“MANSLAUGHTER JURY INSTRUCTION”

Anyone with any smarts knew 2nd degree Murder was gone from the get go. They are looking at the nuances of manslaughter, I'm sticking with hung jury on the manslaughter charge.

How can these women NOT think this was self defense. I think they are talking and thinking too much. This is simple!

A good scenario:

5 of the jury members understand the main elements to convict for manslaughter, which the state has not even come close to meeting unless the facts are being twisted in the jury room. The one hold out for manslaughter needs to be convinced that the other 5 jury members are correct, but wants to hear from authority outside the jury room for clarification.
