Zimmerman's attorney, when addressing Trayvon's mother, says the word "apologize."

He apologizes to her for the loss of her son....trying to mitigate Zimmerman's answers to Hannity that were played for the jury this past week. Zimmerman when asked by Hannity, said he had no regrets, wouldn't change events of that night.

Reaaly? It's not the defense attorney who should express remorse, and I hope the prosecution makes that fact very clear in the closing statement.
