Zimmerman Lawyer Joins CNN

Marak O'Mara makes debut on CNN as Legal Analyst
  Attorney Mark O’Mara is prepared to step into the spotlight without his famous client, the troublesome George Zimmerman.  The Florida criminal defense attorney made his debut on CNN this week.  “New Day” host Chris Cuomo introduced him as CNN Legal Analyst Mark O’Mara and an expert attorney on Florida’s Stand Your Ground Laws.  The controversial self defense laws have been under extra media attention as of late.  O’Mara is an excellent choice to a be media analyst during this time.  In addition to his expertise, he is very comfortable with the media and gave several television interviews during George Zimmerman’s high profile trial.  He was also a local media analyst in Florida during the Casey Anthony trial.

  O’Mara wrote in a blog post on September 6:

  “This morning I appeared on CNN’s New Day program to offer some insights to a potential “stand your ground” case here in Florida. Many noticed that host Chris Cuomo introduced me as CNN’s newest legal analyst, and it’s true: as of today, I’ll be appearing regularly on CNN to offer my insight on a number of high-profile legal matters.”

  O’Mara continued to say that while he has been critical of the press in the past, he has decided that taking this position will help him be “part of the solution”.  His post goes on to discuss how it is important to keep a debate going for the issues that make Americans upset.

  As of this week, Mark O’Mara is no longer representing George Zimmerman in his recent legal troubles.  Police came to Zimmerman’s home on September 9th to investigate a domestic dispute involving his estranged wife.  Clearly, the now high profile attorney is looking toward his own future as a media figure.
