Trayvon Martin’s mother Sybrina Fulton told the TODAY show Thursday that she believes her son’s fatal shooting by George Zimmerman was an accident.
“I believe it was an accident, I believe that it just got out of control and he couldn’t turn the clock back," she said.

He couldn’t turn the Glock back, actually.
Not making any money on her copyright?
Now the bucks can start flowing.
Special DA had a talk with her about the case ( lack there of one).
Actually, it was a Kel-Tec, but that works, I like it.
I’m thinking the parents are finding out what really happened are changing their tune. A little late, after releasing the race baiting, whitey hating, hounds.
Just yesterday I read where she called it “murder!” What has changed her mind now?
Hey, if she is starting to walk it back to the truth, DON’T MAKE MATTERS WORSE.
A man’s freedom is at stake.
Such a wonderful legacy.
Background evidence:
I believe a deal has been worked out between the Martin family, the prosecutor and Z. Have you noticed that the mother has recently said, that what she really wanted was an arrest of Z... not that she was pushing for a guilty verdict regardless of guilt. They all know now what went down, and they all know the propensity of T pushing the envelope, testing out his growing taste for thuggish behavior in newly actualized adult, brutish body.
Z likely is remorseful, and wishes things had not gone down the way they did, but still, he is left with the proposition, that it was either himself or T that would die that night, and justifiable homicide is everybody's conclusion. T's family knows, they knew the path he was choosing, they knew if he didn't get back to the straight and narrow, he would either wind up dead or going to jail for killing someone, they knew.
The story is indeed tragic.
She just handed the defense a HUGE gift.Don’t know whether she realizes that or not.For that matter I don’t know if she might have *intended* to that.A tape of that comment will be played by the defense in their closing argument.In fact,it could even cause the prosecutor to refrain from bring this to trial.It’s *that* big.
I never knew skittles were s street name for drugs. Thanks...because I'll listen for it among the kids I know. (My grandchildren)
I shot a Kel-Tec pistol that fired a 5.56 round. Can’t remember the model name, but damn, what a loud gun.
So, now that the state has brought 2nd degree murder charges, it was all an accident.
I don’t know who looks more stupid here. The race baiters or the state, who brought these charges out of fear of the race baiters.
What a mess. I suppose the charges should now be dropped. Maybe they will be.
I blame the racism on the President. Not on this aggrieved mother. Wasn’t she the one who thought her son was suspended for tardiness? Then she, as well as everybody else in the world, found out that the 17 year old was getting into things he should not have been getting into. Who knows, if he hadn’t been killed, whether he would have continued on that path, or turned things around? In the meanwhile, the undated family photo shows what looks to be a 14 year old with so much potential. Regardless of the outcome of the criminal proceeding, we who are Christians hope that this mother and her son will be reunited in heaven.
Al Sharpton and his goons have been fanning the flames not so much the family, although they have let it happen. It would be wise for them to distance themselves from Sharpton who is solely out to use their sons death for political and personal gain.
Yep, the money train begins to roll, this gal will win the Oscar for 2012's best actress.

I see the same truth in the matter. As a teacher, I see that most parents aren’t aware of their child’s behavior until issues arise at school. This 17 year old thug is like a lot of the thugs in my school - brazenly cocky, but at the first sign of trouble they turn dewy eyed and willowy.
It was intentional. It was either self-defense or murder. But even Zimmerman doesn't claim that his gun went of accidentally.
ML/NJ
How interesting. Perhaps she knows that now that there is going to be a concerted defense the real Travon Martin is going o be shown for what he really was?
I’m thinking they saw Zimmerman’s mugshot.
Can’t we all just get along?
Sheesh
One sad consequence of this thing is that riots ensue, more black people will be killed by other black people.
A Marxist winwin.
Actually, the State bringing charges is not all that stupid.
If they had not brought charges they knew that things would have exploded with riots etc.
Now that charges have been brought it appears the mother and probably all the family will now start ‘talking down’ the racists as they know what really happened.
Now if the case is dismissed or a not guilty verdict is reached at trial they are hoping all the evidence will dissipate the tensions and hopefully avert riots.
it is a calculated gamble by the state — trade 100% sure riots for a 25-50% chance there are no riots when Zimmerman is exonorated.
And then there is always the possibility that there is evidence that shows the charges are justified — although I think this is highly unlikely.

