• With: George Zimmerman, Mark O'Mara

    HANNITY: I was asking you for an interview?

    ZIMMERMAN: Yes, sir.

    HANNITY: There was a report suggesting that I offered to pay your legal fees.

    ZIMMERMAN: Never happened.

    HANNITY: Never happened.

    ZIMMERMAN: No, sir.

    HANNITY: And just for the record, you have been offered nothing to do this interview?

    ZIMMERMAN: Not a thing.

    HANNITY: And what we talked about specifically was about your case and only about your case, and that's it? And I was asking you for an interview. You had told me that you were alone in a hotel room, hadn't talked to your family in weeks, your aunt, didn't have an attorney at that point and that was leading up to your arrest.

    ZIMMERMAN: Yes, sir.

    HANNITY: Do you remember that moment?

    ZIMMERMAN: Yes, sir.

    HANNITY: Where were you mentally then? Because when I was talking to you, I was concerned.

    ZIMMERMAN: So was I. I was at a position where I was talking daily to one state police officer that had legitimate concerns for my safety. My wife, I asked her to stay in Florida, I was out of state.

    HANNITY: You stayed out of contact? You were afraid to even bring your dad in and he had recently been sick.

    ZIMMERMAN: Yes, sir. He had had a heart attack about two weeks prior to the incident. But I asked my wife to stay in Florida and to continue her nursing education. She was about a week away from finishing when I drove to Jacksonville and turned myself in.

    HANNITY: There was a bounty put on your head by the new Black Panther party, wanted dead or alive.

    ZIMMERMAN: Yes, sir.

    HANNITY: Nobody has been arrested.

    ZIMMERMAN: Yes, sir.

    HANNITY: Do you feel your life is in jeopardy?

    ZIMMERMAN: Yes, sir.

    HANNITY: By the Black Panther Party?

    ZIMMERMAN: Amongst others, yes, sir.

    HANNITY: And you've had multiple death threats?

    ZIMMERMAN: Yes, sir.

    HANNITY: You know, look at what happened in this case because it became so public. Spike Lee is tweeting out what he thinks is your home address, the Reverend Al Sharpton and NBC News tries to use this case to bring up the issue of racial profiling.

    What do you say to Spike Lee? Didn't know the facts of the case, they hadn't been revealed, what do you say to Al Sharpton and those who rushed to judgment? What do you think their motives were?

    ZIMMERMAN: I can't guess what their motives are. I would just ask for an apology. I mean, if I did something that was wrong, I would apologize.

    HANNITY: And coming up, I asked George Zimmerman about witness number nine, a relative who claims that Zimmerman molested her when they were children. Also, what is his message to Trayvon's parents? That's coming up straight ahead.

    (COMMERCIAL BREAK)

    HANNITY: We continue now with our exclusive sit-down interview with George Zimmerman and his attorney, Mark O'Mara.

    There is this witness number nine, this recently came out and witness number nine suggested that you and your family from a young age had racist views.

    And then that was one statement that was originally made, and that then became that from the time this woman was six until she was nineteen, that you had molested her.

    ZIMMERMAN: I think that it's actually fortunate that the FBI did get involved, of all people, to investigate a crime. I mean, it's the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and they cleared me of any racial profiling, racial wrongdoing.

    And I think that, frankly, it's ironic that the same -- the only person that they found that could say anything about me being remotely racist, and again, she didn't state that I said anything racist.ZIMMERMAN: I think that it's actually fortunate that the FBI did get involved, of all people, to investigate a crime.

    She didn't even state that I was in the same room when anything racist was said, but it is ironic that the person, the one and only person that they could find that says anything remotely to me being a racist also happens to be the person that claims I'm deviant.

    HANNITY: Do you have any comments about witness number nine?

    MARK O'MARA, GEORGE ZIMMERMAN'S ATTORNEY: You know, I don't know that they were going to take the time, effort, resources to focus on that since I think it's going to be a nonissue in the trial and quite honestly I don't know that we want to be in a position of now focusing on attacking a cousin who has made whatever allegations she's made that's probably will never see the light of day in the courtroom.

    HANNITY: What about Detective -- Serino's report where he suggests that George be charged with manslaughter, not second-degree murder? Do you believe that the second-degree murder charge was an overcharge?
