This just in from Florida, after launching a website this week and losing his lawyers George Zimmerman will in fact be charged in the shooting of unarmed teen Trayvon Martin. From the CNN:
George Zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the February 26 shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, a Florida state attorney announced Wednesday. State attorney Angela Corey said that Zimmerman has surrendered to authorities and has been arrested. Police say Zimmerman fatally shot Martin, a 17-year-old African-American, on February 26 in Sanford, Florida, after Martin began walking home from a convenience store.
No word yet if Zimmerman is going to be allowed to post bond but he does have a new legal team is working on it.
