corey says the shooting case of trayvon martin will not go before a grand jury. corey announced her decision today as she continues to investigate the case one day before a grand jury convenes in florida. corey took over last month after the prosecutor who normally handles cases out of sanford recused himself. that prosecutor norm wolfinger originally intended to present the case to a grand jury. days after taking control corey said her office is committed to getting answers. >> we will finish our investigation and then decide in what forum that will occur. >> reporter: corey's office releasing a statement on the decision saying, "from the moment she was assigned ms. corey noted she may not need a grand jury. corey has a reputation for not presenting cases before a grand jury if it is not required and the decision to skip one should not be considered a sign as to whether charges will be filed against george zimmerman." he's the neighborhood watch volunteer who admitted shooting martin claiming he was acting in self-defense. one of the attorneys representing zimmerman believes no grand jury bodes well for his client saying, "i'm more confident in her, special prosecutor angela corey, to under

corey. they believe that miss corey's ethical and knows what she's doing and the office knows what they're doing. they don't believe that miss corey would have brought this charge had she not believed zimmerman was guilty of murdering their son. that being said, once again, all along you've seen this family. this is a praying family. they trust in god. and they trust in what happens. and they also trust and believe in the justice system. and that's what this legal team has told them. so what happens is up to angela corey's office, it's up to this judge, and it's up to god. >> it was a very emotional day for the family. we could see particularly with trayvon's father. seemed to be in tears for a lot of what he was listening to. obviously very hard for them to finally come face to face with the man who killed their son. >> yeah. it was. and i will tell you. we saw an interesting dynamic today. normally sybrina fulton is the person who is the more emotional one. and today it was really hard to sit by tracy martin as he hears information about the killing of his son. and see him so full of emotion. sybrina was comforting him. >> natal

corey has the author tight determine whether george zimmerman should be charged for a crime for shooting stray trayvon martin. one of the attorneys said he sees corey's decision as a good sign for the client. corey is known for not bringing grand jury's into investigations. her decision, she said, should not be considered a sign as to whether zimmerman will eventually be barged -- charged. >>> the news edge in virginia now. the students held a rally to demand their moneybag. since -- they said they were told they had last tuesday off. when they showed up for regular classes on wednesday, the school closed. they called -- students and medical billing, radiology other and courses. the students said they paid for the classes and want their money back. >> we haven't heard anything about that. i tried to make contact with financial aid and we can't get our money back at this moment. >> and no credit transfers. >> and no credit transfers? >> act college has three campuses. they went to the ceo and the president jeff moore's neighborhood to demand direct answers. >>> in the district now, parents and teachers rallied outside of the wilson building, unhappy about what they call massive school budget cuts

corey's office that's the greater likelihood miss corey will go ahead and announce that herself. >> and what's the general formula, procedure, after she announces the charge or charges she's filing against zimmerman? at what point do we actually see zimmerman in court or walking into court or at a precinct in a police station? when with will we actually, in your experience, and you have a lot of experience, mark, in florida? when will we see him? >> reporter: well, the way it typically works is you get arrested and then there is bond. you can either afford to post that bond or you can't afford to post the bond. if you cannot afford to post a bond then -- and you don't get out of court within the first 24 hours then the first 24 hours you have what's called the first appearance. you have an initial appearance when you go before a judge, and then there will be a probable cause determination and then they'll keep the existing bond, and a bond hearing. then, in fact, the judge will make a determination. i think that the mere fact that mr. zimmerman has voluntarily turned himself in and when we heard this was going on would stronger suggest that a lower bond would be reasonable in this case, that he's not a flight risk to the extent that he apparently turned himself in voluntarily, and i suspect mr. o'mara will be speaking to the state attorney's office and miss corey'sl work out a reasonably agreeable bond and if they're unable to do so then they'll proceed to a hearing where a judge will make the determination. if the judge is not satisfied with the fact that it should be lower or if she wants to defer to the judge assigned to the case then that will be heard by the judge. now we don't know when he will appear in sanford, so it's likely that we'll know more after we hear miss corey's press conference. >> we're waiting about 15 minutes or so, and that's when she's expected to speak there in jacksonville. how quickly under normal circumstances they file a charge and they've arrested him and he's in custody, would the whole issue of whether or not he would be free on bail and bond. how quickly does that take place? >> reporter: it should be taking place now. there will likely be a bond amount, either a no-bond situation or a bond, and whatever the bond is, with mr. zimmerman, whether he can meet the bond and the conditions of the bond then they'll be

