George Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch volunteer acquitted in a fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager in 2013, was charged with aggravated assault on Saturday after his arrest in connection with a domestic disturbance in Florida.
A Florida jury found Michael Dunn, a middle-aged white man, guilty of first-degree murder on Wednesday in the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager in an argument over loud rap music.
A CNN legal analyst said that although Michael Dunn was not convicted of the murder charge filed against him for the death of minor Jordan Davis, the Florida state prosecutor's office could pursue a new trial if the victim's family feel that Davis' reputation has been besmirched during the initial trial.
The road to amend the current self-defense law of the state of Florida has hit a setback when Michael Dunn was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder for fatally shooting minor Jordan Davis. USA Today underscored the fact that the charge against Dunn was made on the day of Trayvor Martin's birthday.
