At Comic-Con, Jamie Foxx addresses Zimmerman verdict, says he backs Trayvon Martin’s mom
SAN DIEGO – Jamie Foxx says he’s backing Trayvon Martin’s mother “forever.”
Hours after President Barack Obama delivered remarks about Trayvon Martin and the George Zimmerman trial on Friday, Foxx addressed the racially charged case at Comic-Con in San Diego.
Foxx was at the massive pop culture convention to promote his role as the villain Electro in “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” Holding his 4-year-old daughter Annalise, who wore a Spider-Man backpack and shoes, Foxx said he was “disappointed” in the July 13 not guilty verdict in Florida.
He had been among the most vocal celebrities expressing support for Martin’s family, having met the teen’s mother Sybrina Fulton at an awards show.
Foxx said in an interview: “I stand with her forever.”
