Zimmerman faces second degree murder charges in Martin case

Florida's governor is rejecting any suggestions charges were filed in the killing of the unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin because of public pressure.
Republican Gov. Rick Scott said Monday he doesn't believe special prosecutor Angela Corey is influenced by anything but the facts of the case.
He says his focus is the same as hers — securing justice for Martin's family and due process for George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer recently charged with second-degree murder in the Feb. 26 shooting of the 17-year-old.
Zimmerman's arrest last week came nearly six weeks after Martin was shot in a gated community in Sanford, near Orlando. The shooting touched off weeks of protests and U.S. debate about race and self-defense.

Los Angeles criminal defense attorney Michael Kraut says "if Zimmerman instigated the conflict, stand your ground law doesn't apply...the prosecution, however,  has a difficult task in this case."
