NOT GOOD she may have just blew the case you can bet during the trial Zimmerman's lawyers will harp on that statement bottom line the Martins need to stop talking to the DAMN!!!!! media because everything they say will come back to hunt them during the trial. http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/04/12/travyon-martins-mother-i-believe-it-was-an-accident/

(36,974 posts)Earlier today, I made a comment to the media that was later mischaracterized. When I referenced the word accident today with regard to Trayvons death, in NO way did I mean the shooting was an accident.
We believe that George Zimmerman stalked my son and murdered him in cold blood. The accident I was referring to was the fact that George Zimmerman and my son ever crossed paths. It was an accidental encounter. If George Zimmerman hadnt gotten out of his vehicle, this entire incident would have been avoided.
My son was profiled, followed and murdered by George Zimmerman, and there was nothing accidental about that.

(15,670 posts)That's why there are degrees of murder.
And the point is not really whether he's guilty or not. It's that the authorities did not feel like a young black man's death was worth getting to the bottom of. If Stand Your Ground laws are a DEFENSE, that means, you use that law to justify your actions in court.

(27,453 posts)all the parties involved to get off the stage and let the prosecutor do her job. All these TV appearances just end up muddying the waters and make it harder to get an impartial jury. There's been so much press on this that jury selection is going to be problematic as it is.
