After George Zimmerman was found not guilty of all charges on Saturday evening, an Associated Press reporter, Cristina Silva, tweeted this out from her verified Twitter account: “So we can all kill teenagers now? Just checking.”
Update: Paul Colford of AP Media Relations has contacted Breitbart News to say: “Ms. Silva was a temporary AP staffer who hasn’t worked for AP lately. Thanks.”
Silva has since deleted her Twitter account, which was verified and noted she was with the Associated Press. Her last byline for the Associated Press was less than a week ago on July 9, 2013. In addition, as can be seen in her archives, she has written regularly for the Associated Press dating back to 2010, with at least eight bylines since May of 2013.
Furthermore, as can be seen on her verified profile at Muck Rack, Silva lists herself as: “Reporter, Associated Press.”
