        Prosecutors in High-Profile Florida Murder Trial Close Arguments

   Prosecutors in Florida have completed their closing arguments against
   Hispanic George Zimmerman, who is charged with killing a black teenager
   last year.
   The defense for Zimmerman will give closing arguments Friday, and then
   the prosecution will have one more chance at rebuttal. Jurors could
   begin deliberating that same day.
   Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder.
   He saw 17-year-old Trayvon Martin while driving in his neighborhood and
   called police. A fight ensued after the neighborhood watch volunteer
   got out of his vehicle that ended in Zimmerman shooting Martin.
   Zimmerman claims the shooting was in self defense, with Martin slamming
   his head into the concrete pavement as he fired his gun. The
   prosecution claims Zimmerman profiled the teen and assumed he was up to
   no good.
