A statement posted to Zimmerman’s legal defense website on Sunday said:
During the Tuesday, May 28th hearing, Mr. O’Mara misstated the nature of video from Trayvon Martin’s cell phone which was included in the Defendant’s 3rd Supplemental Discovery. He stated that the video showed “two buddies of his beating up a homeless guy,” when what happened was Trayvon Martin, along with a buddy, was videotaping two homeless guys fighting each other over a bike. Though it was unintentional, it is a particular concern to us because we are and have been committed to disputing misinformation in every aspect of this case, not causing it. For that, Mr. O’Mara apologizes.
Stills from the video and a description of the contents were included in a story for the Orlando Sentinel’s website Sunday, which was taken down by the site after a reporter for the paper said a web producer accidentally posted it. According to the Sentinel, O’Mara released his statement and “decided against posting the video” after readers to the Orlando Sentinel site found a cached version of the story.
