George Zimmerman mug shot April 11, 2012
George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain whose killing of unarmed 17 year old Trayvon Martin allegedly under Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law sparked a national outcry over racial profiling, turned himself in with a new lawyer and was subsequently charged with second degree murder. Zimmerman is expected in court Thursday, April 12, where his lawyer Mark O’Mara said he will plead not guilty to the charges. In an interview with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell Wednesday night, O’Mara teared up when talking about the emotional toll of Martin’s death on the family. “It was horrible what they now have to live through. However it occurred, it’s extraordinarily sad — you should never lose a child for any reason,” he said. On the “Today Show” Thursday morning, Trayvon’s mother Sybrina Fulton said she thought the shooting was “an accident.”

I love it! Zimmerman and his entire family are cold-blooded sociopathic personalities who have no regard for human life. They’ll lie as much as they have to defend their maniac son. Theyu could care less about him killing some black kid. Hopefully he’ll get life in prison without the possibility of parole. Small cell, no window, no tiolet, no bed. So he can bang his head against the wall until he dies.
