Neighborhood Watch captain George Zimmerman, 26, admits to police that he fired the shot that killed high school junior Trayvon Martin outside of Orlando, Florida last month, but law enforcement has yet to press any charges on the murderer. Police that responded to 911 calls found Martin bleeding, face down, with a hole in chest and Zimmerman on the scene, but despite openly admitting his involvement, he has not been charged with the murder of the boy.
Zimmerman says he fired the fatal shot in self-defense. Martin’s family, on the other hand, wants to know what kind of threat the 17-year-old posed for the armed Neighborhood Watch member. Unlike Zimmerman, Martin was weaponless and on foot when he was killed. His assailant was in a car, nearly a decade his elder and was equipped with a 9mm handgun.
extremely suspiciuos. the police haven't arrested him yet because he studied criminal justice in college. what is a 26 year old doing living in a gated neighborhood anyway.
