Wow. This guy’s got a helluva lot of nerve….
From ABC News:
After weeks of silence and seclusion, George Zimmerman has released a public statement about the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, referring to incident as a “life altering event,” on his website, therealgeorgezimmerman.com.
In a statement on the site, which Zimmerman’s attorneys have confirmed to ABC News belongs to him, the 28-year-old wrote, “As a result of the incident and subsequent media coverage, I have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family, and ultimately my entire life.”
Zimmerman says his website gives him an outlet to speak directly to his supporters. On the site he created a PayPal account where he also asks supporters to donate to his legal fund and living expenses. However, the site has been unavailable intermittently throughout the day.
These first public comments come as the special prosecutor investigating the shooting decided against empanelling a grand jury to seek an indictment against Zimmerman. The decision to forego a grand jury precludes a first-degree murder charge, but prosecutors insist that was never a viable option. Charges against Zimmerman, if filed, could come within days.
Zimmerman also features a photo of a vandalized black cultural center at Ohio State University:
