Zimmerman "(holds his) Christian values very close," so he'd Tweet Dead Trayvon only once, not twice

In a letter posted Monday, Zimmerman says that the photo in the original tweet was marked as "sensitive" so it didn't automatically display and he retweeted the message, which said "Z-man is a one man army," without seeing the image. "The image of the body was blocked on my twitter feed and all twitter feeds," the letter, embedded below, reads. "Until the user chose to click on the blocked image warning it does not show the image. I did not click on the blocked image and preview it prior to re-tweeting it."

A Twitter representative told The Daily Dot that his explanation is plausible.

He doesn't apologize in the letter, but Zimmerman does say he doesn't want to relive the night he killed Martin and that he will never tweet images of him or his family.

"As many have learned about me throughout my trial and subsequent events, I hold my Christian values very close," Zimmerman writes. "I believe that me knowingly re-tweeting that image, would not be looked upon favorably by God; therefore I would not do it."
