From the Piers Morgan interview tonight - Robert Zimmerman Jr., the brother of George Zimmerman, may have made a Freudian slip near the end of the interview:
MORGAN: Has George ever lied to you?
ZIMMERMAN: Not to my knowledge, no.
MORGAN: He's always been completely, 100 percent honest?
ZIMMERMAN: He's -- he would be the more honest of the two. The most honest brother. I would say. He's very straight and narrow. And you know, very helpful guy. Very concerned with his neighbor and the truth.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the integrity of his own brother and then he tries to rebound his slip as if he was conscious he just made a mistake - what do make of it?

OP
Quite the interesting statement... Revealing as you say..what a context to speak about honesty!

...and having seen a lot of people lie it was a dead give away.

His brother wasn't there, his father wasn't there, Joe Oliver wasn't...this is just more white noise that the corporate media loves to play with to manipulate a story. It's filler to feed the conjecture mill and a vain attempt by Chicken Noodle Nuze to "own" this story to try to get ratings for their sorry ass "network".
