A new trial date has been set for the second-degree murder trial for George Zimmerman.
George Zimmerman trial date
Newly appointed Judge Debra Nelson, decided with defense attorney Mark O’Mara and pressed prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda that June 10th would be the date that Zimmerman’s trial would begin, with O’Mara reportedly responding afterward:
“June makes sense because it gives us a target date,” O’Mara said shortly after the hearing. “I have no idea between now and then if we’ll be ready. We’re going to try to be ready.”
Attorneys for Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin will reportedly meet on Friday “to discuss discovery issues, subpoenas for Trayvon’s school records, and motions by the news media to keep the facts of the case public,” according to published reports.
Incident that led to charges
In February of this year, George Zimmerman a volunteer neighborhood watchman shot and killed unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin. The murder sparked national outrage, highlighting issues of race relations and gun laws.
Zimmerman claims he shot Martin in self-defense.
