Zimmerman is going rogue.
I imagine his attorneys were advising him to lay low because the investigating authorities asked him to.
If I were his attorney, I would have Zimmerman give a statement by phone or on camera from a secret location in which he says that Trayvon Martin was trying to kill him.
If I were in George Zimmerman’s shoes, I would be pleading my innocence from the rooftops. That’s just me.
Every news piece or documentary I’ve seen on Judge Bork said he made a fatal error by shying away from the media and letting them define him without going out in public and pleading his case. I thought everyone else had learned that lesson by now. If you’re innocent, you cannot stay in hiding and not respond to the negative attacks. If you’re guilty, then, yeah, you should probably keep your mouth shut, so you don’t incriminate yourself, and hope you get off on a technicality. Not speaking out in your defense will cause people to assume the accusations against you are correct, plain and simple. Zimmerman could win the court case but still have his life and reputation ruined if he doesn’t address the public.

Exactly. By not responding in public, you let the lynch mob build.
Well, then you should definitely watch this and then tell me if you still think George should talk to anyone without his attorney present. At least his father, as a Virginia magistrate, should have good advice for George, even if George doesn't know what to do.
