Was watching yesterday and saw what I now know is Zimmerman's father. Yes - totally smug! Rolling his eyes and making faces while the prosecution spoke.

A very special kind of asshole. My heart goes out to Martin's parents for enduring all of this. The death of their son, his killer's statement that he has no remorse, the smugness of his murderer's family.

I don't think I'd be able to do it.
