According to US News and World report, Florida does allow for convictions on lesser charges by the jury, even if the prosecution did not specifically charge Zimmerman with that particular crime.

I have my doubts about what charges they would be able to get a guilty verdict on, but it could happen.
If it even makes it to trial.
Maybe you should tell that to fellow Zimmerman supporter GogoVicMorrow.....he just can't seem to understand. Ive pointed it out to him and he just like to say I didn't understand what I was talking about.....maybe you could chat with him and let him know I was right. Its nice to see when you guys can't even agree amongst yourselves.
No, I replied to his reply to your post. I was replying to him.
Originally posted by butcherguy reply to post by GogoVicMorrow Yeah, I got what you were saying. Some jurisdictions actually have to include lesser charges in indictments in order to get a conviction on any of them, I just wanted to make it clear. A lot of the time, it is fairly easy to get a manslaughter conviction with a dead body present in the aftermath, but in this case, I am not sure how you could convince a jury when the guy that was the shooter had trauma to the face and the back of his head, and is claiming self defense. Add to that an eyewitness that saw the decedent beating the shooter.... HA....now you change your tune after someone on your 'side' tell you its the truth......That just proves you only listen when it comes from someone you want to hear it from. Facts be damned to you!!!!!! How embarrassing for you.

What has caused you to be so filled with hate? Is it because of my race?

What you don't seem to understand is that the prosecutor cannot simultaneously make a case for both manslaughter and murder 2 because it creates reasonable doubt. That is what I am explaining to you. So she can't put that in her charges. Yes the jury can convict him of a lesser charge, but it is not included in her charge and she can not argue it. All she can do, if she feels she is not getting her conviction and all is lost, is ask the jury to consider a lesser charge. They will have heard no argument to support the lesser charge.

If you hit the link that I provided for you, it will take you to your post that is proof (in itself) that you did respond to me.
You didn't respond to someone else. You may have meant to, but you quoted my post to you, and responded to it.
What has caused you to be so filled with hate? Is it because of my race?
Lesser-included offense n. in criminal law, a crime which is proved by the same facts as a more serious crime
BTW, pizzanazi, I asked for a reason why you are so full of hate.
You asked me, I answered, and then I ask turned around and asked you and you ignore it. Why is that? Why bring up something irrelevant and try to accuse me of things and then be too afraid to answer the questions yourself. Weak.

Pizzanazi, I am not filled with hate.
I do not know your race, nor do I care to know.
I sincerely hope that you feel better now.
