*Hmm, this could prove to very interesting development.
According to George Zimmerman’s Lawyer, Mark O’Mara, the man who killed Trayvon Martin is being bothered by his conscious and that the un-armed teenager’s death at his hands “weighs” on him.
The attorney says it bothers the shooter so much that he’s thinking of apologizing to Trayvon’s family, reports ABC News.
“Understand that George fully well realizes that he was involved in some way in the death of another young man,” lawyer Mark O’Mara told ABC News.
“He does not take the result of that altercation lightly at all. That weighed on him, I would imagine, more than the isolation, more than the last six weeks, more probably than the threat of what is to come in the system,” O’Mara said.
Zimmerman spent his first night in prison in protective custody, where he could be watched at all times. Law enforcement sources told ABC News, the 28 year old “wept quite a bit” at night.
O’Mara suggested that Zimmerman may apologize to Martin’s family.
“What I want to happen is for that conversation to occur directly to the family rather than … in the media through me,” O’Mara said.

Conscience my ass! He only wants to apologize to try and save his ass now that he’s been charged. Where was the apology from him or his family prior to his arrest? Where was his common sense on the day he profiled, stalked and killed Trayvon? He wants to be remorseful all of sudden, I think not. Why doesn’t he do us all a favor and hang himself in his cell?
This is what the family wanted, an apology. This is a good start.
PLEASE.. where was the apology from DAY ONE?
WHY are we so guilble to where we ask for an apology from those WHO INTENTIONAL hurt US as a PEOPLE?
Not once have I heard the Martin family ask for an apology.. that would be STOOPID at this point, what tthe MARTIN FAMILY wanted was this shooter to be arrested LIKE ANY OTHER person who would have done the same THING- who would have been arrested..
BUT since this was a 17 year old teenage black male.. HIS LIFE doesn’t matter..and lets push incident up under the RUG. and blame the DEAD black kid. because Black folks are stoopid , RIGHT? Especially when whites tell us anything , we believe it as if its the TRUTH and let them have their way with US….YYYYEEEAAAAH RRRIIIGGGHHHTTT! —NOPE! My parents taught me better..and so of you need to have had your parent to teach you better about those who have NO intentional to treat you fair or equal.
.. so FORGET an apology.. WHO cares at this point about an apology?..If it had not been for those- even those with no sight can see this was something that would have left Trayvon Martin’s death in VAIN..
..this shooter as a STRANGER to the now decreased victim..who PROFILED- STALKED and in engaged in a struggle from a kid that was trying to GO home.. and the shooter SHOT this kid.. an apology? That that apology to the court..because the shooter will be tried for 2nd degree MUDER as he should be..and following will be the sanford Police Dept., who will be investigated for their cover-up in this MURDER of a 17 year old black male teenager.
An apology? Shut the FRONT DOOR and get the HELL out of here.. and God help you if you have a 17 year and all you want is a apology from someone who murdered your child.. Sheesh! Shut the front door and get the hell out of here.!!!
When did the Martin family publicly ask George Zimmerman for an apology? What they’ve been asking for was an arrest and a conviction to follow.
Really? Clearly you want to keep this ugly, but clearly the Martin family is more compassionate.

*choking* I agree with Gayle K. The mother did say she wanted an apology.
I stand corrected, now let’s wait and see Gayle K if your beloved George comply with Ms. Martin wishes….
platinum, GZ needs to confess and speak ‘directly’ to all the other rats in his community that what he did was WRONG, unnecessary, and how it needs to stop. Their racism manifests itself in a number of ways in this society yet they have an aversion to being exposed. GZ needs to fully confess his horrific deeds then take his place under the jail!
Killing an unarmed young man and not arresting this fool sooner is ‘ugly’. How come you have yet to show any ‘compassion’ for the young man that was killed?
Naaaw FK that! WTF is his appologizing for, when he says he was..”justified” for DOING the shyt!? See….this is just some “play the public” B.S., to tryyyy to come off like…he giiiiiiiives damn! And..if he IS truly appologizing?, isn’t this an…admission of guilt!?? I mean….”sorry” for…what!!?? You are JUST like M. Richards,D. Imus, Dog The Bounty Hunter, or any OTHER racist azzhole…you just “sorry” yo punkazz got…CAUGHT!! GTFOH wit dat fake B.S.! P.s….now goe “braid dem heads” &…”don’t drop the fkn soap”, witcha bytch azz!! Chuuuuuch/S.I.D.!!
I say let’s “keep this ugly.”
This man is CLEARLY speaking to potential jurors with this nonsense. He is trying to get a manslaughter conviction in advance. (The judge will give the jury instructions to convict him of manslaughter, IF they cannot find him guilty of second degree murder.)
He wanted to play cop. (And he would make a LOUSY cop, btw, because he doesn’t know how to follow orders … i.e., when he was told not to follow that boy.)
He stalked and murdered a teenager. IMO, he should’ve been charged with FIRST degree murder, because the whole thing, from beginning to end, smacks of “malice aforethought.”
It is very clear what he did. He killed. He stalked. He was profiling. He is sad? He is depressed? He wants to say he is sorry?
No he is sorry it was on tape!
He is sorry we heard it!
He is not a racist?
Racism is a mental illness
it has 5 commponents
1. perceptual distortion
2. denial of reality
3. delusions of granduer
4. Xenophobia
5. Projection of blame

