George Zimmerman and His Apology

George Zimmerman says in this video as he appears to be looking at his attorney that he is sorry that Martins lost their son.  You quickly realize Zimmerman is not sorry that he killed Trayvon, only that the Martin’s lost his son.

There is a huge difference between the two, and it makes Zimmerman’s apology fall short, if you ask me.

Zimmerman appears to have planned to say this statement, and rehearsed it with his attorney. Hence that is why he looks at his attorney from what I can see when he begins the statement and when he ends it.

This was not the appropriate time for this apology nor was it done with any sincerity.  It was clearly for image control than anything, if you ask me, and it came across exactly in that manner, as it was intended.

We can certainly conclude that Zimmerman is not remorseful about killing Martin — neither his words nor his emotions support this.

George shows notable inconsistencies when he is asked by the prosecuting attorney if he ever made an apologetic statement after the incident to police. He firmly says, “No, sir.”

Yet within a second or two, he realizes what he said and he changes his answer.  He says, “I don’t remember what I said…I believe I said that.”  Then Zimmerman tries to convince us he did say it, but he doesn’t remember much.  He continues, “In one of the statements, I believe I said I was sorry.”  Yet when questioned who was present when he spoke, he can’t confirm who it was.

Do I believe George?  I do not.
