George Zimmerman, acquitted of criminal charges in the 2012 Florida shooting death of African-American teen Trayvon Martin, says he has a clear conscience and that President Obama sought to provoke racial conflict over the high-profile incident.
In a video interview posted to his lawyers website on Monday, Zimmerman says, President Obama held his Rose Garden speech stating If I had a son he would look like Trayvon. To me that was clearly a dereliction of duty pitting Americans against each other solely based on race.
Zimmerman also says he does not feel guilty about the incident because, he maintains, he did what he needed to do to survive.
Had I had a fraction of the thought that I could have done something differently, acted differently so that both of us survived, then I would have heavier weight on my shoulders. In all fairness, you cannot as a human feel guilty for living, for surviving.
The Department of Justice said last month that no civil rights charges would be filed against against Zimmerman.
The interview was recorded on March 8 by his attorney Howard Iken.

George Zimmerman Accuses President Obama of Inciting Racial Tension
Trayvon Martins killer, George Zimmerman, released a video Monday in which he claims President Obama stoked racial tension and used incendiary language following the 2012 Florida shooting.
Zimmerman, 31, a white man acquitted based on the controversial stand your ground defense, said he now feels free to speak without fear of retaliation because federal prosecutors decided not to press civil-rights charges against him last month in the death of the unarmed black 17-year-old in Sanford, Fla.
Now is the perfect time to speak my mind, Zimmerman said.
President Obama held his Rose Garden speech stating, If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon. Unfortunately for the president, Im also my parents child and my life matters as well.
Zimmerman was an armed neighborhood watchman in his gated community who approached Martin as the teen walked back home from a store.
He claimed that Obama pitted Americans against each other by making racially charged comments about the incident.
For him to make incendiary comments as he did and direct the Department of Justice to pursue a baseless prosecution, he . . . overstretched, overreached, Zimmerman said.
