O’Mara, through gzlegalcase.com, said that the page did belong to Zimmerman but was hacked after he abandoned it. According to O’Mara:
A Myspace page that belonged to George Zimmerman in 2005 has been brought to light, and some of the contents of his page have been scrutinized in a Miami Herald article entitled “George Zimmerman’s crude Myspace page from 2005 uncovered.” The O’Mara Law Group has confirmed this page did belong to Mr. Zimmerman, though it was hacked into, and George abandoned it. The identified posts were his.
O’Mara went on to say that while many of the social media accounts may be public, his law group will not comment on them publicly, as they may be part of the evidence produced at trial.
According to gzlegalcase.com:
The article details a number of statements that will cast Mr. Zimmerman in a less-than-favorable light especially considering the charges he faces.
In that regard, it is possible that the statements Mr. Zimmerman made could be used as part of the trial, and therefore it is our policy not to comment directly on items that could become evidence.
Frances Robles, the Miami Herald reporter that broke the story tweeted “Crump tells me #Zimmerman’s anti-Mexican comments on MySpace show ‘a pattern of profiling.’”
We believe that inviting public scrutiny of the contents of this social media account invites scrutiny of the social media accounts of all parties involved.
While these social media accounts may be public, we will not comment on them publicly, as they may be part of the evidence produced at trial.
The MySpace page uncovered from 2005 shows Zimmerman with his friends and family.
