>>> one outraged response from trayvon martin 's family to the first public interview with the accused shooter of trayvon. sitting with his attorney on fox newschannel's hannity. george zimmerman said he had no regrets about how he behaved on the night he allegedly shot the teen. he then offered an apology to martin 's family and the country.
>> do you regret getting out of the car to follow trayvon that night?
>> no, sir.
>> do you regret that you had a gun that night?
>> no, sir. i feel it was all god's plan and for me to second-guess it or judge it --
>> is there anything you might do differently in retrospect now that time has passed a little bit?
>> no, sir. but i'm sorry that this happened. i hate to think that because of this incident, because of my actions, it's polarized and divided america, and i'm truly sorry.
>> in a family statement, trayvon's father, tracy, said we must worship a different god because there is no way that my god would have want the george zimmerman to kill my son. darryl parks is one of the attorneys representing the family of trayvon martin . he joins us now. after seeing that interview and i'm sure that you along with mr. crump and the family have watched that. what is the overall reaction to the interview and the way that george zimmerman discussed that evening where trayvon martin lost his life?
>> we are appalled. at the end of the day , as you listen to the whole interview, george zimmerman never really takes full responsibility for his actions. so it's as if he believes that he had the right to follow trayvon, to stalk trayvon and that trayvon didn't have the right to be where he was. he doesn't have any regrets. takes no responsibilities for his actions. we're very appalled by that.
>> during one exchange, hannity suggested that zimmerman 's account of trayvon martin 's behavior, from what he told police dispatchers, take a listen to this.
>> tried to maybe get in the mind-set. we've learned that trayvon was speaking to his girlfriend supposedly at the time, maybe he was afraid of you, didn't know who you were?
>> no.
>> why do you think that he was running then?
>> maybe i said running. but he was more --
>> you said he was running.
>> yes. like skipping, going away quickly. but that he wasn't running out of fear.
>> you could tell the difference?
>> he wasn't running.
>> he wasn't actually running?
>> no, sir.
>> because that's what you said to the dispatcher. you thought he was running.
>> sir, what are your thoughts on that and the type of contradiction that it allows for what we know from the police records so favre the case?
>> well, it defies logic. also, remember trayvon is not from this particular complex. if you're a kid, you're walking home at night from the store and you see a guy who is driving looking at you, you should be scared. so for him to say that trayvon was not afraid, how does he know that? he has no way of knowing whether trayvon was afraid or not. common sense tells us if some person is watching you while you're walking, if he's in a vehicle, he has to go at a slower rate of speed to see a person who is walking. at the end of the day , we really think that most people will see this for what it really is. it's a chance by them to try and do some damage control from the other evidence that happened earlier in this week.
>> legally speaking, are there concerns that you have about how the content of this interview might affect the martin family's case.
>> i think it's great for the prosecution. i mean, to get an interview like this here where he says many, many different statement that's going to allow him to be cross-examined by the prosecutors, my law partner said it best. they have plenty more to work with. they had plenty before but now they have a gift today.
>> martin family attorney, darryl parks, appreciate your time.
>>> thank you.
