Now that family was supposed to speak this afternoon at the office of Zimmerman's attorneys, but they canceled that public appearance.
Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara explained why:
"I think what happened today, was they were very worried and I think were advised my some family and friends that they should really not get involved with anything having to do with George Zimmerman," O'Mara told reporters.
