Al Sharpton Grills George Zimmerman’s Attorney In Long, Contentious Interview | Mediaite

-Sharpton grilled O’Mara on a few points that Zimmerman’s team has used to argue self-defense
-Sharpton asked O’Mara how Zimmerman can plead self-defense if, as heard in the 911 tape, he was actively
pursuing Martin, contrary to the advice of the operator.
-Sharpton played another 911 call with screaming in the background, saying that both a number of experts have said the voice belongs to Martin.
-Sharpton brought up how Zimmerman was initially let go by the police on the night of Martin’s death, asking O’Mara if
that was the right decision.
-O’Mara also defended the release of unflattering photos of Martin in preparation for the upcoming trial, explaining that
both sides give each other all this unfiltered material ahead of time in order to filter out what isn’t allowed in court and
what will be permitted.

Probably one of the greatest interviews of all time.
 
I don't give Sharpton much credit of knowing anything. The Brawley fisco comes to mind.

Still watching, but poor Sharpton. He's arguing from an emotional POV, while Omara is arguing from the point of law. They should have had someone more knoweldgeable in the law and not so closely attached to this case interview Omara.

Knoweldgeable? Poor Sharpton? He was knoweldgeable enough to get his own National TV show, hardly poor.

Hardly.

Everyone could see Sharpton was telling lies.

Fisco?

Sharpton knows how to get his own National TV show. Can you say the same?

So I can't type. Fiasco.

No I don't have a TV show. Amazing even race baiters have a following.

So do you concern or not that Sharpton was out of line and wrong on the Brawley case.

I was six/seven years old in 1987/1988, don't remember that case at all.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tawana_Brawley_rape_allegations

Brawley initially received considerable support from the African-American community.[4] Some scholars suggested that Brawley was victimized by biased reporting that adhered to racial stereotypes.[5][6] The mainstream media's coverage drew heated criticism from the African-American press and leaders for its treatment of the teenager.[7] The grand jury's conclusions decreased support for Brawley and her advisers. Brawley's family has maintained that the allegations were true.

What was Sharpton's involvement?

I'm trying to figure out what being knowledgeable enough to get a tv show has to do with being knowledgeable in the law he is interested in discussing.

Sharpton had no idea, looked completely out of place and simply argued from an emotional perspective.

Google it. Sharpton helped esculate racial tensions. He lost a law suit over the incident. Never appologized nor did he pay up on the law suit. Someone paid for him. He is a racist, imo.

A quarter-century later after he whipped up racial tensions over the incendiary case, Sharpton still stands by a story that the courts of law and public opinion long ago ruled a hoax.
Pressed on CBS' "60 Minutes" to explain why he never apologized for accusations that proved false, Sharpton said, "I don't know that."
"I have thought about that a million times," Sharpton said. "I just don't believe they treated that case fair."
Back in 1987, 15-year-old Brawley claimed she had been abducted and raped for four days by a group of white men, at least one a cop. She was found in a garbage bag, covered in feces and charcoal-scrawled racial epithets.
Sharpton, a brash young activist and minister, took over publicity for Brawley and made inflammatory accusations of a massive cover up, naming an assistant district attorney as one of the rapists.
The case fell apart when the grand jury refused to indict, citing no physical evidence of rape and witnesses who saw Brawley when she was supposed to have been held captive.

Twenty-Five Years Later, Tawana Brawley Tracked Down In Virginia And Hit With Roughly $500,000 Bill | JONATHAN TURLEY
In 1987, Sharpton made himself a national figure when he organized protests after Brawley was found inside a plastic bag behind an apartment house in Wappingers Falls, N.Y. She was covered with feces and racial epithets smeared on her body and accused various white men, including Steven A. Pagones, a former Dutchess County assistant district attorney. Sharpton attacked Pagones and the other men with Ms. Brawley’s lawyers, Alton H. Maddox Jr. and C. Vernon Mason.
A grand jury eventually found that the account was a hoax and Pagones successfully sued Sharpton, Maddox, Mason and Brawley. Sharpton has never apologized for his role and failed to pay the damages until various businessmen came forward to pay the damages for him in 2001.

Okay? So this woman Brawley may have lied to everyone? And that makes Al a racist? I don't get it.

I have seen enough of your posts and comments to know you project emotions onto others, like you did to my Al.

He argued with facts and reason, nothing more.

Detach your heart from this case, it is making you too emotional.

Absolutely ridiculous hyperbole

You fool no one... but yourself

Do a search on Sharpton. As I stated it is my opinion.

It was his support and accusing whites of the crime. His track record speaks for itself

"Duke Lacrosse Scandal – In a similar case to Brawley, a young black stripper claimed she was raped at a party by Duke University lacrosse players in the spring of 2006. Never one to be deterred by past experiences, Sharpton heroically mounted his race-baiting horse, declaring on national television that there were “certainly a lot of racial factors,” and “racism that’s in the air” involving the Duke players. After the allegations again proved to be fabricated, Sharpton was actually called out by Whoopi Goldberg on The View. Goldberg called upon Sharpton (alas, to no avail) to apologize for slandering the Duke players.

Regardless... They should have had a lawyer that is knowledgable on the FL law that is just as on the side of Trayvon as Sharpton is. It would have been a much better interview.

Sharpton didn't even realize that the police, under FL laws, were not able to arrest Zimmerman at that time. He just felt an arrest should be made, and had no idea what the law actually states.

Unfortunately, because of racial tensions that Sharpton himself agitates. For the most part that interview had to be like that. O'Mara was smart enough to know how to answer him.
Pretend to agree and then switch it up at the end. Sharpton was not intelligent enough to catch on.

Otherwise that interview would have really gone nowhere had O'Mara just corrected everything Sharpton said
