It's only a matter of time. This is just to try and poison the jury pool.

Hal Uhrig, an attorney representing George Zimmerman, has announced plans to hold a press conference at the Seminole County Courthouse on Bush Boulevard in the next hour.

The subject of the press conference is unclear, but CNN reported that Zimmerman may provide his first public comments since he shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26.

Zimmerman has been in hiding since the shooting. The press conference is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.

because he had 'hired' them, and which is why they seemed to be open to continuing to representing him even though they claim to have 'withdrawn' as his council.

Neither could Trayvon, as it turns out.

Of course, I think this was the knife to Zimmerman's side amongst all the proper lawyer talk upon withdrawal. It's an obvious reference to the case, and the drink being a Diet Coke is twisting the blade.

and have been planning on how to get him out of the country all along. Why didn't the police know where he was.

When they saw there was not going to be a grand jury they began setting their plan into place..Lying bastards! Time for Slannity to start answering some question.

He ain't gonna show up. I wouldn't be surprised if he pulls an OJ or even takes it one step further.

he has NEVER talked face to face with Zimmerman, yet he goes on and on about why he's not guilty.

How does he know that the person who has been in contact with him is actually Zimmerman???? How could they have represented someone they cannot actually be sure is the person in reality?

The one (newer lawyer) Called his client George Martin.

He repeated the lie that Trayvon's facebook page had pictures of him giving the finger with both hands

He claimed that the sunday night after Trayvon was killed, that all kinds of groups were coming in calling for Zimmermans head. What? No one in Trayvon's family even knew what had happened that night.

ahhhhh!!! what a bunch of manipulative liars.
