Manslaughter, or perhaps even something lower than that, is quite a bit better than murder; as it requires no malice on Zimmerman's part. You can rely on his recklessness, stupidity, and negligence to craft the charge. It's clear he has those things, it's a lot harder to prove malice. I think getting around self defense would also be feasible, and is also likely far closer to the truth, with a more nuanced approach. I'd need to check Florida law and definitions, and review the case more to say exactly, but something in that ballpark should be doable.


And I still say prosecution is inept as they spend a lot of time on pointless testimony; I don't like people wasting the court's time.

You are missing the point. Go read the jury instructions in the OP. Self-defense is a complete defense to both murder and manslaughter. In other words, manslaughter is just as vulnerable to being defeated by self-defense as murder is. In this case, there is very strong evidence that Zimmerman acted in self-defense. Because of that, pursuing a manslaughter charge instead of murder won't help the prosecution.


There isn't enough evidence that Zimmerman didn't act in self-defense. It sounds semantic, but it's a big deal since the burden of proof is on the prosecution. But yeah, self-defense counters both murder and manslaughter.

I would rather get Zimmerman to perjure himself since he wants a very noble account of the incident; there is so much public attention. Zimmerman wants to win not only in legal courts, but also in the court of public opinion; making him more likely to fudge his story.

But maybe an actual lawyer like Daph can think of a better strategy for the prosecution.

offer a plea bargain. something with minimum prison time (1-5 years) with possibility of early release based on good behavior. zimmerman would be an idiot to pass, and the prosecutor would be an idiot to let the jury decide this issue after this train wreck. prosecutor will take some heat on such a low charge given the murder 2 charge, but better that than acquittal.

Why would Zimmerman be an idiot to pass on a plea when it seems so likely he won't be convicted?

juries are fickle creatures. who knows what could cause them to convict. maybe West's knock knock joke upset them; maybe zimmerman wasnt emotional enough during trial; and maybe they just think zimmerman is a liar. i have seen slam dunk, even a 2 year old couldnt lose motions lose because a judge said "fuck it." similar issue with jurors.

This is depressingly true -- particularly in civil trials. However, I strongly suspect that the judge would get a swift kick in the ass on appeal if the jury convicts Zimmerman and the judge fails to overturn it.

The autopsy guy is weird. He says a lot that isn't asked. And it's hard for me to understand being a non-native English speaker.

Is it normal for the guy to spell every other word?

He's doing it because he realizes he might not be understood.

That said, he is weird. Very halting speech, very annoying.

they defined intermediate range as something like 0.4 inches to a few feet away, I believe..

(and this prosecutor is still just terrible)

Basically the distance between trayvon's baggy clothes and his chest as they followed up with loose contact on the sweat shirt.

I suspect that when most of the people you work with can't shut you up you tend to lose sense of focused conversation.

And I don't this this guy's speech is annoying.. as an expert witness, it's his duty to carefully choose how to appropriately answer and be completely truthful.. the fact that he has a thick accent further complicates his speaking.

People are saying on twitter that this autopsy guy has proven that Zimmerman was lying. What happens when the defense has their expert take the stand? Will they contradict each other?

I believe it was an error on his his end.

Who are saying that and what are they saying that about? I didn't see this particular testimony so I don't know if there is some truth to this, but Twitter is full of stupid people and people with agendas.

Two things:
1) Trayvon had no injuries to his right hand (he is right handed)
2) He was alive for 1-10 minutes in pain and suffering, but couldn't have spoken, so it was impossible for him to say, "you got me"

What's the deal with this doctor? There's no way that he has never testified as an expert in court before. Experts are supposed to answer hypotheticals.

He's clearly biased. He avoids all the questions that would support the defense by saying he doesn't know, when it was clearly written in the notes.
