She probably will.

But self defense is also a defense in the case of manslaughter. If any jurors believe George Zimmerman was in fear for his life they would acquit on that charge as well. Going from murder two to manslaughter just gets rid of the prosecution’s requirement to prove a depraved mind.

I doubt it would be much easier in this particular case to convict on the lessor charge.