corey's office issued a short statement today that read in part, state attorney angela corey has decided not to use a grand jury in the trayvon martin shooting death investigation and cautioned the decision should not be a factor in the final determination of the case. corey has two options. bring charges against 28-year-old george zimmerman in the shooting death of trayvon martin or stick with the state attorney's initial conclusion and announce zimmerman was unfear for his life that night and cannot be charged with a crime. >> whatever she decides, that's the end of the matter. there is no appeal from the prosecutor's decision to charge or not to charge. >> demonstrators today marched to sanford's police department. their sit-in closed the department for several hours until a surprise. several were invited inside to take a phone call from the special prosecutor. >> she didn't give us much details, but sort of seemed to hint that something will be coming very shortly. so we're very excited about that. >> we want an arrest. >> trayvon martin's family has been front and center with some of the nation's leading civil rights leader, all demanding an arrest. their legal team said they're hopeful that a decision will be reached very soon to arrest george zimme

corey? >> i'll be talking to miss corey this morning. the formal obligation begins 15 days after his arraignment, which is going to be a couple of weeks off. i would anticipate that we'll be able to work out a process to get me some of that information hopefully earlier. and we'll get started as soon as we have it. >> mark, this has galvanized the country for weeks now. obviously, a lot of people, as you've said, you learned about this through the media. you've seen the faces that have been out there representing george. his former legal team. his brother has been out there. his father has given certain interviews. even the friend joe oliver, who made the media rounds. how much of an uphill battle do you feel you have legally and also perception being reality, trying to combat the narrative that has already been out there through so many leaks about this case? >> i was frustrated as an attorney watching it happen with no involvement in the case because i don't like when cases and information is in effect leaked from one side or the other because it's simply one piece of a puzzle and it can only give a bad impression. good or bad, one way or the other, a wrong impression. and i was frustrated by that. i don't believe that miss corey is going to continue to do any of that. i don't intend to. i had a particular frustration when i thought that it was miss corey's office that allowed the video of the sally port of the jail event with mr. zimmerman to be released because i wouldn't understand why she did it. it was not her. it seemed to have been done without her knowledge. and -- because that type of information just keeps the fan -- feeding the fans -- or fanning the flames. and it's just not healthy for the case. and quite honestly, it's not healthy for the community. we have a process that works. let's let it work. >> do you think a change of venue is part of your legal strategy? >> i don't think that we could try the case tomorrow in seminole county because of the enormous focus on the case. by the time we get to it, could be six months, could be a year or more, we will look at if, reevaluate it at that point. there's a pretty good process in florida to make sure we get a fair and impartial jury. we're allowed to

corey will decide whether to pursue charges here. how significant is it in your opinion? >> i don't know if it's that significant. i think what miss corey is doing is trying to be careful. you have a lot of attention on the case. she wants to make sure there is not any unnecessary time table, trying to present something to the grand jury in a day or week may not be what she and her investigators need, so, as the public, i wouldn't read into it anything. >> give us perspective on the length of time this has taken to reach this point. has this whole process taken longer than usual or does it feel that way because the case is under the microscope? >> reporter: i think that is because it's under the microscope. the murder cases can take -- you can arrest somebody that day and arrest somebody decades later because usually there is no statute of limitations. >> and we heard a reporter, phil keating in the field, saying there is no timetable on this. is there a time limit? >> no. no and ordinarily, if you're going to charge someone with a homicide, there is no statute of limitations. some other -- and if there are other charges to be considere

