Do you think they are leaning to manslaughter? But didn’t it also require a depraved state of mind? Doesn’t the possibility of self-defense negate manslaughter?
I learned a long time ago not to try to predict juries.
But, I think if they were leaning towards manslaughter, the holdout would be “not-guilty” person....because it’s easier to leap from 2nd degree to manslaughter than it is to leap from “not guilty/self defense” to manslaughter.
Depraved mind is not a part of manslaughter (I don’t THINK, states are different, I’m not as familiar with FL). And yes, self-defense trumps manslaughter... so if they aren’t going with 2nd b/c they think self defense, then they also have to dismiss manslaughter.
If I am wrong I am sure there are at least 5 Freepers who will correct me. or 10. or 20. :0)
