Trayvon Martin’s Mother Calls The Shooting an Accident, than Retracts her Statement
Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin says that her statement about George Zimmerman killing her son accidentally was mischaracterized.
Here is here follow up statement:
Earlier today, I made a comment to the media that was later mischaracterized. When I referenced the word ‘accident’ today with regard to Trayvon’s death, in NO way did I mean the shooting was an accident.
We believe that George Zimmerman stalked my son and murdered him in cold blood. The ‘accident’ I was referring to was the fact that George Zimmerman and my son ever crossed paths. It was an accidental encounter. If George Zimmerman hadn’t gotten out of his vehicle, this entire incident would have been avoided.
My son was profiled, followed and murdered by George Zimmerman, and there was nothing accidental about that.
