The legal commentator on the local FL CBS channel said this afternoon that after all the evidence has been presented and one party or the other doesn’t think the case has been made, they can put in a lesser charge for the jury to consider.

Personally, when he was talking about that it made my blood run cold because a lesser charge, i.e., manslaughter, could give GZ many years in jail and might seem a ‘split the difference’ verdict to the jurors who would be inclined to acquit if the only option is Murder2.

They just want Zimmerman to hang for something. This case is a farce brought to you by the libtards and their pet race hustlers.

Self defense, justified use of force, trumps everything.

In order to find Zimmerman guilty of manslaughter, the jury is going to have to conclude, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Zimmerman's use of deadly force was not justified.
