George Zimmerman Discusses Confrontation With Trayvon Martin On Hannity (Part 2)

In the second part of the interview, Hannity asked Zimmerman about the “minute gap” following the instructions from dispatch that following Martin wasn’t necessary. Zimmerman denied continuing to follow Martin, but said he ran into Martin roughly 30 seconds later. He explained that Martin confronted him about what his “problem was,” and when Zimmerman went to grab his phone, Martin ran up and punched him in the nose. 

 Zimmerman said Martin then bashed his head into the sidewalk, and at that point he was yelling for help. He told Hannity that Martin was cursing at him, telling him to shut up, and even saying “he would kill me” as the beating took place. Zimmerman said the screaming recorded on a 911 call was him as he was being beaten. Hannity asked ZImmerman about what was going through his mind when he reached for his gun to defend himself. Zimmerman said “it happened so quickly” that he can’t remember his thought process at the time.
