I heard him say that too. .I guess we’ll hear about that from the state in the morning. Nelson very cleverly manipulated the timing of final arguments also- letting the jury sleep on the state’s final. She was snide about it.

Altho I’ve read every post on every trial day thread, I’ve only been peripherally following the discussions on jury instructions. As I understand it...

We’re not absolutely sure whether Murder 2 includes lesser manslaughter charge in FL. Or if Murder 2 and manslaughter are 2 separate charges...? If M2 and manslaughter are 2 separate charges, then argument can be made to not include manslaughter in jury instructions.

Is that about right? I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
