http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/05/28/2065161/zimmerman-lawyer-goes-on-national-tv-to-smear-trayvon-martin-with-inadmissible-evidence/Benjamin Crump, the attorney for Martins family, explained... "Is the defense trying to prove Trayvon deserved to be killed by George Zimmerman because (of) the way he looked? If so, this stereotypical and closed-minded thinking is the same mindset that caused George Zimmerman to get out of his car and pursue Trayvon, an unarmed kid who he didnt know. The pretrial release of these irrelevant red herrings is a desperate and pathetic attempt by the defense to pollute and sway the jury pool...."
O'Mara is quickly becoming as tainted in character as is Zimmerman himself.

OP
Zimmerman knows he's going to be convicted. He needs the public to save him.

As much as tainting the jury pool, it helps Z's defense fund (my opinion). nt

The defense is trying to get the "people" on their side and taint the jury but they are only making fools of themselves and making powerful enemies.

at one of those "even-nuttier-than-the-NRA-extremists" gun-rights groups' national meeting last year....they even gave him an award, iirc...

for trying to undermine the ruling on admissible evidence. I hope potential jurors see this as the low and desperate move it is.
