George Zimmerman appeared in court on Thursday one day after he was finally charged with the killing of Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman briefly spoke in response to Judge Mark Herr.
Judge Mark Herr: “Mr. Zimmerman?”
George Zimmerman: “Yes, sir.”
Judge Mark Herr: “You’re appearing here for your first appearances, or first appearance, at this time for a charge of murder in the second degree, and you are represented by Mr. O’Mara. Is that true?”
George Zimmerman: “Yes, sir.”
Zimmerman faces a minimum of 25 years in prison. A bail hearing will likely be held next week, followed by Zimmerman’s formal arraignment on May 29.
