the team here with me has worked tirelessly, being looing for -- looking for answers in trayvon martin's death. i want to introduce to you tracy one of my top prosecutors, and john guy, my other top homicide prosecutor, who will lead this investigation. with us also is jim madden, from the florida department of law enforcement, dominic pate, also one of our special agents inside. our sheriff, john rutherford and undersheriff, duane. we appreciate so much all of their cooperation in this. and i especially want to thank my two state attorney investigators who have spent countless hours doing what they do best, investigating homicides. excuse me. allow me to take a moment to acknowledge our governor, rick scott and his office. attorney general pam bondy and her office, and the u.s. attorney general bobby neil for their continued support of this case and this investigation. we spoke with all of them briefly and informed them of the results of our investigation and our plan as we continue. i can tell you, we did not come to this decision lightly. this case is like a lot of the difficult cases we have handled for years here in our circuit. ask we have made this decision in the same manner. let me emphasize that we do not prosecute by public pressure or by petition. we prosecute based on the facts of any given case, as well as the laws of the state of florida. when they appointed us to this case less than three weeks ago, i want you to know that these two fine prosecutors, despite all that is on their plate lawyer, haming all -- already, handling all of the homicides in the district, supervising the other young lawyers who also handle homicides, they willingly took this case on and said, we will lead this effort to seek justice for trayvon. we launched an intensive investigation, building on all of the work that sanford police department and the state attorney's office in seminole county had already done. unless you've ever been a law enforcement officer or prosecutor handling a difficult homicide case, you cannot know what it's like to launch this type of investigation and come to the right conclusion. the supreme court has defined our role on numerous occasions as prosecutors, that we are not only ministers of justice, we are seekers of the truth. and we stay true to that mission. again, we prosecute on facts and the laws was great and sovereign state of florida. and that's the way it will be in this case. when we took our oath of office in 2009, we pledged not only to look out for our precious victims of all of our cases, but also to adhere to the rules of the criminal justice system and the rules of our constitution and statutes that protect a defendant's rights as well. when we charge a person with a crime, we are equally committed to justice on their behalf, as we are on our victim's behalf. so we are here to do that, on behalf of our victim, trayvon martin, and on behalf of the person responsible for his death, george zimmerman. we will continue to seek the truth throughout this case. every single day, our prosecutors across this great country, handle difficult cases. and they adhere to that same standard, a never-ending search for the truth, and a quest to always do the right thing for the right reason. there is a reason cases are tried in the court of law, not in the court of the public and not by the media. because details have to come out in excruciating and minute fashion. detail by detail, bit of evidence by bit of evidence. and it's only then when the tryer of fact, whether it's a judge or a jury, gets all of those details that then the laws apply to -- law is applied to that and a decision can be rendered. we will scriewmulously adhere to our ethical obligations in presenting this case that way. today, we filed an information, charging george zimmerman with murder in the second degree. a capeias has been issued for his arrest. with the filing of that information and the issuance of a capeiance, he will have the right to appear before a magistrate in seminole county within 22 hours of his arrest. and thus, formal prosecution will begin. we thank all of the people across this country who have sent positive energy and prayers our way. we ask you to continue to pray for trayvon's family. i want to especially thank mr. crump and mr. parks who have stayed in touch daily with us on behalf of our victim and his family. remember, it is trayvon's family who are constitutional victims and who have the right to know the critical stages of these proceedings. i will entertain some questions, but remember, we have very strict rules of ethics, very strict rules of criminal procedure, and we will be adhering to those rules. >> all right. you have been listening to the special prosecutor in sanford, florida. she announced as we reported earlier, that george zimmerman has been charged with second- degree murder in the death of trayvon martin. and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. we'll give you any new gun -- new updates throughout this newscast as they occur the. a verdict in the trial of brothers accused of setting a dog on fire. wjz is live at the courthouse. weijia jiang has reaction to it. >> reporter: well, vic, it only took jurors an hour to reach a not-guilty verdict. one man tells us, they were convinced someone set the dog on fire. but the state did not show it was the brothers. >> reporter: 20-year-old twins travers and tremain johnson, visibly relieved, after a jury finds them not guilty of setting a pit bull puppy on fire. their mother speaks out for the first time ever. >> i am feeling very proud. very, very proud. i knew my boys didn't have nothing to do with that. i'm very, very happy. >> reporter: the brothers were tried once before in this case. that ended with a hung jury in february 2011. a single holdout could not be convinced to convict almost the complete opposite outcome this time. it only took jurors an hour to clear the johnsons. >> it is what it is, you know? you can only go by what you see. you can't go by what someone says. so the court of law is not what you know you can prove. >> reporter: the state may have fallen apart, when a star witness refused to testify. and there was no dna fingerprints or forensic evidence recovered from the scene. prosecutors relied heavily on police surveillance video they say showed the johnsons running away from the fire. but jurors say they couldn't tell who was on the tape. >> and it seems like the whole city said they were guilty. and now, today, by reason of 12, they were not guilty. >> reporter: animal activists were tearful, saying there is no justice for the puppy, nicknamed phoenix. >> justice denied does not mean good does not come of something. and the jury last time was incredibly different than this jury. there's been a circus atmosphere in this courtroom for 2 1/2 weeks, which doesn't lend itself to justice. >> reporter: advocates called it a circus because throughout the entire trial, jurors were falling asleep. and others were laughing. the state's attorney issued a statement to say he respects their decision but he is disappointed.

