Exactly. Trouble will come from Orlando and or South Florida and maybe Tampa. Not expecting any problems from residents of Seminole County.

Is the evidence down here in my pants? I don't know. Could be. What's in my pants? Is it my "Guy Doll"? That's for you to decide. Is George Zimmerman in my pants with the "Guy Doll"? I don't know. Therefore, Guilty.

Yes, in Florida, manslaughter is a category-one lesser included charge for second-degree murder with a depraved mind. See (below) the chart of lesser included offenses and the standard jury instructions provide by the FL Supreme Court.

Category one means that the lesser included crime is necessarily included in the jury instructions unless the Prosecution specifically asks that it be excluded. They did not in this case. The Defense asked that manslaughter be struck from the jury instructions, but the Prosecution argued against striking it.

Category two means that the possible lesser-included crimes may or may not be included depending on the accusatory pleading and the evidence presented. Third degree murder is a possible included lesser for second degree murder with a depraved mind. The prosecution argued for it to be included in the jury instructioms, but the judge decided there was not evidence to support it.

Great pics!!! I wonder if this jury returns as fast as the O.J. jury.

Either way, I’m at home and plan on staying there for awhile.

I honestly don’t think they are or will be embarrassed.

As a side note, I just got a telemarketing call that came in on caller id as Neighborhood Watch. I have had them before but today it seems ironic.

Trayvon was definitely motivated by drugs that night. Seriously, no bro is going to march a couple miles round trip in the rain (already high on pot) just to get a can of juice and a pack of candy for anyone. Trayvon was a drug addict, constantly seeking highs from drank and grass.

One of our local reporters just spoke with the NAACP chairman who said if not guilty is verdict then federal civil rights charges will be brought.

The difference between murder 2 and manslaughter is malicious intent. In essence the same charge.
