Tentative June trial set in Trayvon Martin case

SANFORD, Fla. — A judge set a tentative trial date next year for a neighborhood watch volunteer charged with fatally shooting Trayvon Martin.

In her first hearing since taking over the case, Judge Debra S. Nelson said June 10 would be the start of George Zimmerman’s trial, though the date could change as both sides prepare for what is expected to be a three-week trial.
