George Zimmerman was front and center on national television Wednesday night.

In a broadcast that aired on the Fox News Channel, Zimmerman recounted what happened the night he fatally shot Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman was asked what, if anything, he would have done differently that night and he said no.

He still would have gotten out of his car, still would have followed Trayvon Martin, and he told Fox News host Sean Hannity it was part of God's plan, and it wasn't for him to second-guess how it all played out.

George Zimmerman said he hasn't been home since leaving on a routine trip to Target that ended with Trayvon Martin's death.

Zimmerman was asked why Martin appeared suspicious.

“I was on the phone, but I was certain I could see him saying something to me and his demeanor, his body language was confrontational,” said Zimmerman.

One of the most controversial parts of the story had to do with the police operator who told Zimmerman not to follow Trayvon Martin.

Dispatcher asked you ‘are you following him’ and you said ‘yes.’ Explain that,” asked Hannity.

“I meant I was going in the same direction as him to keep an eye on him so I could tell the police where he was going. I didnt mean I was actually pursuing him,” answered Zimmerman.

When asked about the screams on the 911 call from a neighbor, Zimmerman said it was him.

He said Martin jumped on top of him and hit him close to a dozen times.

“He bashed my head into the sidewalk and I immediately began yelling for help, which is where the lacerations came from. Yes sir,” said Zimmerman.

George Zimmerman said he would tell Trayvon Martin's parents: "I'm sorry," and said he is open to talking with them.

"I do want to tell everyone, my wife, my family, my parents, my grandmother, the Martins, the city of Sanford, and America that I'm sorry that this happened," said Zimmerman.

It’s not surprising that FOX News host Sean Hannity was the one to land Zimmerman’s first television interview.

Zimmerman actually called Hannity back in April before he was charged and the two had an off-the-record conversation.

Hannity also interviewed Zimmerman's father on his program back in April.

Independent sources say that ABC's Barbara Walters may be next in line to sit down with Zimmerman.
