Finally some justice! It doesn't matter how we all fill about self-defense, this killing was wrong and was racially charged " fear of the black man, stereo-types, ignorance and hate". No matter what race you are if this happen to your child, friend, brother, father we would be saying the same thing if it was indeed racially charged.
Police say Zimmerman fatally shot Martin, a 17-year-old African-American, on February 26 in Sanford, Florida, after Martin began walking home from a convenience store. Zimmerman, who is Hispanic and was a neighborhood watch volunteer, had called 911 to complain about a suspicious person in the neighborhood.
He was released without charges after claiming self-defense, but the case was referred to a special prosecutor as thousands converged on Sanford to join in protests calling for Zimmerman's arrest.
And like the rest of country who is following this case TraYvon Mom tweeted her feelings as she awaits the charges on pins and needles:
We're on pins&needles waiting for Ms. Coreys decision but we're prayerful that justice will prevail. He sits high&loom#GODisincontrol
