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….

— Ms INGRID B Miami (@MsIngridB) April 11, 2012

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

Instant dislike for Angela Corey …. loving the fame.

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
