SANFORD, Fla. — The man charged with second-degree murder in Trayvon Martin's death has arrived at a Florida jail after turning himself in.
George Zimmerman reached the jail in Sanford on Wednesday night, hours after a special prosecutor announced the charge against him. He's expected to make his first court appearance on Thursday.

Zimmerman's Attorney Mark O'Mara says that his client will plead not guilty and asks that people not jump to conclusions about whether he's guilty....

Just a thought: Zimmerman’s lawyers said he contacted the prosecutor on his own. What if Zimmerman asked to be charged as being arrested and facing trial is better than running around with a bounty on his head from thousands of people who want to lynch him.
Both for his own protection and possibly the protection of his family he wanted to be arrested and face a jury.
A travesty of Justice and places Capt. Zimmerman in a dangerous situation.
Free Zimmerman!!
Not a chance in hell. It would be a crime, abdication of fiduciary responsibility if a prosecutor prosecuted a defendant for exculpatory reasons at the request of the defendant.
Perhaps he didn’t think his attorneys at the time were acting in his best interests.
Some questions I have for the audience:
If Zimmerman is eventually exonerated will the Feds come after him?
Did the state prosecuting attorney decide to charge him to protect him from being taken to task by the Feds?
If the grand jury had looked at this case, before the state prosecutor took it over, and ruled in favor of Zimmerman would the Feds still have gone after him?
If Z is freed, it will be Rodney King all over again. You ppl in FL, get ready. I bet the Koreans are.
This case gives me a real sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
They are saying, “You CANNOT defend yourself from thugs!” IF the thugs are black.
The realization that this man cannot get a fair trial is... I don’t know, a travesty?
There may be evidence that they have good reason to charge him, but I’m afraid it’s just the race pimps that caused this.
Zimmerman should have left the country. Someone will always be coming after him here.
Understandible; however, at the end of the day it’s still better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
To appease "Holder's People", they charged him with a Crime he didn't commit, and should be exonerated totally.
However, the Jury will be packed with blacks, and/or, the Jurors will fear for their lives if they vote to Acquit.
An Aquital would bring ten-fold the looting, beatings, burning of shops and homes, etc. that the Rodney King trial brought in LA.
Even IF some miracle occurred, and Zimmerman was rightfully Acquitted, the Bounty would remain, and Holder would charge him with a "Hate Crime", even though he was getting the shit beat out of him by a black thug yewt....that's where we are today, folks, and if you're white, you have no chance when the State-Run-Media and black goon squads start their whining and sabre-rattling.
It will come down to riots in the streets, once the money for the Crack and bling runs out for the inner-city parasitic tribes.
Poor bastard.
the feds wont go after zimmerman after november 2012.

Plausible. I can’t begin to imagine what this guy is going through. He’s been absolutely destroyed without charges or conviction. Let’s get them filed and get this over with, makes sense
