"I believe in the judicial system," says Gladys Zimmerman, George Zimmerman's Mother. "I believe from the beginning that, you know, he is innocent, and I mean, the media had played a big role against my son. They had portrayed him in a bad -- bad picture. But there is justice in America, and I believe in justice."

Zimmerman's attorneys are also asking to delay the trial proceedings.

They say they have as many as 75 more witness depositions to complete before they're ready to go to trial.
