What happens when lawyers get involved.
Lawyers have an essential role.
But they also squelch people from having honest, open, human interactions that would help the situation, that would ease some pain, that would calm things down.
April 12th:
1, Sybrina Fulton (mother): "Thank God. We simply wanted an arrest. We wanted nothing more and nothing less, and we got it."
2, Sybrina Fulton (mother):"I would ask him, did he know that that was a minor, that that was a teenager and that he did not have a weapon? "
3. Sybrina Fulton (mother): "I believe it was an accident. I believe that it just got out of control, and he couldn't turn the clock back."
April 20th:
1. Benjamin Crump (attorney) Martin's parents were "completely devastated" over the decision to allow Zimmerman to go free.
2. George Zimmerman (shooter): "I thought he was a little bit younger than I was, and I did not know if he was armed or not."
3. Natalie Jackson (attorney): "This was the most disingenuous, insulting thing I've ever seen"
Why can't we get along? Why do we insist on judging? Why do we jump to conclusions? Why can't we work things out?
