Zimmerman, who was a fugitive, was arrested in Seminole County jail in Florida after turning himself, officials say. His lawyer said he did not plead guilty, and the news that a hearing to set bail may be taken as early as Thursday.
Special Prosecutor Angela Corey Zimmerman to load the solution, which is white and Hispanic, came 45 days after the shot in a quiet closed in central Florida Sanford.
The police refused to arrest Zimmerman, based on his account and self-contradictory Florida's "stand on his" law, which caused civil rights demonstrations across the country.
"I can tell you that we have not taken this decision lightly," Cory said at a press conference in Jacksonville.
"Let me emphasize that we have not pursued under the pressure of the public upon request. We are still based on the facts of the particular case, and the laws of the State of Florida."
Martin, 17, was on his way back to the house of the bride from her father when Zimmerman said it and thought it suspicious, call the police, and to challenge their advice in accordance with the teenager.
Zimmerman told police that he returned to his car, when Martin was attacked, putting him a blow on the nose. Martin then repeatedly criticized the head against the concrete sidewalk Zimmerman, Zimmerman's brother and father. Zimmerman then took out a 9mm pistol, was allowed to carry and shot Martin once in the chest.
Witnesses heard screams for help, and then shot, sounds that were captured on the 911 emergency call neighbors. It was unclear who was shouting. Martin's parents said that they recognized the voice of his son. But Zimmerman's brother, Robert swore that it was George Zimmerman pleas for help.
The decision whether to download the rest Corey Zimmerman as she was appointed governor of Florida on March 22.
The noise made Police Chief Sanford to step aside and regularly appointed attorney to abandon the case, which led to the appointment of Corey.
Disputed facts related shooting were taken continuously television commentators, while dominating headlines and spark debate about gun laws self-defense and what it means to be black in America.
I am looking for second-degree murder, the smaller the charge, such as murder, Cory reaffirmed its reputation as a prosecutor seeking to bring the most serious charges possible. If convicted, Zimmerman could face a prison term of up to 25 years to life.
"Standing on its" on the court
In deciding against the arrest of Zimmerman, the police led Florida to "stand on his" law that allows people to use deadly force when they believe that they are under threat of death or severe suffering injuries.
One of the first test case will be a hearing at which counsel Zimmermann to get the immune system in "stand on their" must convince the judge there is sufficient evidence to show Zimmerman has reasonable grounds to believe that he is in danger.
Zimmerman's relatives and supporters insisted that he was not a racist and unjust reproach. They said that he feared for his life during a clash with Martin and was justified in using deadly force.
Parents Travyon appeared on camera several times, demanding justice for her son.
"We just wanted to arrest," the mother Travyon, Sybrina Fulton, told reporters in Washington after the announcement of Corey. "We wanted nothing more, nothing less. We just wanted to arrest. And we were. I thank you. Thank you, Florida. Thank you, Jesus."
Zimmerman was represented by two lawyers, Craig Bash and Hal Uhrig, who left the event on Tuesday, saying that they had lost contact with Zimmerman and Zimmerman that the office is contacted directly by Corey on Tuesday in an apparent attempt to resolve the issue of its own.
Ring and Uhrig said they feared for Zimmerman emotional and physical well-being of the stress of life on the run, mostly alone, and television commentators and sports stars have demanded his arrest.
But his new attorney Mark O'Mara said Zimmerman is in order.
"I am not concerned about his mental well-being right now," O'Mara told Reuters. "It seems very clear."
He later told reporters that he expects Zimmerman to attend the hearing on Thursday and said he hoped the judge set bail in the family can afford to Zimmerman.
"Let the process work," said O'Mara. "There are a lot of emotions high, perhaps, some of them were rescued by the arrest .... We need to calm down. It should be judged in court."
Filming has received little media attention at first, but the parents of Martin, who divorced, and their lawyers continued to make public calls for the arrest of Zimmerman. This eventually led to the madness of the media, angry messages on the Internet, celebrities, and the comments of President Barack Obama: "If I had a son, she would look Trayvon".
"There is some relief" Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett said, referring to the "road to recovery" for his city, now that the cries of community detention Zimmerman was the answer.
"We call for calm after in Sanford, and surrounding communities throughout the country," said Triplett.
"This event has touched the hearts of many, many lives, and began to talk, but we hope that the atmosphere of civility will continue."
