George Zimmerman has been taken into custody and will face criminal charges in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, officials told NBC News.
Neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who is set to face second-degree murder charges in the death of an unarmed black teen, will plead not guilty at his first court appearance scheduled for Thursday at 1:30 p.m., his lawyer said.
