Zimmerman knows he would not live ONE year in prison. If he's not completely acquitted, he's dead. Expect defense to fiercely oppose any lesser charges.
Yes!! I pray they do vigorously oppose but unfortunately, based on what I've seen of this judge, she won't give a flip whether it's legal, fair, customary, or ANYTHING else.... if she has been told to include lesser charges the defense is just wasting their breath How sad for our judicial system to have sunk to this state :(
West argues that the state did not charge him with Manslaughter so it should not be in the instructions —
Judge decides otherwise.
