Manslaughter is not "minor", it carries the same max penalty as murder 2. Life in prison.
Reasonable doubt is the elephant in the room, and cannot be overcome in either charge. As I guy I would have gone back already knowing NG and why are we wasting time. As a woman, my wife and all the women I know would go back knowing he was NG but want to discuss every detail first so no one can tell them they were wrong.
Now, that said, that is the naive me...with the purple lipped prince and this administration, I would have to believe any other finding than NG is the sole result of Holder's hand. And that requires no tin foil at all.
Not life. In Florida the max for manslaughter is 30 years. Judge has discretion to set the penalty for less than 30 years.
As miss piggy won't tell them the included penalties until after they render a verdict.
