MIAMI (CBSMiami) – George Zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder for the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, according to the Associated Press.

Additionally, Zimmerman has been taken into custody, but it hasn’t been revealed where he is being held.

CBSMiami has confirmed that State Attorney Angela Corey, who was appointed as a special prosecutor in the case, will hold an announcement about the charges at 6 p.m. in Jacksonville.

That press conference can be viewed LIVE starting at 6 p.m. by clicking here.

Use a revolver. No brass to pick up or lose on the ground.

My questions: Where in Florida can this man get an unbiased jury and fair trial? Where in the United States could this man get an unbiased jury and fair trial? Where in Florida or the U.S. would you be able to safely incarcerate this man if he should be found guilty?

[TBP]

I’m surprised Cory didn’t announce the exact location where Zimmerman is. That would make killing him so much easier.

The was a legal argument that COULD be made for 1st but not a good one. This is the most severe thing they have a hope of winning a conviction for...

I was under the impression that it took an indictment by a grand jury to charge 1st degree murder.

While the Zimmerman/Martin ‘white’ on black killing is covered 24/7 on the MSM with an outpouring of rage and charges of a racial hate crime, where is the concern- where is the rage about the home invasion, torture, beating, rape and murder of the elderly white couple by a gang of feral blacks in Oklahoma just a few weeks ago?

The 90 year old war veteran husband was beaten and his jaw broken. He was shot in the face numerous times with a BB gun and sent to the hospital in critical condition.

The 85 year old partially blind wife was RAPED and then BEATEN TO DEATH.

Can you just imagine the pain, the humiliation, the horror that dear old lady experienced being gang raped by that pack of feral animals?

(the autopsy states she was raped. Don’t think all of these animals didn’t all participate)

And can you imagine the pain, the horror of that dear old husband having to witness this?

There’s a lot more involved here than a home invasion and robbery.

WHERE ARE THE CHARGES OF A RACIAL HATE CRIME??

90 year old husband’s jaw broken and shot in face with a BB gun numerous times?

85 wife year old semi blind wife RAPED and BEATEN to death??

Why does it take a foreign press to enlighten America as to this henious crime?

Where is the outrage?

Prosecutors routinely overcharge for that very purpose - to allow the jury a “menu of choices” for their verdict. (2nd degree murder is the maximum that the jury can choose now.) The prosecutor has an ethical responsibility not to charge what she can’t prove. So she believes she can prove 2nd degree murder beyond a reasonable doubt. If/when Zimmerman asserts an affirmative defense under the Stand Your Ground law, the prosecution will fight it.

You want 782.04 (2) here. That’s second degree.

[Cementjungle]

this Cory lady is totally on Martin’s side...disgusting

With the FBI, DHS, CIA, IRS, etc. breathing down her neck, she probably didn't have much choice.

If you live near the area........move.....quickly.

Sheepole will not stand up for themselves ,, so don’t expect anyone to rise up for Zimmerman . Tomorrow will come and go and there’s a lot worse things happening to this country than a killing in Fla. We are losing our country faster than you can say FAST and Furious . All being orchestrated by a usurper and his minions while congess sleeps at the switch . God may be our only hope because sheepole are too busy to be bothered .

[LibLieSlayer]

She asked today for EVERYONE to pray for her... Law Enforcement Officers and lawyers for the state of FloriDUH... and the martin family... no prayers for Zimmerman or his family. That right there will be used against her in the future... bank on it.

Sean Hannity said today that he has been told by numerous sources... and he alluded to Zimmerman telling him directly... that there exists some sort of video recording of this incident and this corrupt prosecutor (she has shown her bias today) said new evidence would be released.

Now I have no idea what will happen nor do I know for certain what has happened... but I do know that America was damaged badly with this debacle and along with all of the other insane activities occurring in America today... that we as an indivisible nation are doomed. There can be no compromise with communists and there can be no compromise or peace with racists. Zimmerman is Hispanic... and yet to hate him and make it easier to hate him... the black leadership in America and their presstitutes have called him white. Being white and male in America today is a crime punishable by whatever in the **** holder and obama want the punishment to be... even if it is to allow the new black panther party to issue a public contract on Zimmerman's life. It is as if a black david duke was selected as president... only hundreds of times worse.

A jury of his peers would contain no one with skin darker than his own.

So it is now against the law to follow someone?

I couldn’t believe her unprofessionalism. She was like a giddy little girl up there, an obvious sign of pandering. I expected at the minimun, a professionally delivered, serious minded lawyer. Instead, a suck up who is too cowardly to do her job.
