it murder 2 is off the table by self defense, manslaughter must be because it is a lesser charge. the doubt that prevents the larger charge also prevents the lesser charge. because it’s the same doubt.

Reckless disregard for martins life is the standard. I think this will work for the jury.

Logically, you are correct. But a jury of six women, or any jury, is not guaranteed to follow sound reason and logic. Hope I'm wrong, but I predict a guilty verdict on manslaughter. I do think there are fertile ground for a successful appeal found in Judge Nelson's evidence rulings, however.
