(Orlando Sentinel) George Zimmerman‘s attorneys today released a statement, backtracking on what they say a video of a fight found on Trayvon Martin‘s cell phone shows.
In court Tuesday, defense attorney Mark O’Mara described it as Trayvon video-recording two friends beating up a homeless man.
But in today’s statement, O’Mara apologized and said it really shows Trayvon video-recording two homeless men fighting over a bicycle.
[…] On Thursday, in preparation for the anticipated release of the fight video, an Orlando Sentinel reporter drafted a story describing it, intending to publish it once the video had been made public. A web producer prematurely posted it to OrlandoSentinel.com Friday but quickly took it down after discovering the video had not been released. The story correctly characterized the video. After readers found a cached version of the story online Sunday, Zimmerman’s attorneys released their statement and decided against posting the video. (full article from Orlando Sentinel)
