Statement from Trayvon Martin’s Family and their Attorneys
One year ago today, the State of Florida decided that there was evidence to charge George Zimmerman for second-degree murder for profiling, pursuing, and killing our unarmed teenage son. The facts of this case are simple and straightforward. We are confident that a jury following the overwhelming evidence against George Zimmerman will hold him accountable for killing our son, Trayvon Martin.
For the Zimmerman family to allege that the justice system doesn’t work, simply because they are unhappy their son was arrested in the first place, is disingenuous and disrespectful to the very system that is currently affording him every available opportunity to defend himself. The arrest of an admitted killer is not a violation of due process, it is due process. Most will agree that no one has been given greater consideration by the justice system for killing an unarmed child, than George Zimmerman.
We continue to pray that our son’s death will serve as a catalyst in preventing other senseless acts of gun violence.
Ah Mr. Crump, ever the showman. The state charged George on your false narrative and nothing more. Repeating the same rhetoric over and over doesn't make is so. (OK maybe for those who have your fiction and not facts embedded in their brains, it might work). There is no overwhelming evidence against George. Quite the contrary, all the evidence to date, favors George. To say the Zimmerman family is not happy is an understatement. Corruption is rampant in the justice system, and you and people like you, are the cause. And no, most would not agree that George has been given greater consideration for killing Trayvon Martin. If anything, George has been treated unfairly to the extreme.
Yes, I pray Trayvon's death will be a catalyst also. I pray it will serve as a reminder to any young man who thinks violence is acceptable behavior.
