Thursday morning, Sybrina Fulton appeared on NBC’s TODAY show, saying: “I believe it was an accident. I believe that it just got out of control and he couldn’t turn the clock back.”

A few hours after drawing criticism for the statement, a spokesperson for the family emailed a new statement to MSNBC TV saying that Fulton’s comments were “mischaracterized.”

“When I referenced the word ‘accident’ today with regard to Trayvon’s death, in NO way did I mean the shooting was an accident,” said Fulton. “My son was profiled, followed and murdered by George Zimmerman, and there was nothing accidental about that.”

She then went on to say that the only part of the entire incident that was an “accident” was the fact that her son and Zimmerman crossed paths to begin with.
