“Viewpoint” host Eliot Spitzer; Kenneth Nunn, professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law; and Jenée Desmond-Harris, staff writer for The Root, review the news that George Zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, as announced by Florida special prosecutor Angela Corey. Nunn breaks down the difference between first- and second-degree murder charges, and outlines the timeline for the trial moving forward. But Desmond-Harris astutely adds that, “Lay people don’t need to know all the nuances of second-degree murder and first-degree murder. What they know is that an unarmed child was killed and that they want to see justice served.”
