39. Few people facing murder two

Fri Apr 20, 2012, 03:12 PM

Apr 2012

Would say 'I'm sorry I murdered your son' at a bail hearing. No doubt his lawyer instructed him to say what he did. Acknowledge that Trayvon's death is sad and give a nod to the family, but don't use any language that points to you as responsible. And certainly don't use the word 'murder.'

This is pretty much par for the course.

I think it's a tricky balancing act RZM Apr 2012 #42

it did not work very well for him noiretextatique Apr 2012 #44

I agree he came off uncaring. But his weak ass apology served it's purpose npk Apr 2012 #58

I don't think right now anything Zimmerman could say will make the Martins forgive him. Only southernyankeebelle Apr 2012 #4

i doubt that...not until he takes responsibility for what he did noiretextatique Apr 2012 #13

I have to agree with you--the "loss" word was just too distancing, IMO. MADem Apr 2012 #20

Thats true. But deep down he knows what he did. southernyankeebelle Apr 2012 #47

In the setting where he was, he really couldn't have taken responsibility for it jmowreader Apr 2012 #59

All really good reasons why not to stalk. WingDinger Apr 2012 #3

The old non-apology apology. Control-Z Apr 2012 #12

Not "death"--"loss"--kind of like "Ooops, I lost that book you loaned me." MADem Apr 2012 #22

nope, it's worse, kind of like, "Ooops, that book you loaned me was lost somehow". CreekDog Apr 2012 #33

Certainly--he is working very hard to diminish his role in the murder of the teen. nt MADem Apr 2012 #35

Is he afraid he might Control-Z Apr 2012 #52

He seemed very glib when he made the statement, that's for sure. nt MADem Apr 2012 #53