2. “he’s thinking of apologizing to Trayvon’s family, reports ABC News.”
Whatever, the bottom line is that George Zimmerman has a better attorney now than before. I would not be surprised about a not guilty ruling in favor. No need for the sympathy role of all sudden here.
How about telling the absolute truth about that night george…. not lying and saying trayvon pursued you. personally i think he knows that the facts that the prosecutor has such as csi reports, ballistics and autopsy, are not going to support his version of the events…… so he is now trying to get ahead of it… ole george ….story is that is him screaming lets start there… thats a lie…….. and as long as he was free he and his family were cocky and full of nasty accusations …. so how about admitting the full truth and truths amongst the lies.. that is what i would want with his apology but I am not the Martins… it has to be what they want
This is a reflection of the new and improved representation that Zimmerman has at his disposal. This lawyer is smart and is using a completely different strategy. He knows that with all the shit that they got on Zimmerman, his best bet is to play it low and try to garner as much public sympathy. The other idiots were going around talking that shit how Trayvon was banging Zimmerman head on the concrete, even though they had never met Zimmerman face to face.
So far, I haven’t heard this lawyer made any outrageous statements. Like when they asked him if he was going to use Trayvon mom’s comment about it being an accident, he scornfully blew it off saying he wouldn’t do that to a mother who has lost her child. He’s also not so sure about the Stand Your Ground defense.
This guy looks like he’s even good enough to get a manslaughter conviction for Zimmerman.
Well, let’s hope the jury won’t let him.
I hope he does get convicted but I am reminded that Florida is the state that DID NOT convict Casey Anthony remember . I don’thave much faith in the juty pool down there.
What does his atttorney mean “Zimmerman MAY apologize like he has a choice. I agree with most of hte posters he is just now apologizing, it was lomg over due if you ask me. If this idiot had of listened to the 911 dispatcher whn he was told twice ” not ot follow Trayvon and the person alos said ” we do not need you to continue following him which means “back off” then a young man would not be dead right now and his family grieving. Zimmernan brought all of this on himself because he wanted to play vigilante.
Zimmerman’s biggest problem (outside of the initial bungled investigation) is the people he had speaking out on his behalf. From being close to losing consciousness (and his subsequent miraculous recovery minutes later) to claiming that Trayvon told him he was “gonna die tonight” to his brother insinuating that had Trayvon not approached Zimmerman, he would still be alive.
None of these added anything to Zimmerman’s claim/defense and whatever sympathy anyone “could” have had for him is gone.
Well, his lawyers have to advise him to do something to save the skin on his ass. I think he was either high and or drunk which is why it came to this. Yeah, the apology is cool but the reality of it is, you’ve been lying and others have been lying about that fatal night. People in Stanford were sick and tired of that horrible police department…when that white boy who’s father was a Sgt on the Sanford PD beat that homeless black guy and they swept that shit under the rug and out the door, folks were like, oh hell naw…the next big case in Florida is that deputy who was the last person to see the black guy and the Hispanic guy and they just vanished off the face of the earth. Yeah, they fired his ass because he got caught in so many lies but pretty soon, his ass will be answering some questions. They interviewed the black guy’s mom and it didn’t take Sherlock Holmes to figure out he did something to those men…
George Zimmerman nor any of his family, friends, or “legal advisers”, except the new atty, have expressed any statement of sympathy to Trayvon’s family. They’ve all said a bunch of ridiculous stuff, but no one has had enough class to say they are sorry that the young man died, regardless of the circumstances.
And I agree with some other posters, Zimmerman is “thinking” about apologizing because his lawyer told him to, and because he’ll now do anything if he thinks it may save his hide. If he didn’t apologize after all of this time, then I assure you he is not sorry for shooting Trayvon. He’s only sorry he was arrested.
