George Zimmerman Charged with Murder of Trayvon Martin

admin Apr 11 12 0 Comments

Finally we are seeing justice!!! Florida special prosecutor Angela Corey announced Wednesday that she is charging George Zimmerman in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, according to multiple reports.
Corey will hold a press conference on the case at 6:00pm ET in Jacksonville, Fla., FOX News Channel reported. (You can watch the presser live on Fox News Latino)
The Washington Post first reported that Corey would bring charges.
It is not known which charges she will file.
Corey announced earlier this week that she was not convening a grand jury in the case, meaning the decision on whether to charge Zimmerman was hers alone. Without a grand jury indictment, Corey cannot pursue a first-degree murder charge but can go forward with second-degree murder or manslaughter charges.

The unarmed Martin, an African-American, was shot and killed in a gated community in Sanford, Fla., by neighborhood watchman Zimmerman, who claims he was acting in self-defense.
