New manslaughter charge improves chances of Zimmerman going to jail: expert
While George Zimmerman’s defense lawyer cried foul when the prosecution asked Judge Debra Nelson to include manslaughter, under Florida law it is mandatory to attach a lesser charge if either side requests it.

Janet Johnson, criminal defense attorney, says the prosecution's move to include the manslaughter charge improves the chances of George Zimmerman going to jail.

The addition of a manslaughter charge improves the chances that George Zimmerman could wind up in jail.
Zimmerman had initially been charged with second-degree murder, a sentence that could land him in prison for life.

And while Zimmerman’s defense lawyer cried foul when the prosecution asked Judge Debra Nelson to include manslaughter, under Florida law it is mandatory to attach a lesser charge if either side requests it.
Normally, the lesser charge option helps the defense. But this time there is the risk of a compromised verdict.

The jury has not been told that the lesser charge could still send Zimmerman to jail for up to 30 years.
Jurors, however, are instructed to work from the top down, starting with the most serious charge.

They deliberate over the greater charge, vote and if they are all not guilty, they move down to the next.
However, if they find Zimmerman acted in self-defense on the second-degree murder charge, that would also apply to the manslaughter charges. So they would have to acquit.
But that’s assuming they’re abiding by logic and the law.

Has anyone seen odds on Zimmerman? 2nd degree murder, manslaughter, acquittal? IMO this is fixed all along, Obama needed to rile his base of Africans last year for the election so he got the DOJ and Sharpton and Jackson all over this... even made his famous comment that if he had a son he would have looked like Trayvon. Now it is a landmark case for Africans being racially profiled, the PEOPLE must see that this is still a very very racist country. It helps Obama's agenda to divide and conquer. Also, side benefit is gun control, if Zimmerman didn't have a gun, he could not have murdered pool lil vulnerable Skiddle eating, tea drinking Trayvon. If George's Dad was Mexican and mom was white, his last name would have been Hispanic, and they would not even have done this... but the last name Zimmerman is enough to paint him as white, the ignorant masses of voters do not even understand what happened here. Fixed. I would bet "manslaughter", BIG.

This case reminds me of the South Park episode where Cartman chucks a rock, and hits Token, a black kid. They charge Cartman with a hate crime.

"There exists a law, not written down anywhere, but inborn in our hearts; a law which comes to us not by training or custom or reading but by derivation and absorption and adoption from nature itself; a law which has come to us not from theory but from practice, not by instruction but by natural intuition. I refer to the law which lays it down that, if our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right. When weapons reduce themselves to silence, the laws no longer expect one to await their pronouncements. For people who decide to wait for these will have to wait for justice too - and meanwhile they must suffer injustice first. Indeed, even the wisdom of the law itself, by a sort of tacit implication, permits self defence."
Marcus Tullius Cicero (/ˈsɪsɨroʊ/; Classical Latin: [markʊs tul.ljʊs ˈkɪkɛroː]; 3 January 106 BC – 7 December 43 BC; sometimes anglicized as Tully[1]) was a Roman philosopher, statesman, lawyer,orator, political theorist, consul and constitutionalist. He came from a wealthy municipal family of the equestrian order, and is widely considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists.

There is a difference between a fist fight, and someone slamming the back of your head in to the cement. How many times do you let someone do that to you before u use your gun?
