conclusion: they dropped murd2 on some other element. They are not considering self defense

That is not compatible with the evidence. If it had not been self defense, he would be guilty of murder 2. I think it is much more likely that they are going through the charges in order.

I concur. I believe it is possible the jury looked at "depraved mind" for Murder 2, and found it wasn't there. Now they're on Manslaughter.

Phil Keating of FOX is completey full of it. Says the jury clearly are going to convict Zimmerman of manslaughter. No knowledge cold ever lead to this conclusion. The bottom line is that we hope the jury are doing their jobs correctly which means they reviewed murder2, now they’re reviewing manslaughter, then they will review self defense. Then they will issue a verdict.
