George Zimmerman can count down the hours of freedom he has left … because the neighborhood watch volunteer will finally be charged today for the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

According to various confirmed reports, Florida special prosecutor Angela Corey plans to officially announce the charges this afternoon. It is not immediately clear what charges Zimmerman will face.

NBC reports the charges will be announced at a 6 p.m. EST news conference.

The prosecutor’s ruling comes just a day after Zimmerman’s lawyers withdrew from his case.

Looks like justice may be served after all….
