The charges against Zimmerman were officially announced tonight during a press conference given by Special Prosecutor Angela Corey.
(You can read the full charging documents here.)
Corey had a difficult time containing her excitement:
Angela Corey needs to wipe that smile off her face.

Why is Angela Corey smiling? Very smug. #TrayvonMartin

Angela Corey is such a southern belle. It kills me every time I see her talk. She's so happily malicious. I don't know. Can't explain.

I NEED ANGELA COREY TO HAVE A MORE SERIOUS EXPRESSION ON HER FACE FOR THIS PRESS CONFERENCE….

Corey says she believes Zimmerman has obtained new legal counsel. His previous team quit yesterday.

As for the substance of the conference:
Corey said she's talked to #Trayvon's parents and told them of decision. http://t.co/1mxIGlUD

This special prosecutor, Angela Corey, starting off the presser on the wrong foot, showing a bias towards the Martin family. #mistrial

This case with Zimmerman is crucial! I urge ppl to leave this in God's hands & not take justice upon ourselves for Trayvon's family sake
— KingHumble Drake (@HumbleDrake31) April 11, 2012
Zimmerman should get a fair trial. But will he face a jury? If so, he's toast! The press has already made him out to be guilty.
— Andre Garrigo (@andre3k1) April 11, 2012
And, of course, the inevitable rejoicing at the prospect of Zimmerman’s injury and/or murder:
Now That Zimmerman In Prison , I Hope Them Inmates Stick A Pack Of Skittles And Arizona Tea Up Ya Ass!!
— Anyea (@A_grifff) April 11, 2012
