Is it possible that the jury could acquit on the murder charge, but find him guilty of manslaughter? I can’t make out what the prosecutor is doing here, but one possibility is to satisfy the race baiters between now and next November, in the expectation that this will take quite a while to resolve.
Or, if the stories we have seen are true, I would hope that Zimmerman would simply be found not guilty. But it will be hard to de-politicize this case, and much depends on what kind of folks they pick for the jury.
What a sorry mess. Black racism is being taken to new highs.
I think it depends on the specifics or the charge and/or state law.But I'm not a lawyer so perhaps a lawyer would want to weigh in on this question.
