I think that's exactly it. They're publishing, based on NBC and the Washington Post, and they're hoping they've gotten it right.

Probably they have, actually, but I don't think Walter Chronkite would have published this yet.

They did say they would give the media a three hour notice but Walter Chronkite must have gotten a jump on the story.

Wait... who's pregnant??

I think they mean the son of Brandy (forgot her last name - that is engaged to Tracy Martin) that was Trayvon's soon to be step brother.

Now I really want to know why George Zimmerman called the SA himself? What could he have possibly wanted to say to the SA?

Walter Chronkite is dead.

CNN has most recently said (paraphrased) 'that their senior law enforcement source has said that George will be criminally charged if he hasn't been charged already'.

Walter Chronkite is dead.

So is Generaliismo Francisco Franco


Sorry, could not resist

 

[LolaMoon08]

Does anyone have any live links? Like anything being set up? Helicopters?

Thanks for that chuckle. :floorlaugh:

I don't know, with so many crazy things that we've seen happen in the past with cases, I'm just not real comfortable until we actually hear the words come out of AC's mouth.

JMHO

Gosh this is scarey. I have tried to remain equal untill all evidence has come out. But if the "wrong" annoucement is made it could be bad. I am in Jax and I work not very far from downtown where Corey's office is. What scares me most is the area I work is prodominetly black and high crime area. I am afraid of riots and racial tension happening.

And I need to go see my nephew who is the hospital in the same area after work.

Some of the local news from here.

Does anyone have any live links? Like anything being set up? Helicopters?

There were helicopters flying around here earlier which is usually normal. But after hearing this annocement we were wondering if it was news or police or other.

Normally it is police or life flight.

I seen on this website which is local they will have a live feed

[JennyMominRI]

All is quiet in East Orlando so far

 

[Steft50]

GZ will be charged!! CNN is quoting the Washington Post. I'm waiting for the perp walk.

I'm sorta at the point where I will only believe it when I see/hear it will.

 

[LolaMoon08]

I don't even care to see GZ actually being brought in... I just want the words "He has been charged with (insert charges here) and he is now in custody."

Special prosecutor Angela Corey will announce charges against the 28-year-old Zimmerman at a 6 p.m. Wednesday news conference, the official with knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press. Corey confirmed that an announcement on the case would be made in Jacksonville but didn't elaborate. The person said Zimmerman's arrest is also expected soon...
