Murder with a Depraved Mind [View all]

The basis of the Zimmerman charge for Second-Degree Murder?

Murder with a Depraved Mind

Murder with a Depraved Mind occurs when a person is killed,
without any premeditated design, by an act imminently dangerous
to another and evincing a depraved mind showing no regard for human life.

The primary distinction between Premeditated First Degree Murder and
Second Degree Murder with a Depraved Mind is that First Degree Murder
requires a specific and premeditated intent to kill.

I would think manslaughter would be much easier
to prove, this seems risky. I confess to being a non-legal expert
and welcome input from you wonderful people who understand
this stuff.

Following the trial as much as I can... the jury may convict
Zimmerman simply because his lawyers are so boring and
obnoxious...