corey. >> good evening, everyone. i'm angela corey, the special prosecutor for the trayvon martin case. just moments ago we spoke on the phone with sybrina fulton and tracey martin. we told them weeks ago that we would get answers for their questions no matter where the quest led us. and it is the search for justice for trayvon that has brought us to this moment. the team here with me has worked tirelessly looking for answers in trayvon martin's death. i want to introduce to you one of my top homicide prosecutors, and john guide, my other top homicide investigator. also is jim madden from the florida department of law enforcement, dominic pate, our sheriff john rutherford. we appreciate so much all of their cooperation in this. i especially want6ii to thank m two investigators who have spent countless hours doing what they do best, investigating homicides. allow me to take a moment to acknowledge our governor, rick scott and his office, attorney general pam bondi, andç bobby o'neil for their continuing support of the appointment of this case and the support of the investigation. we spoke with all of them briefly and informed them of the results of our investigation and our plan as we continue. i can tell you we did not come to this decision lightly. this case is like a lot of the difficult cases we have handled for years here in our circuit. and we made this decision in the same manner. let me emphasize that we do not prosecute by public pressure or by petition. we prosecute based on the facts of any given case and the laws of the state of florida. when they appointed us to this case less than three weeks ago, i want you to know that these two fine prosecutors, despite all that is on their plate already, handling all of the homicides in the fourth judicial circuit and supervising the other young lawyers, they willingly took this case on and said they will lead this effort. we launched an intensive investigation building on all of the work that sanford police department and the state attorney's office in seminal county had already done. unless you have been a law enforcement officer or a prosecutor handling a difficult case, you cannot know what it's like to launch this type of investigation and come to the right conclusion. the supreme court has defined our role on numerous occasions that we're not only administerers of justice, butç seekers of truth. we prosecute on facts that the great and sovereign state of florida, and that's the way it will be in this case. when we took our oath of office in 2009, we pledged not only to look out for our precious victims of all of our cases, but also to adhere to the rules of the criminal justice system, and the rules of our constitution and statutes that protect a defendant's rights as well. when we charge a person with a crime, we are equally committed to justice on their behalf as we are on our victim's behalf. so we're here to do that on behalf of our victim, trayvon martin, and on behalf of the person responsible for his death, george zimmerman. we'll continue to seek the truth in this case. every day our prosecutors in this country have difficult cases and they adhere to the same standard. a quest to always do the right thing for the right reason. there is a reason cases are tried in the court of law, not in the court of the public and not by the media. because details have to come out in excruciating and minute fashion. it's only then when the trier of fact, a judge or a jury, getting all of those details, that then the laws applied to that and a decision can be rendered. we will adhere to our obligations and the rules of evidence in presenting this case that way. today, we filedç an inform charging george zimmerman for murder in the second degree. with the filing of that, he will have a right to appear in front of a mag strait in seminal county, and then formal prosecution will begin. we thank all of the people across the country that have sent positive energy and prayers our way. continue to pray for trayvon's family and our prosecution team. i want to thank mr. crump and parks who have stayed in touch daily with us on behalf of our victim's family. remember, it is trayvon's family that are our constitutional victims and who have the right to know the critical stages of these proceedings. ly entertain some questions, but remember we have strict rules of ethics and strict rules of criminal procedure and we will be adhering to those rules. >> one at a time. >> i will confirm that mr. zimmerman is indeed in custody. >> can you tell us where? >> i will not tell you where. that's for his safety and everyone else's safety. >> i'm sorry -- >> can you tell us what led to your decision today? was there one single piece of evidence? >> we don't discuss the evidence in a case, it would be improper to do so. it was a full investigation, full facts and circumstances that lead us to any decision in any case. >> did he turn himself in or was he arrested. >> he turned himself inç and w arrested on