AP is reporting that he is in custody and they will go for murder 2.  Odd, I'm pretty confident that unless they use CNN'c "evidence" that Zimmerman should be able to beat any murder charge in Fla.

Faux Snooze is reporting the same thing.

Is she running for office?

That sounds like a campaign speech.

Murder 2 is ridiculous under the circumstances.  No wonder she didn't want to send it to a grand jury.

No mention of any included lesser charges.

She is banking on Murder 2 or nothing at all?

I wouldn't be surprised if having Eric Holder up her butt is why.

She should have pinched his head off while he was up it.

Updated at 5:51 p.m. ET] George Zimmerman has turned himself in to law enforcement and is in custody in Florida, according to CNN legal analyst Mark NeJame.

Zimmerman also has a new attorney, Mark O'Mara, according to NeJame.

NeJame reported that Zimmerman, before he surrendered, was "out of the state of Florida, as I understand it, for his safety."

If he is convicted, he will get a mandatory life in prison.

Lord.

Either the judge has something, or she's trying to force a manslaughter plea deal.  Either than, or Eric Holder will back up the maximum regardless of the facts.

Was anyone trouble by how gleeful the prosecutor seemed to be?  It was odd.

That is not my understanding.

It sounded like she was campaigning just like Nifong was doing in the Duke lacrosse case.  It also looked like she spent quite a bit of time in the makeup chair before the press conference.

She was grinning from ear to ear and "the crowd" was rejoicing...they smell blood.

He would be an idiot to plea bargain.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
