Someone reporting on the trial mentioned a minority woman on the jury.

Yep. Zimmerman is screwed. The Obama thugs one again and always with the help of the dumb so-called Republicans. The Governor of Florida is the one who unleashed this she-beast against Zimmerman in the first place after HIS OWN STATE POLICE FORCE REFUSED TO INDICT. And why? Some bussed in protestors from the Just Us Department?
What a farce.

Manslaughter charge in Florida carries 25 year sentence...with more added due to a minor being involved...AND the judge ruled that the jury will NOT be told that the manslaughter charge virtually carries the same sentence as murder 2...

So can Z's attorneys mention that manslaughter is a 25 year sentence in their closing?

“What is it with the FL judicial system? Are all the judges a bunch of raging leftist buffoons (ala 2000 FL Supremes)? “

This judge was appointed by Jeb Bush. Gives you an indication of what you’ll get in the federal system if the RNC has its way and Jeb wins the presidency in 2016.

No! The last thing the defense wants to do is to cause a mistrial and give the defense a do-over. They would stand a much better chance with an appeal.

...spying on their calls and emails, making them an offer they can't refuse.

Were I a juror, that would only make me dig my heels in harder. Then I'd sing from the rooftops on how the DOJ and the Obama regime tampered with the jury. No way I would be silenced. They'd have to shoot me dead.

There has to be at least one juror down there with some integrity. Yeah, yeah, I know. It is to laugh.

I know. What I heard on the radio was a spot with defense attorney West sounding irritated and bewildered that these things were being thrown in so late in the trial.

And when three or more weeks of a case have been oriented toward specific charges, it seems wrong to allow the introduction of any new charges after the prosecution and defense have rested their cases.

I think only the presiding judge can declare a mistrial. So no.

Or the jury can be deadlocked and end up “hunged Jury”.

Stuff like this can give you a headache.

Since juries can ask for clarifications once they’re considering a case, wonder what this judge would do if they ask what the penalties are for manslaughter? It’s logical they’d want to know the punishment for a lesser offense they were told they could consider.
