Robert Zimmerman Defends Brother George in Trayvon Martin Shooting Case, saying “shouldn't use race to indict”
Robert Zimmerman Jr. told a group of reporters that his brother continues to be wrongly accused of racism in the murder case of Trayvon Martin. "Maybe we shouldn't use race to indict people's credibility or even to question it, not anymore," he told reporters at the Orlando Sentinel. He went on to defend his brother saying, " We didn't grow up with racism...We grew up with a Latino mother and white father. Theirs was an interracial love story," he added "George is not the same as he was before... that is the worst situation that anyone can or could be in: to defend themselves in that way."
