Special prosecutor charges neighborhood watch captain with murder.George Zimmerman denied right to defend himself.

Created by P.K. on January 19, 2013

When George Zimmerman,a volunteer neighborhood watch Captain spotted an individual he'd never seen before walking around in the same crime ridden community where he was working that night he became suspicious and alerted 911 who dispatched the police.Before police arrived Zimmerman had already confronted Martin which led to an altercation between the two men. Zimmerman suffered a fractured nose and several lacerations to his head before shooting Martin in self defense.A bloody nosed Zimmerman was treated by EMT's on scene.

Even though a Special Prosecutor's investigator didn't know for sure who started the confrontation between the two ,he's now charged with second degree murder by an overzealous justice system who has set his bond at 1 million dollars. .