However, the truth will not stop the NBP or Jesse or Al from marching, rioting over this so-called White-Hispanic killing "Little" Trayvon.
All the while, indifferent to the horrific Black on Black and Black on White murder rates nationwide.
Even with ‘accidents’ one can be charged with manslaughter here in Fl.............
A man’s freedom AND LIFE is at stake. How long do you think he will last in prison? His life won't be worth a plug nickel............
Yes I believe this also. But look what has happened as a result. All the fuel of distrust and old hatreds has reared its ugly head. If we are to save this republic we cant just vote good people into office us, the american public need each other to pull this off.
Charging Mr. Zimmerman with second degree murder is an outrage and should make everyone take pause for we have now fallen into MOB RULE. I have been asking myself why when the first prosecutor said there is no case here, Ms. Corey charges Mr. Z with murder? One can only come up with but one conclusion, this is to try and calm the mob down. Never thought I would see this day. And how is Mr. Z supposed to get a fair trial? We should all be very afraid at this turn of events.
Oh and thank you JimRob for sending my password to me so quick you are such a sweetie. :-)
If it was an accident, it lets Zimmerman off, but perhaps makes it easier for the Martin family to collect from the HOA insurance company.
You seem to be under the impression the US operates under Sharia Law ans it's a case of the courts regulating the grievences and blood money in the case of the Martin clans v. the Zimmerman clan.
US lae is a desendent of British Law. The crimes are viewed as committed against The King's Peace or The People.
Once someome is accused it's Florida v. George Zimmerman.
Ny feeling is the States Attorney has a couple of underreported facts/circumstances that give her a really stong case against Zimmerman under Florida Law and Zimmerman is as innocent as Mumia Abu-jamal.
I thought that last night.
The prosecutor brings charges to make a trial happen so ALL the evidence is presented in court for ALL to see.
Then he is found NOT GUILTY and the state is off the hook...........
According to Florida law, now that there was an arrest she can start suing. She made it clear that all she wanted was an arrest, she didn’t mention justice in the press conference.
Now the bucks can start flowing.
And the facts regarding Trayvon can come out through discovery such as any behavorial, social issues he had, drug use, any drugs/alcohol in his system the night he died, etc... Up till now the general public has been treated to photos of a cute 13 year old boy. That will change in court.
The decision to charge him with second degree murder, is nothing more than a compromise to end the protests and to defuse a situation which could get out of control, and to prevent more incidents of violence or worse.
So, it’s a compromise, where the state charges the defendant with second degree murder, the charge gets reduced in court to manslaughter, and the defendant ends up serving a short period of time in prison, and gets released before his next birthday.
Alternately, the charges are dropped for lack of evidence, and Zimmerman and his family apologize to the Martin family, and the whole situation will have been defused. Thus, the charges are, mostly, just a means to defuse an ugly situation, and to prevent it from getting worse.
Which is WHY MOM sent TRAYVON to go live with his DAD.
I know.. Why are we only hearing this now? UnFreakinReal!
I just have one question.
Where are the pitures of Zimmerman’s family? The kid with his parents? Seems odd.
a very apt analysis.
I could only stomach just so much of the news conference after the prosecutor referred to the parents as "sweet" and that as prosecutor she just wanted "justice for Trayvon."
One sad consequence of this thing is that riots ensue, more black people will be killed by other black people.
Chicago homicides soar in first quarter of 2012

You got that right!!
Jackson, Sharpton, and Obama don't care how many black people are killed, as long as they can hold onto their power and wealth.
Why would Zim apologize to the Martin’s? If his story is true then he was viciously attacked and Trayvon attempted to murder him. In such a case, the Martin’s should apologize to Zim for their thug son’s behavior.
Not so fast there. Zimmerman will move for dismissal based on having statutory immunity. Corey or whoever she punts this to will have to produce evidence and argument that establish it is more likely than not, that Zimmerman did NOT act is reasonable fear of death or serious injury.
I agree with your post 100%. It is just not our way to charge someone with a crime for the purpose you described.
If ‘dad’ had stayed home that night and kept an eye on Trayvon, Trayvon wouldn’t be dead.
I have seen a few pics of him and his parents. But they show a 6 foot tall 160 pound Trayvon, not a 5 foot tall skinny 13 year old Trayvon, so they have been suppressed or removed from the airwaves.....
