Zimmerman's Apology!

In Zimmerman's apology to the family of the teen that he shot, people think that it was an act just to get his bond set.  It may or may not have been.  In reading his apology, I feel that he was trying to be a sincere person.  I understand how Trayvon's family must feel towards this man and his apology.  They probably think he is full of it.  I know that if  I were in their shoes, I would be hesitant about it. In the article is has an excerpt of George Zimmerman's apology for the incident that caused Trayvons death.

"I wanted to say I am sorry for the loss of your son," Zimmerman said in an unusual appeal directly to Martin's family before he testified in the Seminole County Courthouse in Sanford. "I thought he was a little bit younger than I was, and I did not know if he was armed or not."

Zimmermans attorney also stated the following: " Mark O'Mara, said after the hearing that his client was responding to an interview in which Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, said she wanted to hear from the man who shot her son.
"He didn't want to defend himself, he didn't want to discuss the facts of the case. He heard the request of the family, and he wanted to respond to it," O'Mara said, adding that an attempt to apologize to the family in private was rebuffed."
