Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the teenager's death. He has claimed he acted in self-defense.

Zimmerman opened up about what happened the night of Martin's death and his experience in the aftermath of the fatal shooting. 

When asked to explain what he meant when he told a police dispatcher he was following Martin, Zimmerman said he was trying to keep an eye on him to tell police.
 
Zimmerman says very shortly after he got out of his car, Martin was right next to him. Zimmerman says he looked down to try to find his cellphone and when he looked up, Martin punched him and broke his nose.
 
He says as the two were struggling, Martin said "you're going to die tonight." He says Martin also reached for the gun that Zimmerman always carries.

Zimmerman says he prays daily for the parents of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.  "My wife and I don't have any children... I love my children even though they aren't born yet, and I am sorry that they buried their child. I can't imagine what it must feel like, and I pray for them daily."

Additionally, Zimmerman's defense attorney Mark O'Mara answers questions regarding his client's case and rumors circulating about the bail donations and hidden money.
