Amid furious public pressure to make an arrest in the killing of Trayvon Martin, the special prosecutor on the case went for the maximum Wednesday, bringing a second-degree murder charge against the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot the unarmed black teenager. George Zimmerman, 28, was jailed in Sanford _ the site of the shooting Feb. 26 that set off a nationwide debate over racial profiling and self-defense _ on charges that carry a minimum of 25 years in prison and a maximum sentence that could put him in prison for life.Category: News
