| After fatally shooting Trayvon Martin, Florida community watch captain George Zimmerman "couldn't stop crying,'' according to a family friend who spoke with him Saturday. "After this started -- the reports I got -- [Zimmerman] couldn't stop crying,'' Joe Oliver told "Good Morning America" today. Oliver, who described himself as a close friend of the family, said Zimmerman has gone into hiding, fears for his life, and is "just now becoming aware of how big this has gotten." Oliver, who has known Zimmerman for six years, said he has been in regular contact with members of Zimmerman's family, who have briefed him on Zimmerman's day-to-day reactions as the case has grown into a national referendum on race, gun laws and criminal justice. On Saturday, the militant New Black Panther Party offered a $10000 bounty for Zimmerman's "capture." For more on this story, click here: abcnews.go.com |
