Zimmerman lawyers want words like "profiled" banned at trial

Mark O'Mara, defense attorney for George Zimmerman is asking a Florida judge to prevent what he calls inflammatory words and terms from being used at trial.

O'Mara says he is worried about jury prejudice.

The words include "profiled" and "vigilante," along with the phrases including "wannabe cop" and "he confronted Trayvon Martin."

Zimmerman is charged with second degree murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last spring.

Jury selection is set to begin next week.
