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.

This is supposed to be a government of laws, not of men. The people who joined this lynch mob are disgusting garbage, and I include these prosecutors in that category.

They know damn well Zimmerman is innocent.. He called the authorities.. He was jumped.. His head was pounded into cement.

This is about taking away guns, folks.. They hand-picked this case.. It's a gun grab. Even Bloomberg the blooming IDIOT chimed in about it saying the Florida 'Stand Your Ground' self-defense is a "license to murder" .

Charged with Self-Defense While White, a felony.

this self-assured arrogant pig of a special prosecutor sing Al Sharpton’s tune, it was disgusting.

This is unbelievable.

Sharpton: "We will will not be gloating here",

As Sharptons entourage and audience of racist applauds.

I predict Zimmerman is declared not guilty, Rodney King riots Part 2 begin but this time America has had enough.

There Will Be Blood this fall.

Prosecution is not about justice or truth it is about winning.

I wonder what Lex got the zot for?

For making no sense?

I read and re-read that post. Vague and unclear at best.

Oh Well.

But, if manslaughter is on the list of charges, you can be not guilty for 2nd-degree murder, but guilty of manslaughter.

Can a defendant be charged with both 2nd-degree murder and manslaughter at the same time if only one person is dead as a result of the incident?

And the winner of the Mike Nifong Prosecutorial Overreach Award for 2012 is...Angela Corey. Well done, Angela.

black = biased
female = scared

Jurors will be biased and/or scared.

[nomobs]

If acquitted, Holder won’t charge him. they need this crisis to last. Martial law in probably the most likely action.

[Hot Tabasco]

He went and talked to them without an attorney it sounds like.

It sounds like? It sounds like another obscure media article trying to gain readership......

How many more threads about Zimmerman being charged with second degree murder are we going to have to suffer thru?

[FedsRStealingOurCountryFromUs]

Republicans are cowards. Still waiting for 0bama’s and/or Holder’s IMPEACHMENT hearings in Congress.

[TBP]

Mr. Zimmerman is being charged with SDWW.

[Repeal 16-17]

I predict Zimmerman is declared not guilty, Rodney King riots Part 2 begin but this time America has had enough.

If you're right, the Liberal Messiah won't be reelected. Of course, I didn't say He would leave office.

[ArmstedFragg]

Yes. Unless the defense makes a tactical decision to oppose the lesser charges.

[popdonnelly]

This charge is a complete joke. Read Florida Statutes 782.04 and tell me how the facts in this case in any way conform to a charge of second degree murder.

I think this is a case of overcharging in the hope that the defendant will plead to a lesser offense.

[FedsRStealingOurCountryFromUs]

Isn’t that what 0bama wants?

[Verginius Rufus]

Maybe they figure they can present the facts in court and the jurors will just decide the case on what they heard initially in the media.

If it weren't for Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, Zimmerman wouldn't have been charged at all. American justice, 2012.
