George Zimmerman discussed his feelings about the Trayvon Martin case in an interview with his attorney.

George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watchman who killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin three years ago in a case that captivated the country, lashed out at the president, the federal government, Florida police and the media in an interview released this month in which he also invoked Anne Frank.

(Yes, Anne Frank.)

In the March 8 Q&A with his attorney, which was posted on the law firm's website, Zimmerman saved his harshest criticism for the president, whom he referred to as Barack Hussein Obama."

He said the president inflamed racial tensions when he stated in a Rose Garden speech that "If I had a son he would look like Trayvon."

Zimmerman told lawyer Howard Iken: To me that was clearly a dereliction of duty pitting Americans against each other solely based on race, in what should have been a clear-cut self-defense matter."

Zimmerman was found not guilty in the 2012 shooting. To see his interview scroll to the end for a transcript click here.

Unfortunately for the president, Im also my parents child and my life matters as well," Zimmerman said. He added that, in asking for an investigation, the president "overreached, even broke the law in certain aspects ." He didn't elaborate.

Zimmerman, now 31, said he did the interview now because he felt he could speak without fear of retaliation after the Department of Justice found last month there was insufficient evidence to pursue civil rights charges against him.
