    For all who care-

    10:22AM EDT October 17. 2012 - A Florida judge Wednesday set a June 10, 2013, date for the trial of George Zimmerman on charges of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, USA TODAY's Yamiche Alcindor reports.

    The unarmed 17-year-old was killed in February as he was walking in a gated Sanford community toward his father's house.

    Zimmerman, 29, has pleaded not guilty on grounds of self defense.

    Zimmerman and his wife Shellie, 25, are living in hiding in Seminole County awaiting trial.

    She is charged with perjury for allegedly lying at her husband's first bond hearing regarding the family's finances.

    Judge Debra Nelson, who was presiding over the case for the first time Wednesday since being appointed, pressed prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda and Zimmerman attorney Mark O'Mara for timing before determining that June would be an appropriate month.

    "June makes sense because it gives us a target date," O'Mara said shortly after the hearing. "I have no idea between now and then if we'll be ready. We're going to try to be ready."

    O'Mara told the judge that the trial would most likely last three weeks. De la Rionda agreed.

    O'Mara added that the defense is in the middle of taking depositions and is trying to gather all the information and discovery the prosecution has.

    Attorneys for both sides will be back in court Friday to discuss discovery issues, subpoenas for Trayvon's school records, and motions by the news media to keep the facts of the case public, USA TODAY's Alcindor adds.

    The State will have to make it past the immunity hearing without it's case coming apart. It is now coming unravelled with the defense's motions.

    No preliminary exam to determine if there is enough evidence to proceed to trial?

    O'Mara and West have detected some funny business with the evidence. There is still no proof that DD was on the phone with TM that night. The "chain of custody" request filed by O'Mara had to do with the DD recording Crump had. There was also a report on the phone found at the scene that the State didn't include in release.

    Is there where the prosecution has to admit that they cannot prove that Zimmerman attacked Trayvon?

    Awww, so the thug wasnt even on the phone with the girl- which Lawyer does Zimmermans brother want disbarred? Its going to be so awesome if he was never on the phone with Crystal Mangums daughter. I wonder who will go down for that lie? Hopefully the lying loser crip tripping father of Trayvon Martin- I love how the article says Trayvon was going back to HIS DADS HOUSE- wonder if thats true now and Tracy Martin bought Brandys condo?

    Nasty Natalie Jackson is the one Robert was referring to but I hear O'Mara will depose them all. There isn't anything yet showing TM was actually on the phone with DD there is only what Crump a dump has produced. There was also a report from a cop who examined the phone's SIM card. The State gave O'Mara a copy of that but O'Mara also got a copy from the cop who made the report. They are not the same. Now O'Mara wants to know why these reports are different. I hope Angela Corey goes down for this one. She has no business being where she is.

    RP, did you know Brandy is a correctional officer at a juvenile detention center. I wonder how her and Tracy met? LOL! The word is Brandy is preggers with another one of Tracy's spawns. When the baby is born will it already be on parole?

    Oh, and you know they will name the sweet child TrayVon! Awww! That is so sweet! Maybe Sybrina can be the god mom? That child should be born and given to a family who can care for a child.
