Benjamin Crump Is Angry Zimmerman Is A Free Man Again
WTXL-TV ^ | April 23, 2012

Tallahassee, FL -- Local attorney Benjamin Crump represents the family of Trayvon Martin, the 17 year old who George Zimmerman admits to killing calling it self-defense.

George Zimmerman got to walk out of the John E. Polk Correctional Facility in Sanford Florida.

He got into a car and drove away a free man after securing enough money to satisfy a 150,000 dollar bond set Friday.

Attorney Benjamin Crump, Parks and Crump Attorney's At Law, says he was not happy about the latest development in the case.

Crump says, "It is with a heavy heart that Trayvon's parents had to watch his killer get released from jail. They would rather he remain in jail until the conclusion of the criminal proceedings. However they hope that his freedom is temporary because the pain he caused their family is permanent."

During his bond hearing Friday Zimmerman who says he shot 17 year old Trayvon Martin is self defense, apoligized to the Martin family saying "I am sorry for the loss of your son." Trayvon's parents don't think the apology came from his heart.

Crump says, "His apology and testimony seemed insincere. Especially when his lawyer called the day before the bond hearing asking for a private meeting to apologize. We thought that was completely inappropriate."

It seems only his family and his legal team know where Zimmerman is hiding out. His attorney Mark O'Mara says Zimmerman has received death threats.

Many attorneys believe during the trail the prosecution will have an uphill battle getting Zimmerman convicted on the second degree murder charge he faces.

Attorney Randy Giddins, from the law firm Burns and Giddins, says, "The only witness is the person who pulled the trigger. Mr. Zimmerman is the only testimony so there is no real direct evidence as far as witness statements are concerned that can show what happened."

Crump was hoping that Zimmerman would stay behind bars until his trial began.

I was hoping that Mr. Crump and his clients would stay off of television, but my hopes were dashed as well.

Crump is a pos. He has race baiters on speed dial. I pass his office every day. Maybe I will piss on his sign on the morrow.

Trayvon’s parents should be thankful someone freed society of their budding young thug before he killed someone himself

Don’t tell me they don’t know what he was up to...

They would rather he remain in jail until the conclusion of the criminal proceedings.

Black Justus on parade for all to see.

Benjamin Crump is as much a race pimp as Al Sharpton is. Justice is the last Damned thing on his mind. If he can hang George Zimmerman the mob will worship him for years. They don't care about proving innocence or guilt, they've already reached a verdict.

Has anyone ever asked Sharpton to at least apologize for the debacles he has been involved in? It won't happen, they don't care. OJ is still innocent, and the lacrosse players and the cops in the Tawana Brawley mess are still guilty in the eyes of the mob.

On a phone..

I feel for you. I've been there. Smart phones as they are, the cell phone connection is tough at best. Auto-correct is the worst.

Infuriating, isn't it? I hate that I can look at somebody, and know what they think is the truth about this case, only because of skin color. I don't even have to ask, and they know it so they don't volunteer.

MLK's dream has been set back 100 years.
