Zimmerman Charged With 2nd-Degree Murder

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday April 11, 2012 @11:10AM from the up-to-the-jury dept.

George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot Trayvon Martin, was charged with second-degree murder. He faces up to life in prison if convicted in the shooting. From the article: "Special prosecutor Angela Corey announced the charges but would not discuss how she arrived at them or disclose other details of her investigation, saying: 'That's why we try cases in court.' Second-degree murder is typically brought in cases when there is a fight or other confrontation that results in death and but does [not] involve a premeditated plan to kill. Corey would not disclose Zimmerman's whereabouts for his safety but said that he will be in court within 24 hours."

"If you are liberal, you watch either MSNBC or CNN"
That explains why they can be so badly misinformed. I took a peek at "The Ed Show" and was amazed at the bias and stupidity of the host. At least as bad as anything the "right" has on TV.
