George Zimmerman Not Arrested for 44 Days After Killing Trayvon Martin

George Zimmerman was not arrested for 44 days after killing Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012. Sanford police cited Florida's 'Stand Your Ground' law. The Martin family's attorney Benjamin Crump, along with civil rights leaders Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, organized national pressure that led to State Attorney Angela Corey filing second-degree murder charges on April 11, 2012.
