George Zimmerman expected to be charged in Trayvon Martin’s death By Dylan Stableford
Angela Corey, the special prosecutor investigating
the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, is scheduled
to hold a 6 p.m. EDT press conference in
Jacksonville, Fla., on Wednesday , where she is
expected to charge George Zimmerman in the 17-
year-old's killing.
It's not clear what the specific criminal charges will
be. Corey's office confirmed the press conference
but did not elaborate on the details.
The announcement comes a day after
Zimmerman's attorneys said that they were
dropping the case because their client had stopped
communicating with them . On Sunday,
Zimmerman launched a website seeking
donations for his legal and living expenses.
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman, shot
and killed Martin on Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla., a
gated community outside of Orlando. He told
police he was attacked by Martin and was acting in
self-defense.
According to the Associated Press, Zimmerman's
arrest is also expected soon.
Earlier this week, Corey announced the case would
not go to a grand jury.
