Family Rescued by George Zimmerman Cancels Appearance Fearing 'Blow Back'

ABC News:

The family rescued by George Zimmerman when they were trapped in an overturned SUV canceled a scheduled news conference today and is pleading for privacy.

 

Zimmerman was one of two men who came to the aid of Dana and Mark Gerstle and their two children, who were trapped inside a blue Ford Explorer SUV that had rolled over after traveling off the highway in Sanford, Fla., about 5:45 p.m. Thursday, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

 

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.

 

"They have expressed to us that they are not comfortable doing media interviews at this time and they continue to ask for privacy," the Seminole City Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

 

Zimmerman's lawyer, Mark O'Mara, said the family had asked to speak, but then got concerned about the anger surrounding the controversial verdict.

This pisses me off. And if I sound a little grouchy it's because Obama made a long irritating speech today.

I can appreciate how you feel, but.....did you see Trey Gowdy on Greta tonight. He took Obama to the woodshed on the 'phony scandals'. Can't find a clip of it now but it is sure to appear soon somewhere on the innertubes. Priceless.
