Lawyers say Trayvon Martin’s parents fear George Zimmerman may be a flight risk

SANFORD, Florida – George Zimmerman’s attorneys said during a press conference Tuesday that they’ve lost contact with their client and have decided to withdraw as his counsel.

This spurred fear in Trayvon Martin’s parents that Zimmerman may be a flight risk.

Zimmerman’s attorneys, Hal Uhrig and Craig Sonner, said they lost all contact with their client since Sunday and that he has exhibited bizarre behavior over the past few days. They say he's communicated with media and the special prosecutor's office after they'd asked him not to speak with anyone.

Urigh said he believes Zimmerman is in the country but that people need to look far away from Florida to find him. He said:

"We have a pretty good idea where he is. We know his phone number that goes to voicemail. That’s the number he used to contact the special prosecutor’s office and they called him back on that number.”(continued)

HOW CAN YOU BE A "FLIGHT RISK" IF YOU'RE NOT UNDER INDICTMENT?! Are they ignorant or purposely spinning this?

George probably doesn't trust them to keep his location secret.

I can't blame him.

The solution to this is for the law to come down hard on the Azzholes who put out the wanted poster and bounty. If the legal system is afraid to act why should George trust anyone?

10,000 new black panthers running around the country side trying to collect a $1m bounty on his head

truth and rational thinking are in short supply, especially with the administration and the black ‘leaders’ calling for blood

hmmm... pretty sure i’d make myself scarce as well

Oh, I don’t know. If there’s anybody on the entire planet with a perfectly good reason for blowing away any black guy giving him the stink
eye, it’s Zimmerman.

no identity theft, but what if every freeper promoted an identity on the net of George Zimmerman? Wouldn’t all of the confusion hide the real guy that is getting screwed? Not a suggestion. Just a question.

I'd dumped those lawyers to. They say he was acting weird by talking to people they told him not to? To bad. Yeah, maybe he should keep his mouth shut but your his counsel, not God. He can talk to whomever he wants.

And Laura Ingraham said his attorneys had never tried to meet with him, only talked over the phone. I guess now they feel he no longer wants them they had to get on TV some way, which was probably what they were after from Day 1.

And not only is he not indicted, he doesn't have to have an attorney, although he should have one.

I saw Laura Ingraham interview Crump, the Martin’s lawyer last night and he said he wants Zimmerman arrested... not convicted... just arrested. Now why would he not care about a conviction if he wants “justice”? It’s all about the money.

If I were GZ I think I’d relo to some place like Montana where there is minimal Amish presence and sympathetic locals who would likely have his back.

Heck I think I’ll go there myself.

Since the guy has committed no crime or been indicted of one, he is NOT a flight risk. You can only be a flight risk if you are charged with a crime and are awaiting trial. Zimmerman could go anywhere in the world he wants to and be perfectly legal at this point.

This BS has to stop. Where are the Republican leaders that should be denouncing all this crap?

We don't know if he went to the 7-11 and bought Tea and Skittles

We don't know what items Martin had in his possession that night.

Trust me if it was a 50/5 chance of conviction he would have already been arrested.

Definition: “Get him arrested”-—Put Z in jail so that some Black inmate can build street cred by shanking him—TO DEATH. (No messy trial, evidence, conviction, etc....)

Z had better get out of the country and try to stay ahead of the POTUS INSPIRED lynch mob.

I’d be a flight risk too if the Black Panthers put a bounty on my head, Spike Lee was trying to tweet my address and the president and attorney general were egging them on.

Anyone who believes these lawyers jumped ship after less than two days of no contact needs their head examined. Z’s neighbor said he talked to him on the phone on Monday. Either the lawyers got death threats or Z has found someone high powered to represent him if the need arises.

As this thing continues to spin out of control, the best the race hustlers can hope for is for the Prosecutor to announce that there will be no arrest or indictment because there is no evidence of a crime.

Then they can hold onto their precious delusions of justice denied, and make hay off of this case forever. There are still people out there who think that Tawana Brawley was telling the truth, after all. This case will become another in a long list of imagined injustices, each of them equally fraudulent.
