HE TOLD HANNITY HE HAD TO SHOOT MARTIN -- WHEN HE WENT FOR HIS GUN.

ZIMMERMAN ALSO APOLOGIZED TO MARTIN'S FAMILY -- BUT SAID HE DOESN'T REGRET GETTING OUT OF HIS CAR TO FOLLOW MARTIN OR HAVING A GUN THAT NIGHT.
Zimmmeran: I am sorry that they buried their child. I can't imagine what it must feel like. And I pray for them daily.
Hannity: Is there anything you might do differently in retrospect now that time has passed a little bit? Zimmerman: No sir.
Zimmerman: I feel it was all God's plan - and for me to second guess it or judge it.

Today's Weather Story
THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
After a wet start to the week, our weather pattern is drying out and heating up.
The upper level low that brought us the soggy rains continues to weaken across the southeast states today with the rain focused across central and north Florida. Skies will start off mostly clear with most locations in the middle and upper 70s.
The tropical airmass that has been entrenched across the area will be replaced by dry high pressure building in from the Atlantic along with Saharan dust. This will bring hot, hazy, and humid conditions to Southwest Florida for Thursday and Friday, while keeping rain chances to a minimum. With the seabreeze making its way in this afternoon, a stray afternoon/evening shower is possible otherwise the vast majority of the area will stay dry. Temperatures will soar into the mid 90s with heat index values in the 101°-105° range.
Moisture will return for the weekend, bringing our typical rainy season pattern back with dry mornings and afternoon storms.

FLORIDA'S TOP EDUCATION LEADER TALKING ALL THINGS EDUCATION AT HIS FIRST COMMUNITY FORUM IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.
A GROUP OF ABOUT 50 CAME TO HEAR EDUCATION COMMISSIONER - GERARD ROBINSON - AT EDISON STATE COLLEGE'S LEE CAMPUS.
THE STATE'S STANDARDIZED TEST, THE F-CAT, WAS ONE OF THE TOP SUBJECTS AFTER MONTHS OF CONCERN OVER HIGHER STANDARDS.
AND RECENTLY, LEE COUNTY'S DISTRICT GRADE DROPPED FROM AN 'A' TO A 'B'.
BUT ROBINSON SAYS IT'S PART OF THE GROWING PAINS WHEN RAISING THE BAR IN EDUCATION.

The real goal is we raise the standards and in Florida when we raise the standards we always see a decline, and then we see an increase in a few years.
IN TWO YEARS, THE FCAT WILL NO LONGER EXIST AND THERE WILL BE A TOUGHER EXAM THAT WILL COMPARE FLORIDA STUDENTS TO THE REST OF THE COUNTRY.
ROBINSON SAYS RAISING STANDARDS NOW WILL HELP STUDENTS DO WELL LATER.

Full Forecast
THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
After a wet start to the week, our weather pattern is drying out and heating up.
The upper level low that brought us the soggy rains continues to weaken across the southeast states today with the rain focused across central and north Florida. Skies will start off mostly clear with most locations in the middle and upper 70s.
The tropical airmass that has been entrenched across the area will be replaced by dry high pressure building in from the Atlantic along with Saharan dust. This will bring hot, hazy, and humid conditions to Southwest Florida for Thursday and Friday, while keeping rain chances to a minimum. With the seabreeze making its way in this afternoon, a stray afternoon/evening shower is possible otherwise the vast majority of the area will stay dry. Temperatures will soar into the mid 90s with heat index values in the 101°-105° range.
Moisture will return for the weekend, bringing our typical rainy season pattern back with dry mornings and afternoon storms.
