UPDATE: (AP) A law enforcement official says the special prosecutor, Angela Corey, in the Trayvon Martin Case will announce criminal charges against George Zimmerman at 3 PM Pacific Time on Wednesday.
Because Corey announced that she wouldn't take the case to a grand jury, first degree murder is not an option.
Zimmerman has asserted since the Feb. 26 killing that he shot the 17-year-old in self-defense after the two fought. The case has sparked protests and calls for Zimmerman's arrest.
A factor in the pace of the probe has been Florida's so-called stand your ground law, which gives people wide latitude to claim self-defense in a killing and other altercations.
