They just showed the clip on MSNBC.
FUCK this guy. I know he has to defend his client, but fuck him.
I also liked the part in the clip where O'Mara kept brushing dandruff off of Zimmerman's shoulder.

(30,885 posts)Basically saying he had it coming with Trayvon's parents sitting in the courtroom?
I hope Zimmerman stays in his cell a L-O-N-G time while the judge makes up his mind, and I hope his decision is "stay in your cell."

(7 posts)O'Mara needs to get off tv.He is GZ's defense attorney but really this is disgusting brushing his suit and smoothing his hair this is going beyond what needs to be done for a pay cheque.My sympathies to TM family.I can't imagine their sorrow.

(34,108 posts)How dare Trayvon's skin color frighten a racist coward like Zimmerman?

(50,473 posts)When O'Mara first came on to the case, he appeared to be considerate of the victim's family in his remarks in defence of his client, seemed to be straight-forward, appeared to be a refreshing change from the two previous lawyers who, imo, were off the wall.
Appearances can be deceiving, O'Mara first said he had control of the paypal account but then, after it was clear Zimmerman and his wife not only had control but were actively trying to hide money from it, pretends he never said he had control. His above comments show, beyond doubt, he has NO consideration for the victim's family in terms of the verbiage he chooses to use.
Disgusting, he mirrors his client, imo.
