STORY: The trial of George Zimmerman got off to a dramatic start in Sanford, Florida on Monday (June 24) with the prosecution starting their opening statements by quoting obscenities used by Zimmerman as he trailed 17-year old Trayvon Martin before fatally shooting him last February.
"Good Morning. 'F--king punks. These a--holes always get away.' Those were the words in that grown man's mouth as he followed in the dark a 17-year old boy who he didn't know. Excuse my language but those were his words, not mine," said Assistant State Attorney John Guy who presented the opening statement for the prosecution.
Both sides will present opening statements on Monday with lawyers outlining the basic facts in the case, and what they believe the evidence will show.
This follows two weeks of jury selection which ended last week with a panel of six female juror
