George Zimmerman sat down with Sean Hannity from Fox News in an exclusive interview where he candidly talked about his account on what happened the fateful night unarmed Trayvon Martin was killed.

Sean Hannity went down to Seminole County, FL to sit down with Zimmerman alongside his attorney Mark O’Mara. Hannity began the interview asking Zimmerman how he felt about the situation:

“I think it’s a tragic situation. I hope it’s the most difficult thing I’ll ever go through in my life. Looking back on shooting: I haven’t really had the time to reflect on it… tragic situation.”

But when asked did he have any regrets, the neighborhood watch volunteer said no regrets, it was in God’s plan.

“It was all God’s plan.” He also said there isn’t anything he would do differently in retrospect.

When Hannity asked about the moment the gun came out Zimmerman said-

“It wasn’t my gun, it wasn’t his gun. It was THE gun.”

When asked if he is a racist, Zimmerman said “I’m not a racist and I’m not a murderer.”

On what he would tell Trayvon’s Parents:

Zimmerman: “I would tell them again, I’m sorry…I am sorry that they buried their child….I pray for them daily.”

On Hannity offering to pay for Zimmerman’s legal fees:

Zimmerman: Sean Hannity didn’t offer to pay legal fees, didn’t pay for interview. “Never happened.”

Zimmerman on claims of racism, molestation from “Witness 9”-

“I think that I’m actually fortunate that the FBI did get involved…”

Other points from the interview:
Zimmerman on Trayvon reaching for his waistband- “I thought he was just trying to intimidate me.”

Zimmerman said he said “punks” on the 911 call. “It was clear as day.”

Zimmerman said after he was told not to follow Trayvon he – “walked to meet police officer at his street Retreat View Circle” Going on to say that he didn’t follow Trayvon.

Zimmerman: “As soon as he broke my nose, I started yelling for help…starting slamming head into the concrete.”

Zimmerman: Trayvon Martin “was straddled on me with his full weight and I would try to sit up and push myself down.”

Zimmerman “I was absolutely the one yelling for help.”

Zimmerman: “I’m not a racist and I’m not a murderer.”

Hannity: “Do you regret getting out of the car that night?” Zimmerman”No sir…I feel it was all God’s plan.”

Zimmerman to Trayvon’s parents “I would tell them again, I’m sorry…I am sorry that they buried their child….I pray for them daily.”

Zimmerman: “I think people assumed I was white, because of my last name…English was my second language.”

Zimmerman changes his tune at the end: “I hate to think that my actions have polarized America and I am truly sorry.”

At the end of the interview Zimmerman addressed the nation and said:

“I do want to tell everyone my wife, my famiy, Martin’s …I’m sorry…I hate to think that my actions have polarized America and I am truly sorry.”
