he will be found guilty on a lesser charge I'm sure....
Florida doesn't recognize voluntary/involuntary manslaughter...it's just manslaughter.
And I find it funny that people are outraged and adamant that it is no more or no less than "x" charge when they know about as much about the discovery as my 3 year old daughter.
The pretentiousness is unreal.
Zimmerman should have been arrested a long time ago, anyway.
I don't know how it works in Florida, but most of the time the jury can convict of any lesser included offense. I would guess that is why he was charged with 2nd degree murder.
That's true in FL, too. He can get off with probation.
WHAM BAM! Where are the naysayers now? All the folks that thought people were overreacting because we wanted to see JUSTICE done, and a thorough investigated completed??? Clearly our interpretation of the basic facts (although incomplete) was in align with the prosecutors. I have NO doubt he will be found guilty! GOODBYE Zimmerman!
Yeah but you know *they* are going to go after the jury members if they acquit him. *They* will not accept anything less than a conviction ... and once he is in prison he will get a shank in his back. So much for justice.
No way Zimmerman can get a fair trial. He will be railroaded even if he is really innocent.
And just who are *they*? Whoever *they* are, *they* will have no choice but to accept the jury's verdict, just like *they* have countless other times.

The special prosecutor is doing this to appease the lynch mobs. I strongly suspect if there was a grand jury involved no charge would have even gone forward, hence the SP not using one.
Unless there's some incredible evidence being witheld, he's going to walk.

I wouldnt clap too fast. If all the facts have been what we heard so far in the media, your not going to find a jury of 12 convinced "without a doubt". I think too they dropped the ball that the trial will be in Sanford. I think people in that town have their mind made up, irregardless of new facts or not after the scrutiny the town has been under. Can we say hung jury
Don't you thik it's a little too early to even have a clue?
Corey pointed out that there are three types of evidence: factual, physical, and testimony (witness). We know very little about the evidence at this point.
You are correct....we havent even heard the evidence and my post was premature however this charge is difficult to prove AND stand your ground comes into play. The burden is on the prosecution.

We have not heard all of the facts in the media. There is a toxicology report, witness accounts, an autopsy, GZ's medical records which have not been released to the media. Oh and the forensic evidence and ballistic report have not either. Of course there are a lot of facts that we still don't know.
