Interview with Trayvon Martin family attorney



Democracy Now!:

Over a month after 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot dead in Sanford, Florida, his gunman George Zimmerman remains a free man despite growing questions over Zimmerman’s claim that he acted in self-defense. A new witness has spoken out saying Zimmerman did not show any signs of injures after he shot Martin, while another has reportedly alleged police pressured him to change his testimony to match Zimmerman’s story. Meanwhile Zimmerman’s family has launched a public effort to defend him, while a white supremacist has apparently hacked into Trayvon Martin’s email and Facebook accounts in an effort to tarnish his image. We speak to Natalie Jackson, an attorney for Trayvon Martin’s family. "Clearly, they are trying to protect their family member," Jackson says of interviews Zimmerman’s relatives have given to the media. "I guess they have a right to do that, but the problem is, they do not have a right to destroy Trayvon’s memory in the process."
