2. Trayvon Martin updates

Zimmerman is in police custody in Florida and has been charged with second-degree murder

Prosecutors plan to prove he shot Trayvon with malice, but not premeditation

Zimmerman plans to plead not guilty and faces up to life in prison if convicted

Bill Cosby said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that the debate should focus on guns, not race

Said there is a need to get guns off the streets and that people should be taught to use every possible alternative before shooting someone

Cosby said the bigger question was what Zimmerman was doing with a gun and who taught him how to behave with it
