Zimmerman apologizes, relaunches website in TV interview
Jul-21-2012

In his first interview, George Zimmerman apologized for what happened to Trayvon Martin and for the controversy it sparked.
"I'm sorry that this happened," he said in an interview with Fox News Channel. "I hate to think that because of this incident, my actions, it has polarized America."
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of Martin in Sanford in February. Zimmerman said it was self-defense.
Prosecutors filed a supplemental discovery notice with one item on Thursday -- the interview. They say they may use his comments at trial.
Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, said he is prepared to deal with what comes from his client's interview, but said he's not surprised by the state's decision to use the interview at trial.
"We'll deal with the fallout. It will be minimal," said O'Mara. "The timing wasn't great, but it was out of necessity. The family and defense fund is basically broke."
O'Mara said the interview was to publicize the relaunch of Zimmerman's own website, therealgeorgezimmerman.com, a website that Zimmerman himself controls.
Many legal experts said they aren't sure why Zimmerman would give a television interview and be so specific about the facts in the case.
"It's just a weird time. It didn't seem necessary," said former prosecutor Jeff Deen. "I'm not sure what they could have possibly gained."