the capeous. >> remember, we need proof beyond a reasonable doubt. >> but it's been 45 days, you talk about the process, did you drop the ball on the investigation? >> i can tell you the investigation was under way by the sanford police department, the investigation was in full mode, and the governor appointed us less than three weeks ago, and we took the work they had done, which was significant, we carried on with that work, and we arrived at our decision approximately last week. and then, of course, following proper florida law and procedure, we had to make sure we had everything in place to issue this and make this arrest? >> yes, sir? >> can you tell us what it was about what you uncovered that lead you to refuse the self-defense claim. >> that's what will be in court, detail by detail, piece of evidence by piece of evidence, factual evidence, testimonial evidence, that's why we try cases in a courtroom. >> can you tell us if mr. zimmerman is in the state of florida, is there a bonding process under way. >> i can tell you that in seminal county, and i want to thank the chief judge, he informed us they have a bond schedule there. there is originally no bond, but that mr. zimmerman's lawyers will be)entitled to request a bond and then a hearing will be held. they are a common occurrence, and that's where that will be determined as to whether or not no bond, which is the bond set currently, will be changed by the court. yes, ma'am. >> have you determined whose voice is criming for help -- cr the 911 tape? >> why did it lead you to a second-degree murder charge? >> i don't believe that question is accurate in the sense that when you have a homicide, florida's jury instructions even say that before you can reach a degree of homicide, you have to determine whether a person has committed an excusable homicide or a justifiable homicide. all murders are homicides, but not all homicides are murders. and florida law clearly says that if there is an affirmative defense, like justifiable homicide, that should be determined before you go to the degree of the crime. the only slight delay was the fact that the governor stepped in and appointed us to take this case over and handle it and we did. >> if they had conducted a full investigation, do you believe sanford police would have arrived at the same conclusion? >> we worked together with our law enforcement officers here as you see. i have my sheriff and under sheriff here. we work with all of our law enforcement agencies where we 9ñ prosecutors are law enforcement as well and we work these with our investigating agencies and we try to come to as many mutual decisions as we can. this case informs that process when the governor stepped in and appointed us to take it over. we have continued to work with the sanford police department. we got full cooperation and all of those significant documents, and then bernie and john, and they're team took this over, and did a lot more work, and we came to our conclusion based on the facts and florida's law. yes, sir. >> yes, ma'am. the maximum sentence for second-degree murder be life in prison. is it your dire as the prosecutor of this case to see mr. zimmerman go to jail for life. >> we don't make that determination at this time. we get this case through the court system, and then and if it goes to the trier of fact is the judge or the jury, once there is a decision, then we would concern ourselves with the sentence. >> have you been contacted by mr. zimmerman. >> i have not been contacted, i think he has retained new council in the last couple of hours. >> when he turned himself in what was his demeanor. >> one of the specific things we're not allowed to discuss is the statements of a defendant charged with a crime. it's a constitutional protection that you should be happy that law enforcement affords every person charged with a crime. >> is mr.ç zimmerman -- >> i will not comment on where he is, he is in the custody of law enforcement officers in the state of florida, and he will be taken, when it's appropriate for the appropriate appearance in front of a judge. yes, sir? >> would norm wolffinger have arrived at the same decision? >> i speak for angela coreyis the decision we came to based on our review of the facts and evidence. i'm not sure they were through with the entire investigation at the point where mr. wolfinger excused himself from the case. we have to have -- there are pneumonia rus affirmative defense that's can be asserted before the arrest, immediately after the arrest, during the trial. we have had them come up in the middle of trial. my fellow prosecutors that his here we have all faced this before. alibi is an affirmative defense, sometimes that's put on us in the middle of a trial. it makes a prosecution more difficult. we do everything in our power to take the facts we have and prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. >> can i get your opinion for what the debate is about race and justice. in the pursuit of justice? >> i'm going to be quite honest with you, and i have some people who live through our justice system here and are some of the finest people in jacksonville, florida. they represent aç small samplef the pe

