George Zimmerman: I Want To Become A Civil Rights Attorney
In a videotaped interview arranged by his attorneys to showcase “who I really am,” George Zimmerman declares he’d like to become a civil rights attorney.
One of Zimmerman’s divorce attorneys, Howard Iken, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the divorce process involves “moving on and having a new life,” and that the video’s release helps Zimmerman by allowing him to control his message.
“The publicity surrounding him is unfair and misinformed, especially the allegations he is a racist or bigot,” Iken said.
In the video made Friday in Orlando, Zimmerman highlights his participation in a program in which he was a mentor to an African-American boy, and he also describes his efforts to raise awareness about a local case in which a black homeless man was beaten by the son of a white police lieutenant.
Zimmerman said some day he would like to be able to go to law school and become a civil rights or defense attorney.
“On a grand scale, I would like to make enough of an impact on the judicial system so that what happens to me never happens to anybody,” Zimmerman said.
Perhaps we’ll see him, one day, working for the ACLU.
