The brother of the man who shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last year is now embroiled in some controversy of his own. Robert Zimmerman recently sent a series of tweets that many found controversial or even racist.

Zimmerman posted side-by-side images of Martin and De'Marquise Elkins, one of the teens arrested in the shooting of a baby in Florida, giving the middle finger, with the caption, "A picture speaks a thousand words: Any questions?"

George Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara joins Starting Point this morning to discuss the outrage over his client's brothers tweets.

"I’m not sure where his heart was but I’ve always said that we have to have a conversation about race and the Zimmerman case has brought it to the forefront, particularly the way young black males are treated in the system," O'Mara says. "These types of tweets, these types of comments were insensitive to that and quite honestly were the opposite of what I hope the conversation would be to try to figure out what’s wrong with the system and a good way to fix it."

When asked whether or not he's concerned about Robert Zimmerman's comments affecting his case, O'Mara responds "absolutely."

"Quite honestly, I worry about everything and how it may affect the case. Everything that happens in this case is, if not overblown, hyper focused upon so that everything George says or does is important. Certainly, when a family member for my client says something that comes across as wholly insensitive if not much, much worse then it’s going to have an effect and we’re going to have to deal with it" O'Mara explains.

George Zimmerman's brother Robert is facing a major backlash over controversial tweets he sent comparing Trayvon Martin to De'Marquise Elkins, one of the teens arrested in the shooting of a baby in Florida.

In one tweet, Zimmerman writes that the liberal media should "ask if what these [two] black teens did [to] a woman&baby is the reason [people] think blacks might be risky."

Zimmerman has apologized, saying that he was simply trying to generate discussion about the media and it's portrayal of his brother and Trayvon Martin.

Trayvon Martin's family attorney Benjamin Crump discusses Robert Zimmerman's tweets on Starting Point this morning and comments on the content of an interview from "witness 9," revealed to be a cousin of George Zimmerman.

In the interview, Zimmerman's cousin says, "growing up, they've always made - him and his family have always made statements that they don't like black people, if they don't act like white people.  They like black people, if they act white.  And other than that, they talk a lot of bad things about black people."

Crump discusses Robert Zimmerman's tweets in relation to the interview from "witness 9," saying, "within 72 hours after Trayvon was murdered, she called the Sanford police department to say that she knows George Zimmerman, she knows he’s confrontational, she knows he doesn't like black people. She went on farther to say that his brother, mother, sister and father don’t like black people. So when you look at these tweets of Robert Zimmerman... he didn't say Trayvon Martin, he said blacks, meaning the entire black race, that tweet tends to be very consistent in supporting what his cousin said when she first called the Sanford police department."

Criminal defense attorney Anne Bremner on George Zimmerman's first interview & breaks down the conflicts in his claims.

Trayvon Martin's parents Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, along with attorney Ben Crump, react to George Zimmerman's interview with FOX News's Sean Hannity.

"My first thought was that I wish that Trayvon was here to tell his side of the story," Sybrina Fulton tells Soledad. "We're just hearing one side of what actually happened."

Family attorney Ben Crump says the FOX interview will be 'a gift' to the prosecution in the case.

"I think George Zimmerman's credibility is at issue," Crump says. "Everybody in America like the judge has said his credibility is completely in question."

CNN contributor Mark NeJame on how George Zimmerman's wife's statements in court could determine if he is granted bond.

George Zimmerman, the man who shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, is waking up inside a jail cell this morning after surrendering to police on Sunday just a few days after a Florida judge revoked his bond.

At the initial hearing back in April, Zimmerman and his wife told the court they had limited funds to pay for a bond. But a website set up to take defense donations had actually collected more than $130,000.

Prosecutors say the Zimmermans were well-aware of how much money he had at the time, and may have even secretly tried to shift between accounts before the hearing.

Trayvon Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump responds to Zimmerman's bail being revoked on "Starting Point" and says Trayvon's parents have only asked for equal justice.

"A lie is a lie," Crump says. "If Trayvon Martin would have lied to the court, we believe he would not be given a bond. He would have to sit in jail until his trial."
