Zimmerman jury selection, questioning continues

SANFORD, Fla. — Jury selection has resumed in the trial of the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with fatally shooting Trayvon Martin.

The first potential juror facing questions Tuesday was a middle-aged white man who said he didn't think Florida's stand your ground law was necessary since there already were self-defense laws.

George Zimmerman is claiming self-defense. He has pleaded innocent to second-degree murder.

The law allows a person to invoke self-defense if they feel a fatal shooting is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm.

Attorneys have only questioned a handful of jurors so far.
