printThe putative attorneys for George Zimmerman (Treyvon Martin’s shooter) demonstrated their professional bona fides by holding a press conference in which these publicity whores—these legal low-lives—impugned a client they have yet to meet in person, and announced to the world they would no longer represent a man who, rumor says, has yet to hire them.
Never seek the services of Hal Uhrig and Craig Sonner; they’re unethical and should probably be disbarred.
Kudos to Natalie Jackson, an attorney for the (Treyvon) Martin family, who condemned this kind of conduct:
“These attorneys continue to make irresponsible statement to the media,’ [and] “now they have throw their own client, George Zimmerman, under the bus by alluding to his possible flight from justice.”
Increasingly—and where they see the opportunity—members of the legal system put media appearances and promotion before the case and the client.
UPDATE (April 11): Florida Special Prosecutor Angela Corey will kick off her publicity campaign with a press conference scheduled for 6:00 p.m. ET in Jacksonville, Fla.
Now it is indeed possible that charging George Zimmerman (will it be man slaughter?), as Corey intends to, in the killing of Treyvon Martin is the right thing to do. Still and all, when the Special prosecutor Corey dismissed the Grand-Jury option, yesterday, it occurred to me then that, like her colleagues discussed in the post above—who’re dancing on a defendant’s grave—we were witnessing a publicity stunt. Or a political move, since state attorneys are always looking for a leg up to the Beltway.
George Zimmerman should have allowed Trayvon Martin to go ahead and beat his brains out and then said “thank you” just before he died. Then everybody would be happy and this unfortunate incident would not have even made it in the newspaper. He’s certainly not going to get fair representation from the legal profession.
[I love it when your sense of the ridiculous kicks in.]
Legal bottom feeders. I remember when Monica Lewinsky had a PR-hound attorney.
If they were truly representing Zimmerman, they should be ethically bound not to embarrass or compromise him (even if they cease to represent him). e.g. “no comment”.
It is interesting how Derbyshire who has not issued threats to people or incited riots is cast out of any semblance of “civilization” while Reverend Al Sharpton has his own TV program…. that is Reverend Al of Tawana Brawley and Freddie’s Fashion Mart and Crown Heights Riot fame.
A routine shooter tragedy gets elevated into a Civil War by the likes of Sharpton.

Judging by the manner in which she grinned like a schoolgirl throughout her presser, it would seem you were absolutely correct.
My god, she acted like she was accepting an Oscar for Best Cinematography. I was half-expecting to hear orchestral music around the time she finally announced that Zimmerman would be charged with second degree murder.
