Hmmm sounds like the prosecutor is grasping at straws.
Anything to get him into prison....she has her orders.
The judge’s cajoling of Zimmerman ought to be grounds for a mistrial.
Someone mentioned today that in florida that manslaughter inclusion is automatic. There is nothing for the judge to consider unless she’s thinking of making it a parking violation.
But the self defense plea has the same veracity for manslaughter. If he’s not guilty of murder due to a persuasive self defense plea, he’s not guilty of manslaughter.
What the jury does NOT know and will not find out is if they convict Zimmerman of manslaughter he serves life in prison..because there was a gun used and the “Victim” was under the age of 18 its automatic 30 year sentence
I agree.
Anything to get him into prison....she has her orders.

Nailed it!
Oh, I’m so surprised to hear that. /sarc
I say we charge the Judge.
What about Aggravated Assault? That was the other charge mentioned in the article.
Watch her be invited to the Honky Hut for dinner afterwards...
“Sentence first, verdict later!”
That used to be a joke.
Of course she’s gonna give a lesser charge instruction to this jury. The fix is in, she knows there’s noway to get a Guilty on 2nd degree so she’ll throw a life raft to the prosecution and add a lesser charge, however, it shouldn’t be added.
littering?
i pray the jury does their job and sees the state hasn’t done anything to disrove zimmerman’s account beyond reasonable doubt, and that everything including most state witnesses - and all critical one - corroborate zimmerman’s account, plus the evidence does too.
occam’s razor.

Yep
On one level it’s sort of funny to watch this judge act pro prosecution. I’m guessing it’s a first for her. I have a feeling she will be stepping down from the bench in about 18 months. It will be quiet, but she will be gone.
Making it easier to convict.Those are the latest orders from Martin’s “Dad” in DC.Convict him of aggravated jaywalking and,because of some obscure 1879 law in Florida he can be sentenced to 20 years.
