George Zimmerman, 28, the neighborhood watch captain that shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Marton, spoke for the first time today in the form of a voicemail left on his most vocal supporter.
Frank Taaffe, a former block captain at the Sanford, Florida gated community where Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon, said Zimmerman left a message on his phone, which Taaffe released to the media on Friday. The message came from an unknown number.
In the message Zimmerman said-
"Hey Mr. Taaffe," the message began. "This is George. Um, first and foremost, I wanted to say I am very sorry for the loss of your son, and, um, I can't imagine what you must be going through. Um, secondly, I wanted to thank you for doing everything you've been doing. Um, I know you don't have to, and I appreciate it, and you're truly setting an example for me for the future of, uh, doing the right thing even when it's tough, and, uh, I appreciate it. I'll talk to you soon. Thanks."Zimmerman has not been seen publicly since news of the shooting went viral.
