k here it is:

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.
According to the Associated Press, Zimmerman will be charged with 2nd-degree murder. Corey's office confirmed the press conference but did not elaborate on the details. According to the AP, Zimmerman is in custody. According to CNN, he turned himself in.
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.

Finally, sheesh.

Only second-degree, which is lame, but at least it's something.

pfft
No one gets off that easy
No one
Reguardless of cirumstances
He killed someone
There is no proof on either side who attack,or if there was attacks
So the whole self defense card is void
He be charged on basis of taking human life reguardless

True that nobody gets off easy, but the fact that he hasn't been in custody makes you wonder.

At least they've got the guy locked up, which is where he should've been to begin with.
