The second-degree murder trial of George Zimmerman, charged in the killing of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin, is tentatively set for June 10, a Florida judge decided on Wednesday.
Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson set the date, but the defense said there were still several issues pending, including a self-defense immunity hearing. Zimmerman has argued that he shot Martin in self-defense and acted legally under Florida’s “stand uour ground” law.
In a later tweet, defense attorneys said they would seek a stand-your-ground hearing in April or May. If they are successful, Zimmerman would not face trial in the shooting.
