Zimmerman Attorney To Anderson Cooper: Trayvon Martin Broke My Client’s Nose
mediaite ^ | 3/24/2012 | by Frances Martel

Amid the rush of loud outrage and vocal protest from the parents of Trayvon Martin and their supporters the silence of one character in this tragic tale has been deafening: George Zimmerman, the free man who shot Martin and alleges self-defense. His attorney, Craig Sonner, finally spoke out to Anderson Cooper last night, and had few answers but one accusation– his client has a broken nose and a laceration on his skull, and that was “an injury done by Trayvon Martin.”

Sonner noted to Cooper that his client seemed fine save for a “considerable bit of stress” natural to his situation, but admitted that “y conversations have been by telephone.” He did not know where Zimmerman was but assumed he was “still in the area” and hadn’t fled the country. He had surprisingly little to offer Cooper about the facts of the case; asked what Zimmerman had told him about what transpired the night Martin died, he said “he should have made a statement to police at the time, I believe he did,” and said he “did not discuss the details,” and they would be privileged even if he had.

It damn sure does not let you stalk anyone, and since it allows you to kill someone when you are in-fear of your life and being stalked, hitting would be fine. Now give we a link to where a questions was asked other than in your mind.

If a grand jury declines to follow the law and a jury declines to follow the law, then he might end up in prison. One might call that a “lynching” of a sort.

It doesn’t change the fact that Zimmerman apparently did absolutely nothing illegal.

you have always been a dedicated provacateur and you have been on the wrong side of every argument I’ve ever seen you on.

You are continuing your tradition.

You are correct, if I am being followed by some pervert, and i think he is going to kill me, under Florida law, I can hide behind the next corner and kill the stalker with a brick and the stand your ground law would apply.

Wrong, if the kid was tying to save his life from a mugger and the mugger broke free and shot him what would be the result. On top does not mean anything other than the kid was fighting for his life from a stalker he did not know.

Making stuff up doesn't help your argument.

Trayvon’s father listened to the tape and confirmed it was not his son screaming in the background, so it was most likely Zimmerman.
Your post is spot on,btw. I fear this “white man” is in for a world of hurt and will get the full Duke Lacrosse treatment from the dishonest media. if I were him I would be in Cancun.

You weren't there.

Your post is pure speculation, and could've occurred on Mars for what it's worth.

According to the police report their were 6 witnesses so there’s a lot more to this story than has been released to the public.

The law does not cover zimmerman because he was the stalker. You cannot be stalking someone as in hunting them, and you are armed and claim they started the whole thing and were the aggressor. You have not read the mans statement, here it is. http://www.newsmax.com/US/Zimmerman-Trayvon-Sanford-Baxley/2012/03/23/id/433671
