According to the Washington Post:
Florida special prosecutor Angela Corey plans to announce as early as Wednesday afternoon that she is charging neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, according to a law enforcement official close to the investigation.
It was not immediately clear what charge Zimmerman will face.
I’ll update this post as more information becomes available.
UPDATE 2:54pm: Special Prosecutor, Angela Corey, will hold a press conference at 6 pm.