corey. >> good evening. i'm an je la corey, the special prosecutor for the trayvon martin case. moments ago, with spoke by phone with sabrina fulton and tracy martin. less than three months ago we told those sweet parents that we would get answers to all of their questions, no matter where our quest for the truth led us. there is a search for justice for trayvon, that brought to us this moment. the team with me worked tirelessly looking for answers in trayvon martin's death. i want to introduce bernie delarianda, one of my top homicide prosecutors, and john dyde, the other prosecutor who will lead this investigation. with us also is jim madden from the department of law enforcement. dominic pate, also a special agent in charge. sheriffs john rutherford and the other sheriff duane centerfit. we appreciate so much all of the cooperation in this. i want to thank my two state attorney investigators. who spent countless hours doing what they do best, investigating homicide. allow me to acknowledge the governor, rick scott and his office. attorney general pam bondi and the u.s. attorney bobby o'neil. for their continuing support of our appointment to this case and their support of this investigation. we have spoke with all of them briefly and informed them of the results of our investigation. and our plan as we continue. we did not come to the decision lightly. this is like a lot of cases we handled in the circuit for years. we made this decision in the same manner. let me emphasize we do not prosecute by public pressure or by petition. we prosecute based on the facts of any given case. as well as the laws of the state of florida. when they appointed to us this case less than three weeks ago i want you to know these two fine prosecutors despite all that is on their plate already, handling all the homicide in the fourth judicial circuit, is up vising other young lawyers also handle homicides they willingly took the case on and said we will lead this effort to seek justice for trayvon. we launched an intensive investigation, building on all of the work that the stanford police department and the state attorney's office and seminole county has already done. unless you have been a prosecutor handling a difficult homicide case you cannot know what it's like to launch this investigation and come to the right conclusion. the supreme court has defined our role on numerous occasions as prosecutors that we are not only administers of justice we are seekers of the truth. we stay true to that mission. when we took the oath in 2009 we promised to look out for the precious victim of the cases but adhere to the rules of the criminal justice system, and the rule of our constitution and statutes that protect a defendant's right as well. we are here to do it on trayvon and on the person responsible for his death george zimmerman. we will continue to seek the truth throughout the case. every day our prosecutors across the great country handle difficult cases and adhere to that same standard. never ending search for the truth and to always do the right things for the right reason. there is a reason cases are tried in the court of law, not in the public or the media. details have to come out in excruciating and minute fashion. detail by detail. bit of evidence by bit of evidence. other when a judge or jury gets the details that the law applies to that and a decision is rendered. we'll adhere to the ethical obligation and rule of evidence presenting this case that way. today we filed an information charging george zimmerman with murder in the second degree. habeus was issued for his arrest. with the piling of that information and the issuance of the case he will have a right to appear in front of a magistrate in seminole county in 24 hours of his arrest and thus formal prosecution will begin. we thank all of those people across this country who have sent positive energy and prayers our way. we have ask you to continue to pray for trayvon martin's family as well as for our prosecution team. i want to specially thank mr. cromp and mr. park who stayed in touch daily with us on behalf of the victim's family. remember, it was trayvon's family that are the constitutional victims and have the right to know the cit can stages of these proceedings. i will entertain questions but remember, we have strict rules of enicks and strict rule of criminal procedure and we'll adhere to the rules. [ inaudible ] >> i will confirm that george zimmerman is indeed in custod custody. i will not tell you where for his and everyone else's safety. [ inaudible ] >> we don't discuss the evidence. it would be improper to do so. the full investigation, full fact and circumstances that leads us to any decision in any case. [ inaudible question ] >> mr. zimmerman turned himself in. by turning himself in was arrested on the warrant issue issued. [ inaudible ] it didn't take long. we had many complicated homicides that are thoroughly investigated. remember, the prosecutor's burden under our constitution is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. >> it took 45 days since trayvon was killed. [ inaudible ] >> well -- [ inaudible ] >> i can tell you that this investigation