“The Florida special prosecutor announced a second-degree murder charge on Wednesday against George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
“Angela B. Corey, the prosecutor, said Mr. Zimmerman, 28, a crime watch volunteer, was in the custody of law enforcement officers in Florida. He is accused of fatally shooting Mr. Martin, an unarmed teenager, in a case that has captivated the country and brought to the fore issues of race, violence and precisely what constitutes self-defense.
“‘We did not come to this decision lightly,’ Ms. Corey said. She added, ‘Let me emphasize that we do not prosecute by public pressure or by petition.’
“‘We will continue to seek the truth about this case,’ she said.”
HA! Was just about to post that...
