*Trayvon Martin’s parents are speaking out after their son’s murderer apologized to them in court.
They didn’t believe him.
“It was an emotional day and the family was disheartened,” said Benjamin Crump, the lawyer for the family. It was the first time Trayvon Martin’s parents were in the same room with the man who killed their son, Crump said. “The family wants a conviction,” he said. “And they would rather that he would not be out of jail.”

The family’s statement came out after the judge ruled George Zimmerman was can be released on a $150,000 bail.
“They felt the apology was insincere,” Crump said. “They felt that the apology had a lot of self-serving motives. We think it was to curry favor with the court. It was offensive to the family.”
Crump added, “Zimmerman had 50 days to apologize, but he waited until the hearing to apologize. He never once said he was sorry for taking the life of Trayvon Martin. He never said he felt remorse.”
Other observers say that his apology was likely made to help his case.
I agree with the Martins, that apology was full of crap and he only did it because he was going to be released from jail. I was hoping the authorities would keep his azz in jail until the trial. NOw Zimmeerman is out of jail at a secret location and no doubt he has security and he is allowed to be with his family etc.after depriving a young man of his life and future.
I co sign. This made was not sincere nor feel guilty about the pain he has caused. I thought it was disgusting and even more so that he was let out on bail. I hope justice is served. Those prosecutors better go hard on him.
Somebody should have yelled out…”TAKE THAT APOLOGY AND STICK IT UP YOUR AZZ!!” Insensitive bastard! Him and his lawyer for telling him to do it AT THAT TIME! I guess timing is everything!
Does anbody realize that he lied during that apology? He said that he didn’t know Trayvon was a teenager when he apologized to the parents, but on the 911 call he said that Trayvon looked like a teenager.
Too little Too late! He is a racist and I pray that he gets committed of this crime
Looking forward to hearing the facts.
