A bond hearing will be held this morning in Florida for George Zimmerman, who faces a second-degree murder charge in the February 26 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Martin’s parents are expected to attend the hearing and could come face to face for the first time with Zimmerman. The Orlando Sentinel reports many local defense lawyers expect Zimmerman will be granted bond and given the opportunity to await trial outside a jail cell. In related news, Florida Gov. Rick Scott has announced the formation of a task force to review the state’s “Stand Your Ground” gun law.