was underway by both the sanford police department and norm wolfinger's office. the investigation was in full mode. the governor appointed us less than three weeks ago. we took the work they had done, which was significant. we carried on with that work. we arrived at our decision approximately last week. following proper florida law and procedure we had to make sure we had everything in place to issue to make the arrest. yes, sir. i'm sorry. yes, sir. >> can you tell us what it was about what you uncovered that led you to recuse the defense under -- [ inaudible ] >> that is what will be in court. detail by detail. piece of evidence by piece of evidence. factual evidence, physical and testimonial evidence. that's why we try cases in a courtroom. >> can you tell us mr. zimmerman is in the state of florida or oregon -- >> the special prosecutor in florida, appointed by the governor to look into the case of the killing of trayvon martin. the 17-year-old unarmed teenager killed on february 26. in sanford, florida, 25 miles northeast of orlando. killed by george zimmerman. the neighborhood watch commander. he is charged, zimmerman is tonight, with second-degree murder. 45 days after that killing. zimmerman insists that he was acting in self-defense. and that he was attacked by martin. who punched him in the nose and slammed his head in the ground. zimmerman told police he acted in self-defense. in florida, there is such a thing called stand your ground law which you heard angela coreyake a question about. let's get to some analysis of this from on the record host greta van susteren. thank you for being here. the preamble took a while but we got to second degree murder, the charge in this case. >> a little bit of -- we got a lecture in what the job of a prosecutor is, and shouldn't tried in the media. i suppose we all know that and if it's helpful maybe she wanted to tell everybody that. this is predictable. murder in the second degree. prosecutors would charge the more serious offense if they can under the circumstances. this is not, she is not saying there is enough evidence -- she is not the jury. he has not been convicted. there is enough evidence to charge him with the second-degree murder. it may be it goes to trial and he is convict of murder in the second degree, convicted of something in a lesser degree like manslaughter or found not guilty. this is simply the charging stage by a prosecutor. so this is the beginning. unfortunately, it's had a torturtortuous

corey. i'm reading it as i see it. angela corey is preparing to release new information regarding the trayvon martin shooting death investigation. issue notice within the next 72 hours miss corey will hold a conference regarding the case. media will receive notification. >> no surprise there. >> what does that tell you, sunny? >> it tells me she's concerned about this new development. >> you think this is in relationship to that development or in relation to the -- whether or not there's an arrest warrant? >> it would very well be that the investigation is completed, but it could well be that she's watching the media just like everyone else. that she watched that press conference and is now perhaps concerned about george zimmerman's safety, about george zimmerman's mental state and about whether or not he's going to flee this country. and flee this jurisdiction. >> mark, do you think that relates to that? >> i'm telling you, sunny, this is one of the few times that i agree with you wholeheartedly. this is exactly -- it's like you're telegraphing to the prosecutor, i don't have control over this guy. i don't know where he is. he's a flight risk. i don't know. you're asking ande

corey and we're going go live to the press conference right now. >> i'm angela corey, the special prosecutor for the trayvon martin case. just moments ago, we spoke by phone with sabrina fulton and tracy martin. it was less than three weeks ago that we told those sweet parents we would get answers to all of their questions, no matter where our quest for the truth led us. it's the search for justice for trayvon that has brought us to this moment. and the team here with me has worked tirelessly looking for answers in trayvon martin's death. i want to introduce to you berniedela rionda, one of my top homicide prosecutors and john dye, my other top prosecutor who will lead this investigation. with us also is jim madden, from the florida department of law enforcement, dominic tate, also one of our special agents in charge, our sheriff john rutherford and undersheriff dwayne centerfit. we appreciate so much all of their cooperation in this. i especially want to thank my two state attorney investigators who have spent countless hours doing what they do best, investigating homicides. oh, excuse me, allow me to take a moment to acknowledge our governor rick scott and his office, attorney general pam bondi and her office, along with our u.s. attorney bobby o'neil, for their continuing support of our appointment to this case and their support of the investigation. we spoke with all of them briefly and informed them of the results of our investigation and our plan as we continue. i can tell you we did not come