A special prosecutor said the Florida neighborhood-watch volunteer who killed the unarmed teen would be indicted on a charge of second-degree murder. Zimmerman turned himself in and was in custody, the prosecutor said. His lawyer said he will plead not guilty. Holder pledged a thorough probe to see if U.S. civil-rights charges are warranted.
The case has brought scrutiny to the Stand Your Ground law, which authorities relied on in deciding not to arrest the shooter.
