I pray for a fair and just verdict. My support and thoughts go out to the Zimmerman family and the defense team as we wait.

noun
(law) recklessly acting without reasonable caution and putting another person at risk of injury or death (or failing to do something with the same consequences)
I listened to Sherry what’s her name yesterday, local atty, and she said the instructions were written poorly in that it mentioned negligence but didn’t say DON’T CONVICT on negligence; maybe they’re asking for clarity on that.
I refuse to believe they’ll convict him.
question is “we need help understanding manslaughter”
not necessarily bad, because they can also realize self defense applies to mansluaghter and can still acquit.
wftv lawyer says not always bad to get weird question because even though it might look bad, juries have come back and acquitted
I’m of the view that Zimmerman will be convicted of manslaughter - unjustly, because he was acting in self-defense. That doesn’t change my view of self-defense. See my tagline.
Reports of UFOs also.
The thing I would want to know from the judge as a juror here is: Do I have time to quit my job, sell my house and move to Belize before you disclose my name after I acquit on all charges?
Just go to WFTV.com. For live feed
Yeah, its looking like they will convict him of manslaughter, which is the same as 2nd degree murder..he will die in prison
.
That’s why the state added it. Nice, huh?
Makes me sick.
Judge is smiling.
[She is apparently getting what ‘she’ wanted — a conviction on some charge.]
maybe not, atty on wftv says it does happen they ask a question like this and juries come back with a verdict opposite the way the question they asked seemed to show them going
Ill will, spite or hatred.
HIS HEAD WAS BEING SMASHED ONTO THE CONCRETE!!!!!!
“Hes screwed.”
Could very well be. That or they’ve already settled on Not Guilty and they just want folks thinking they’re agonizing. But yeah, he’s probably screwed.
Don't they have to face the accused in person? Wouldn't George also be whisked away if safety for anyone is a concern. Several hours does make it look like something happens in the meantime. Unless it's to give the verdict to WH/holder first.
Does manslaughter include culpable negligence?
Knew it deep down. Oh well, next.....
“Bummer shows they are considering!”
It only shows at least one is. The others could be trying to convince them otherwise.”
That is what I am thinking. They have already thrown out 2nd degree murder and are hung up on manslaughter. I think one side is trying to convince the other side and the reason for a clarification on manslaughter. Could go either way.
I think they are probably trying to convince one juror.
I was going to say the same about self defense. If they find he acted due to self defense, that would apply to all charges.
