ORLANDO -- Trayvon Martin's parents have a `heavy heart' now that neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman has been released from a Florida jail on bail as he awaits his second-degree murder trial.

Attorney Benjamin Crump represents Martin's parents. Crump said Monday that they would rather have seen Zimmerman stay in jail until he is tried for killing their 17-year-old son during a Feb. 26 confrontation at a gated community.

All they have is the victim card.

It is disgusting.

He’s not “released.” What IS wrong with these people? Bail doesn’t mean he’s not going to have a trial. Unless the Martin family is concerned for George Zimmerman’s safety...they are concerned for his safety, right? /sarc

Their son is dead and they need to look for someone to blame. They, like most parents, are unwilling to face the prospect that the sweet little child they remember could possibly have had anything to do with his own demise.

Too bad they don’t have anything resembling a conscience.

The parents are seperated but the images show them together.

They know their child.

They know their child made a stupid “tough guy” manuver.

Their lawyers are guarding them for the “exclusive interview rights” and for a civil pay off.

They did lose their son it’s always tough to see wrong in the ones you love and have loved let’s not be too harsh on them. It’s a reasonably sad situation with no real bad guys or heroes in this one in my opinion. Both Zimmerman and Martin acted stupidly. Zimmerman should have let the police handle it and not confronted Martin and Martin once he got the upper hand should not have bashed Zimmermans head in the ground since that alone could cause death and opens the door to use lethal force to defend oneself.

Maybe so, but I bet they aren’t light in the wallet after trademarking Trayvon. Probably get royalties off of Wyclef Jean as well.

And lets not forget the P!@$%y !#s Cracka shirts...

>> The parents are seperated but the images show them together.

Think of it as a lottery ticket they own together.

They figure they have to get along just long enough to cash it in.