to this decision lightly. this case is like a lot of the difficult cases we have handled for years here in our circuit, and we have made this decision in the same manner. let me emphasize we don't prosecute by public pressure or by petition. we prosecute based on the facts of any given case, as well as the laws of the state of florida. when they appointed us to this case less than three weeks ago, i want you to know that these two fine prosecutors, despite all that is on their plate already, handling all of the homicides in the fourth judicial district, supervising the other young lawyers who handle homicides, they willingly took this case on and said we will lead this effort to seek justice for trayvon. we launched an intensive investigation building on all of the work that sanford police department and the state attorney's office in seminole count he already done. unless you have ever been a law enforcement officer or a prosecutor handling a difficult homicide case, you can not know what it's like to launch this type of investigation and come to the right conclusions. the supreme court defined our role on numerous occasions as prosecutors that we're not only ministers of justice but seekers of the truth, and we stay true to that mission. again, we prosecute on facts and the laws of the great and sovereign state of florida and that is the way it will be in this case. when we took our oath of office in 2009, we pledged not only to look out for our precious victims of all of our case, but also to adhere to the rules of the criminal justice system and the rules of our constitution and statutes that protect a defend's right as well when we charge a person with a crime, we are equally committed to just ice their behalf, as we are on our victims' behalf. we are here to do that on behalf of our victim, trayvon martin, and on behalf of the person responsible for his death, george zimmerman. we will continue to seek the truth throughout this case. every single day our prosecutors across the great country handled difficult cases, and they adhere to that same standard. a never-ending search for the truth and a quest to always do the right thing for the right reason. there is a reason cases are tried in a court of law. not in the court of the public. and not by the media. because details have to come out in excruciating and minute fashion. detail-by-details, a bit of evidence by bit of evidence. and it's only then when the tryer of fact, whether it's a judge or jury, gets all of the details that then the laws apply to that and a decision can be rendered. and we will scrupulously adhere to the evidence and presenting this case today. today, we filed an information charging george zimmerman with murder in the second-degree. a tap -- habeus is issued for his arrest. with the filing of the information, he will have a right to appear in front of magistrate in seminole county within 24 hours of his arrest and, us this, formal prosecution will begin. we thank all of those people across the country who have sent positive energy and prayers our way. we ask to you continue to pray for trayvon's family and for our prosecution team. i want to especially thank mr. crump and mr. park who have stayed in touch daily with us on behalf of our victim's family. remember, it's trayvon's family that are our constitutional victims and have the right to know the critical stages of these proceedings. i will entertain some questions but, remember, we have very strict rules of ethics, very strict rules of criminal procedure, and we'll be adhering to those rules. [ overlapping speakers ] >> one at a time. >> i will confirm that mr. zimmerman is indeed, in custody. [ overlapping speakers ] >> i will not tell you where. that is for his safety and everyone else's safety. [ question indicernible ] >> i'm sorry? [ question indicernible ] -- was there one single piece of evidence that led to you charge him to murder in the second degree? >> we don't discuss the case. it would be improper to do so. it was a full investigation, full facts and circumstances that lead us to any decision in any case. [ overlapping speakers ] >> i'm sorry. >> did he turn himself in or arrested? >> mr. zimmerman turned himself in and by turning himself in, was arrested on the capeus that was already issued. [ overlapping speakers ] >> why did it take so long to come to this decision? >> it didn't take long. >> many complicated homicides thoroughly investigated. remember, the prosecutor's burden under our constitution is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. >> it took 45 days since trayvon martin was killed. can you talk about the -- [ indiscernible ] and did you drop the ball on the investigation? >> ky tell you this investigation was underway by the sanford police department and the investigation was in full mode. and the governor appointed us less than three weeks ago and we took the work that they had done, which was significant. we carried on with that work and arrived at our decision. approximately last week and then, of course, following proper florida law and procedure, we had to make sure we had everything in place to issue this capeus and make this arrest. yes, sir. i'm