until now, the state has been able to avoid deep cuts to public safety and health care. but now, cuts are coming across the board. >> reporter: the 2013 budget was the governor's list of things to do. >> we failed to do those things. >> reporter: $242 million budgeted for public education, including $33 million in baltimore alone. failed. >> we also failed our law enforcement officers on the front lines of reducing violent crime and saving lives. >> reporter: $20 million in police aid and other grants, failed. >> so sadly, the operating budget was pretty much the low point in my experience here. >> reporter: funding budgeted for higher education. state agency operations, jobs and pay raises. a combined $250 million failed. >> which is really a damn shame. >> it's a concern for me. >> reporter: a concern shared by county executives statewide. >> puts us at risk of moving in the wrong direction. >> unfortunately, we're taking ape step back. >> the senate president feels otherwise. >> we didn't fail anybody. >> reporter: senate president mike miller expects a special session to avoid the cut. >> it's up to the governor, honestly. the governor is not a happy camper right now.

after a second 8.2 quake hit just hours after the first one. >> aftershocks will go on for beaks or months. -- weeks or months. maybe as low as years. you wouldn't expect any more aftershocks this big. >> reporter: indonesia remains on high alert. but the president says there are no reports of death or serious damage. monica villamiczar, wjz eyewitness news. >> first warning weather coverage continues with tim williams in the weather center. to explain why this did not trigger a tsunami. >> reporter: the first one we mentioned struck along a segment, a crack on the earth of the sea floor. a second trembler, 8.2 magnitude quake struck around two hours later, roughly 120 miles south of the first quake's epicenter. both quakes occurred at roughly shallow deaths. one at 14 miles, the other 10 miles beneath the sea floor. now, the reason no tsunami was created was the direction of the earth's movement. this is caused by a strike, slip, fall. this means that the plates usually fall side by side, rather than radically police placing the water. so it really didn't change the motion of the ocean, so to speak in this case. but we'll continue to keep you posted on the aftershocks. and

apology? >> an apology would be nice. but i don't see an apology coming any time soon, to be honest. >> reporter: it's almost unheard of for the board to take this kind of action. the board urged them

deadee weapon. >> our school board has been ridiculous to anyone with common sense. >> reporter: it was traumatic for students and their families, but they've learned from the ordeal. >> i'll never
