The second week of testimony continues today in the infamous George Zimmerman second degree murder trial. Police, first responders, security personnel, neighbor eye-witnesses, and a friend who talked to Martin moments before he died all took the stand last week.

The jury heard a frantic 911 call and saw graphic photos of Trayvon Martin’s dead body. They also saw evidence including the bag of skittles Trayvon had on him and Zimmerman’s gun.

Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch volunteer, is charged with second-degree murder. He claims he shot Martin in self-defense after the teen attacked him and slammed his head into a sidewalk.
