A Florida judge on Tuesday rejected a bid by George Zimmerman to delay his June trial for the murder of unarmed, black teenager Trayvon Martin, whom he shot and killed a year ago this month.
Before the ruling, Judge Debra Nelson set aside several full days of court time for Zimmerman's defense attorney and prosecutors to bring issues before the court, but most of that time had gone unused.
