George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain who fatally shot 17 year old Trayvon Martin, is finally going to trial.

"We are relieved that the trial is starting and that we will be able to seek justice for Trayvon." said Tracy Martin.

Tracy's son , Trayvon, was killed on Febrary 26, 2012 after being spotted by Zimmerman on his way home.

While both sides agree that Zimmerman killed the unarmed teen, his motive for the murder is up for debate.

Zimmerman's team claim that neighborhood watch captain was acting in self-defense.

Prosecutors believe that Zimmerman racially profiled the teen and ignored orders to leave the scene.

If Zimmerman is charged with second degree murder, he will spend the rest of his life in prison.

George Zimmerman, the man who killed Trayvon Martin, asked for a new judge on Friday.

Lawyers for Zimmerman accused Judge Kenneth Lester of being biased and giving 'a personal opinion' during a July 5 bond hearing.

"In doing so, the court has created a reasonable fear in Mr. Zimmerman that this court is biased against him and because of this prejudice he cannot receive a fair and impartial trail or hearing by this court," the statement said.

Zimmerman's legal team requested a new judge in April after finding that the presiding judge's husband was asked to join his defense team.

George Zimmerman, the man who killed Trayvon Martin, has been released from jail.

Zimmerman was released one day on $1 million bond after a judge determined that his actions were not enough to hold him without bail.

His original bond of $150,000 was revoked after prosectors proved that he and his wife lied about thier finances.

"We we hoping the bail would be considerably less than what it was. And we will take the judge's comments to heart but we don't neccesarily agree with him and we will decide what's next," said Zimmerman's attorney Don West.

Trayvon Martin's parents spoke to media about Zimmerman's release.

"As we said from the beginning we have stong faith in God," said Trayvon's father, Tracy Martin. "And we'll continue to lean on God and ask him to give us the faith in the justice system, and justice will prevail."

Judge Kenneth Lester, the man who is overseeing the Trayvon Martin case, set a $1 million bond for George Zimmerman on Thursday.

Zimmerman's original $150,000 bond was revoked after prosecutors proved that Zimmerman and his wife lied about their finances.

Lester is certain that Zimmerman took advantage of the system, but he does not believe it is enough to hold him without bail.

The court order states: "The court has, thus far,declined to exercise its contempt powers and the state failed to prove that the defendant be held without bond."

The court said that Zimmerman has the money needed for his release.

Shellie Zimmerman, wife of George Zimmerman, was arrested on Tuesday.

She was charged with perjury after prosecution claimed she lied about her husband's finances.

George Zimmerman, the man who fatally shot Trayvon Martin earlier this year, had his bond revoked after proof of perjury surfaced.

The Zimmerman's led the court to believe that their funds were limited despite having $135,000 hidden in a PayPal fundraising account.

Shellie Zimmerman was booked at a county jail and released on a $1,000 bond.

George Zimmerman, the man charged with the murder of Trayvon Martin, has two days to report to jail.

Kenneth R. Lester Jr., a Florida judge, revoked Zimmerman's bond after prosecutors claimed that Zimmerman and his wife lied about their finances.

During a bond hearing in April, Zimmerman's wife claimed they had limited funds.

Later, prosecutors discovered that Zimmerman's donation website earned $135,000 at the time of the hearing.

"This court was led to believe they didn't have a single penny," said prosecutor Bernie De la Rionda. "It was misleading and I don't know what words to use other than it was a blatant lie."

In April, Zimmerman was charged with second degree murder for the death of Trayvon Martin. His trial is not expected to begin until sometime next year.

According to ABC News, medical reports have been released proving that George Zimmerman did have injuries after fatally shooting 17 year old Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman told police that he shot Martin after being punched in the face and having his head slammed against pavement.

Medical reports show that Zimmerman was diagnosed with a broken nose, black eyes, and two lacerations on the back of his head.

These records could be used to back Zimmerman's claim of self-defense, but prosecutors are likely to claim that the injuries are the result of a teenage boy fighting for his life.

Richard Myers, former chief of the Plymouth Police Department, is the new interim police chief in Sanford, Florida.

Sanford made the news after Trayvon Martin, a black teenager, was fatally shot by a white neighborhood watch captain.

The watch captain, also known as George Zimmerman, has since been charged with second degree murder.

Myers has promised an "A to Z" review of the departments' actions concerning the Trayvon Martin case.
