This evening Jorge Zimmerman was taken into police custody and charged with SECOND DEGREE MURDER in the death of Treyvon Martin.
Do you agree or disagree.
A tape from a neighbor with Treyvon screaming for help and for his mother before a shot rang out was one of the deciding factors.
Why did Zimmerman's wife take their children and leave Mr. Zimmerman?
These are Questions popping up now.
What do you think? |

I'm glad he's behind bars right now. It's going to be an interesting defense.

Zimmerman charged with 2nd-degree murder April 11, 2012 by CBNews.com (CBS/AP) George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin to death in Sanford, Florida nearly two months ago, will be charged with second-degree murder in the incident. The special prosecutor in the case, Angela Corey, announced the charge against Zimmerman at an early Wednesday evening news conference held at the Jacksonville State Attorney's office in Jacksonville, Florida. She also announced that Corey is in custody. Where is George Zimmerman? New info expected in Trayvon Martin case AG vows thorough review in Trayvon Martin case Earlier before the announcement, the parents of Martin said charges against Zimmerman would start the healing process, but they won't stop fighting until he's convicted. Zimmerman's shooting of the unarmed black teenager Feb. 26 brought demands from black leaders for his arrest and set off a furious nationwide debate over race and self-defense that reached all the way to the White House. The 28-year-old Zimmerman, whose father is white and whose mother is Hispanic, said the teenager attacked him. Martin's family argued Zimmerman was the aggressor. On Tuesday, Zimmerman's lawyers announced they were withdrawing from the case because they hadn't heard from him since Sunday and didn't know where he was. They portrayed his mental state as fragile. 17 Photos Fla. Teen killed by neighborhood watch volunteer View the Full Gallery » "He is largely alone. You might even say he is emotionally crippled by virtue of the pressure of this case," said one of the lawyers, Hal Uhrig. The case has drawn the interest of the highest levels of the Obama administration, with the Justice Department's civil rights division opening its own investigation. Zimmerman's arrest was delayed partly because of Florida's "stand your ground" law, which gives people wide leeway to use deadly force without having to retreat in the face of danger. Florida is among 21 states with such a law. Tensions have risen in recent days in Sanford. Someone shot up an unoccupied police car Tuesday as it sat outside the neighborhood where Martin was killed. And a demonstration by college students closed the town's police station Monday. Six weeks ago, Martin was returning to the home of his father's fiancee from a convenience store when Zimmerman started following him. Zimmerman told police dispatchers he looked suspicious. At some point, the two got into a fight and Zimmerman used his gun. Zimmerman told police Martin attacked him after he had given up chasing the teenager and was returning to his truck. He told detectives that Martin knocked him to the ground and began slamming his head on the sidewalk. Zimmerman's father said that Martin threatened to kill his son and that Zimmerman suffered a broken nose. A video taken about 40 minutes after the shooting as Zimmerman arrived at the Sanford police station showed him walking unassisted without difficulty. There were no plainly visible bandages or blood on his clothing, but Zimmerman may have had a small wound on the back of his head. The shooting ignited resentment toward the police department, and Police Chief Bill Lee temporarily stepped down to let passions cool. Civil rights groups and others have held rallies around the country, saying the shooting was unjustified. Many of the protesters wore the same type of hooded sweatshirt that Martin had on that day, suggesting his appearance and race had something to do with his killing. President Barack Obama injected himself into the debate, urging Americans to "do some soul-searching." "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon," Obama said March 23. The local prosecutor disqualified himself from the case, and Gov. Rick Scott appointed Corey, the prosecutor for Jacksonville, to take it over.Zimmerman charged with 2nd-degree murder April 11, 2012 by CBNews.com (CBS/AP) George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin to death in Sanford, Florida nearly two months ago, will be charged with second-degree murder in the incident.

The facts in the case remain...any person who picks up a gun, does so with intent to use that gun. I don't know 1 single person who would take a gun with them just to go see what's going on outside. Not ONE!
I'm glad Zimmerman is behind bars...it's where he needs to be. |
