" The Gerstles were expected to hold a press conference today at the office of Zimmerman?s attorney Mark O?Mara, but cancelled a few hours before it was supposed to take place?
?The family called because they wanted to address the media. I knew that if we did it in an organized way, it would help them get back to a normal life.. But they called today and said they were more worried about blow back from saying anything that would be favorable to George, and decided they did not want to do any media,? O?Mara said.
The lawyer said that when he spoke to the Gerstles ?their voices were trembling? and that they feared saying anything positive about Zimmerman ?would be toxic.??
Zimmerman ?should be [armed] given the threats against him,? O?Mara said. He added, ?If I were him I would leave? the country."
