You do know that if the count was on manslaughter instead of second degree murder Zimmerman most likely would've gone to jail. A lesser count without testimony just made no sense, it would've been stupid not to let him go. The prosecution made a better case for manslaughter but it was a lesser charge. Even with neglegence with a deadly weapon. This is why the jury had to ask again for the definition of manslaughter before the verdict. I bet the prosecution feels sorry now.

Secondly, based on the cop/ self defense experts testimony, Zimmermans cuts on the back of the head are not subject from someones head being violently bashed on the floor. He would've had to have put up a struggle and his head hit the concrete for sure, which was Mark Omara's second point. 

The moral of the story is....don't get into fights you cannot finish. Let the cops handle the job and one kid would've been going to college now and Zimmerman would've been moving on with his life. 


Your first paragraph contradicts itself and makes no sense. We don't know why the jury asked for clarification because they didn't follow up with it. They also came out with a verdict shortly thereafter. In my opinion they were pretty much set on a Not Guilty verdict at that point. If they were leaning towards manslaughter it would be awfully quick turn around. Especially without getting clarification. Because they didn't follow up that says to me its because they really didn't care since they weren't really considering it.

It's a mighty huge assumption of yours to think trayvon would be in college now considering his girlfriend is 19 and still in high school and he was suspended multiple times, a fighter, and drug user
