POLL: Should George Zimmerman Be Arrested?

The neighborhood watch captain fatally shot an unarmed teen in Florida, who he says attacked him.

Since the slaying of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teen in Florida several weeks ago by the captain of a neighborhood watch, the nation has been pondering how it could have happened.

George Zimmerman, the man who pulled the trigger, has never been arrested, despite outrage from , athletes, celebrities and politicians. Even President Obama has weighed in.

Zimmerman is free in part because of Florida's controversial Stand Your Ground law, which give greater legal leeway to people--like Zimmerman--who claim they acted in self-defense.
