You’re welcome. I just wanted to provide some links to the official instructions and approved lessers by the FL Supreme Court. There’s been much confusion about it.
In short, the accusatory pleading filed by Angela Corey charged GZ of second degree murder with a depraved mind. However, the jury instructions for that crime must include instructions for category one lesser-included offenses unless the prosecution asks to exclude them.
bet the NAAlCP convention is going to rob their convention hotel of everything not nailed down in retaliation.
If I understand you, that scenario is
5 vote guilty and
1 vote not guilty
From such one does not get acquittal. What am I missing?
Verdict coming today...Per WFTV
Nah, 99% of attorneys give the other 1% a bad name. ;-)
no the prosecution has to ask to INclude and then judge has discretion.
defent always gets it if asked.
that the rules.
The town has to be filling up with conventioneers...A potential catastrophic event.

How do they know that?
I lived between Orlando and Sanford, albeit in the 70s. Back then, no one messed with the Sanford police. I know things are different there now, but things appear tenser right now here in Memphis than they have in a long while.
NAACP convention of race industry lobbyist in Orlando starting...
Me either. People that dumb don't lie well.
(*grins embarrassingly*)
They came back and said no Crump - Family is going to seclude
The expert said be beloved the verdict will be reached today...
Geez....Most of us called that ages ago. But they are the experts.
I agree like this trial - where there should not have been one.
He did mentioned there should have been a grand jury first to see if there is enough evidence to proceed.
Rush doesn’t know, and the experts don’t know.
It’s just that it seems like the more there’s reasons and proof there is of doing something one way, the more likely the opposite people choose the opposite.

Alternates not permitted to deliberate, if problem with juror, both sides agree to go with 5 or mistrial.
