrender, and he believes in a system that that he really wanted to be part of, right? And then he gets prosecutors that charge him with a crime that they could never, ever prove. It's not like - they didn't lose evidence on the way, right?

MO'M: I don't think anyone would argue with me in this room that they had evidence of second-degree murder. This "in your heart" kind of stuff, that's not what we're supposed to do and it's not what they're supposed to do. So those two systems failed him.
