Zimmerman's Lawyer Apologizes For False Evidence

[Truthseeker420]

Attorneys for George Zimmerman apologized Sunday for mischaracterizing evidence they said boosted their theory that Trayvon Martin was the aggressor in his fatal meeting with their client last year.

Lawyer Mark O’Mara said during a hearing last Tuesday that the defense had obtained video footage of three fights, including one in which he said two of Martin’s friends "were beating up a homeless guy."

But Zimmerman's defense team corrected that statement on Sunday, saying O'Mara had unintentionally "misstated the nature" of the footage.
In a statement posted on Zimmerman’s website, the defense lawyers said the footage actually showed "two homeless guys fighting each other over a bike."
A Florida judged ruled Tuesday that Zimmerman’s lawyers cannot mention Martin’s suspension from school, prior marijuana use, text message exchanges or past fighting in opening statements when the trial begins on June 10.

If he knowingly filed false evidence can't he be disbarred..?

He didn't "file" false evidence, he incorrectly described the contents of the video. Big difference. Neither he or members of his defense team nor any third party created the video through the use of actors, that would be creating false evidence.

He mischaracterized what was in the evidence, but that is easily attributed to the fact that he was making impromptu remarks before the court with no jury present.

Disbarred? Probably not.

Verbal reprimand or some other court sanction? Maybe, but that depends on Judge Nelson and how he proceeds. If he admits his mistake directly to the court in a filing or simply apologizes during the next hearing and corrects himself as to actual content - that will be the end of it.
