The trial of George Zimmerman for the fatal shooting of unarmed African-American teenager Trayvon Martin is wrapping up in Florida. In his closing remarks Thursday, prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda accused Zimmerman, a self-appointed neighborhood watch captain, of profiling Trayvon Martin as the 17-year-old walked through a gated community carrying only Skittles and iced tea. The prosecutor opened his statement with these words.

Bernie de la Rionda: “A teenager is dead. He is dead through no fault of his own. He is dead because another man made assumptions.”

Zimmerman could face up to life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder. On Thursday, the judge told jurors they could also find Zimmerman guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter, which could carry up to 30 years in prison. The defense will make its closing statement today followed by a rebuttal from prosecutors. Then a jury of six women, five of them white, will deliberate Zimmerman’s fate.
