I've seen it happens. It's pretty awesome...
"I remember adding that bit in there right there"
"Actually I think that was in the script"
"Oh...yeah...I guess it was"

I heard that Goyer or whoever it was overheard Snipes on a phone conversation, where he happened to use that line. Which is entirely too awesome to doubt!

He's going to be charged. It was inevitable regardless of the facts of the case whatever they may be Hopefully they find a fair and impartial jury and the case is decided on the merits rather than from external circumstances.

True, there's no proof, but there IS physical evidence. Which is more than there is for any of the "racist murder" thing the media and the kid's family have been pushing. As for his "running", there's no proof he's "running" at all, simply that his whereabouts are not known. I'd hide too if I were him, with all the people out to kill him. But nice to know you've already convicted him. Maybe a trial could be held after you execute him?

Convicted him?

I'd settle for an arrest. They're pretty standard when you shoot unarmed kids in the chest.

Also a mark on the back of the head doesn't constitute "physical evidence" in the same way a bullet hole in the chest does.

He would've been better off if he'd been arrested that day, like the original homicide detective wanted too.

This just in: Zimmerman is being charged, they haven't said specifically what just yet, but, it's not first degree murder.

do they know where he is?

[habitual]

I've heard that Zimmerman's made two calls since he's gone missing, one to Sean Hannity and the other to the special prosecutor, whom, wouldn't speak with him as he didn't have an attorney present.

Also the special prosecutor will be announcing the charges at 3pm PST.

The Florida special prosecutor investigating the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin plans to charge the shooter, George Zimmerman, in the incident, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

The announcement will be made at 6 p.m.

Citing an unnamed law enforcement official close to the investigation, the Post reported on its website that prosecutor Angela Corey could announce the charges as early as Wednesday. The report did not say what charges Corey would bring against Zimmerman.

Zimmerman is said to be losing weight and suffering from high levels of stress from the intense public scrutiny he is under, his former lawyers said.

The two attorneys announced Tuesday they no longer were representing neighbourhood watch volunteer Zimmerman because they haven’t heard from him since Sunday.

Zimmerman said he shot Martin in self-defence after following the teenager in a Florida a gated community outside Orlando on Feb. 26. He said he was returning to his truck when Martin attacked him and that he shot the unarmed teen during the fight. He wasn’t arrested partly because of Florida’s “stand your ground” self-defence law.

The lack of an arrest has led to protests across the U.S. and spurred a debate about race and the laws of self-defence. Zimmerman’s father is white and his mother is Hispanic. Martin was black.

Trayvon Martin shooter creates fundraising website

ORLANDO, FLA.—From hiding, George Zimmerman has created a website to raise money for his legal defence and living expenses while he awaits a special prosecutor’s decision whether to charge him in the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin.

One of Zimmerman’s lawyers, Craig Sonner, confirmed on Monday the site was legitimately Zimmerman’s.

“He is operating this on his own,” Sonner told Reuters.

The website, called therealgeorgezimmerman.com, offers one of the first public comments from Zimmerman since the neighbourhood watch volunteer shot Martin on Feb. 26 in what he said was self-defence.

He went into hiding shortly after the shooting, which generated nationwide controversy after police declined to arrest him. A special prosecutor is weighing whether to seek criminal charges after announcing Monday that she would not take the case before a grand jury.

“On Sunday February 26th, I was involved in a life altering event which led me to become the subject of intense media coverage,” Zimmerman says on the home page. “I have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family and ultimately, my entire life.”

The home page links to a PayPal donation form. Zimmerman promised to “maintain accountability” for any money received.

The case led to protests across the country demanding that Zimmerman be arrested. Critics say Zimmerman, 28, who is white and Hispanic, thought Martin, 17, was suspicious and followed him because he was black.

Zimmerman told police that Martin attacked him and he shot the teenager in self-defence.

Martin’s family has established the Justice for Trayvon Martin Foundation to raise money “to support awareness of civil rights, social justice and the quality of life for young black men,” according to a website that said it has collected nearly $21,000 as of Monday.

Meanwhile, the special prosecutor in the Martin case, Angela Corey, said Monday that her investigation will continue but the grand jury will not hear the case, as had been scheduled for Tuesday.

In a statement, Corey said the decision did not reflect whether there will ultimately be a prosecution. Instead, her office can choose on its own whether to charge Zimmerman with a crime in Martin’s death.

The grand jury had been called upon by Seminole-Brevard State Attorney Norm Wolfinger, who initially was handling the case but has since stepped aside.

Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump said the teen’s parents are “not surprised” by the announcement, and remain hopeful that Zimmerman will soon be arrested.

It was a life ending event for Martin.

There's been no press conference yet.

Unless they have an "inside" source take it with a grain of salt.
