False arrest at a minimum........malicious prosecution seems more fitting.

Florida law defines manslaughter as:
The killing of a human being by the act, procurement, or culpable negligence of another, without lawful justification... and in cases in which such killing shall not be excusable homicide or murder, according to the provisions of this chapter, is manslaughter, a felony of the second degree.
Manslaughter is basically murder without intent, and can be charged in cases where mere negligence is involved, including vehicular manslaughter, which occurs when a drunk driver causes an accident that results in death. Manslaughter includes penalties that can include decades of prison time, but there is no possibility of the death penalty under such a charge.

I don’t know how you get manslaughter from this case. GZ definitely intended to inflict death or serious bodily harm. If he was justified in shooting, because he had a reasonable fear of immediate danger, then he’s not guilty because it’s self defense. If he was not justified in shooting, because he any fear of immediate danger was not reasonable, then he’s guilty of second degree murder. Manslaughter makes no sense at all.