sorry. yes, sir. [ overlapping speakers ] >> can you tell us what it was about what you uncovered that leads him to recuse himself -- . >> and that is what will be in court. detail-by-detail, piece of evidence by piece of evidence. factual evidence, physical evidence, testimonial evidence. that is why we try cases in a courtroom. >> mr. zimmerman in the state of florida, is there a bonding process underway? >> i can tell you in seminole county, and i want to thank the chief judge, he was kind in helping us start setting the procedures up last week, he informed us that they have a bond schedule there. and when a capeus is issued, there is originally no bond and that mr. zimmerman's lawyers will be entitled to request a bond, at which point a bond hearing will be held. the bond hearings are a common occurrence. our lawyers handle them every day and that is where that like determine said as to whether or not, no bond, the bond set currently on the capeus will be changeed by the court. yes, ma'em. >> you have determined -- crying for help on the 911 report something. >> that would be commenting on the facts of the case and we're not going to do that at this time. yes, catherine. >> your investigation led you to second-degree murder charge. where a dangerous police investigation ended in no arrest. >> i don't believe that question is accurate in the sense that when you have a homicide, florida's jury instructions even say that before you can reach a degree of homicide, you have to determine whether a person commuted an excusable homicide or a justifiable homicide. al murders are homicides but not all murders are -- homicides are murders. florida's law clearly said if there is the affirmative defense of, for example, excusable homicide or justifiable homicide, that should be determined before you go to the degree of the crime. that is the process this case took and the only sleet delay was the fact that the governor stepped in and a pointed us to take the case over and handle it and we did. [ question indicernible ] -- conducted a full investigation. you believe stanford police arrived at that point in vow? >> we work together with our law enforcement officers here and i have my sheriffs and undersheriff here and we work with all of our law enforcement agencies where we try to work the cases together. remember, prosecutors are law enforcement as well and we work the cases with our investigating agencies and try to come to as many mutual decisions as we can and this case was in that process when the governor stepped in and appointed us to take over. we have continued to work with the sanford police department. we have full cooperation and all of those significant documents and roars from mr. willfinger's office and bernie and john and their team took this over and did more work. we came to our conclusion based on the facts and florida's law. yes, sir. >> obviously maximum sentence of second-degree murder would be life in prison s. it your desire as the prosecutor of this case to see him go to life, mr. zimmerman. >> we don't make that determination at this time. we're committed to getting the case through the court system and then and if it goes to the judge, the tryer fact of the jury, once there is a decision, we would concern ourselves with the sentence. i'm sorry. go ahead [ question indiscernible ] >> reporter: have not personally been contacted. he may have retained new council in the past few hours. >> did he hurt themselves then? did he have anything to say? >> if he did, i wouldn't be able to comment on it. one of the specific things we can't discuss are the statements of the defendant charged with a crime. against -- again, it's a constitutional protection that you should all be happy law enforcement affords every person charged with a crime. yes, sir. i'm sorry. >> mr. zimmerman -- . >> i can will not tell you where he s. he is in the custody of law enforcement officers in the state of florida, and he will be taken when it's appropriate for the appropriate appearance in front of a j. [ question indicernible ] >> yes, sir. >> would they have arrived at the same conclusion, is that what you saying in. >> i speak for angela corey and my prosecution team. this is the conclusion that we came to based on our review of the facts and evidence. >> let me rephrase that. >> i am not sure they were through with the entire investigation at the point mr. willfinger recused himself from the case. >> do you have the evidence for a conviction? >> we have too have a reasonable certainty of convict before filing charges. any time there is a affirmative defense and there are numerous affirmative defenses that can be asserted before the arrest, immediately after the arrest, during the trial. we have had them come up in the the middle of trial, haven't we? my fellow prosecutors that sit here. we have all faced this before. for example, alibi is an affirmative defense. sometimes that gets put on us in the middle of the trial and when that defense makes the criminal prosecution more difficult, we do everything in our power to take the facts at hand and prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. yes, sir. >> get your opinions what -
