George Zimmermans Lawyers Withdraw As Counsel After Losing Contact With Him
On Tuesday afternoon, Craig Sonner and Hal Uhrig, attorneys for George Zimmerman, held a press conference to announce they are withdrawing as his counsel after losing contact with their client. They noted that they still consider his actions the night of Trayvon Martins death to have been in self-defense.
The two attorneys shared that they last spoke with their client on Sunday and have since lost contact with him after daily contact, adding that, if Zimmerman would like to retain them as counsel, he knows where to reach them.
They added that they had not approved of the way he handled a website created without their consent, and that they believe, although cannot confirm, that Zimmerman had reached out to Fox News Sean Hannity off the record, later refusing to tell them what hed shared.
The final straw was finding out that Zimmerman had reached out to the Special Prosecutor Coreys office directly, without first consulting them. We were a bit astonished, they noted, adding that the Special Prosecutors office had refused to speak to Zimmerman without his counsel, only to have been told by Zimmerman that he merely had legal advisers, not attorneys.

He's probably really hiding in his daddy's basement.

(28,979 posts)There must be someone in Virginia he still knows. I suppose the possibility is that he fled long ago. Maybe out of the country even.
And that's why the parade of friends and family acting as proxies. He's probably hoping to make a living on the website. Scumbag.
Can you sneak out of the country these days without some agency having a record?

The Feds probably have the info somewhere if they can find it though.

?
he's probably acting like this just to get someone with authority to make a slip-up. Its a very unusual case with a very unusual SYG law somewhat protecting him.

So if you see a black bear driving veeewwwy slowly in a white Bronco, we don't need you to follow him. Just call 911.

(102,200 posts)They have every right to want "blood", but all in the world they want is an arrest and for the court system to play out--however that might end.
Honestly.... I don't know how they are managing. But, I hope the support they are getting is helping them.

(15 posts)"Either he has skipped the country or he is setting up the 'temporary insanity' defense.
Makes sense.
A second lawyer, Hal Uhrig, just joined the defense team.
He like brought all sorts of fresh ideas with him.
