It's up to the DA at that point, premium Jul 2013 #5

Any charge that there is acquittal on is not retriable gopiscrap Jul 2013 #7

It means the jury can't reach a decision (6-0 for conviction or acquittal in this case) PoliticAverse Jul 2013 #4

Hooray for Pepe! RandiFan1290 Jul 2013 #23

I don't mind being the first (and only) vote for a prediction of second degree murder so far quinnox Jul 2013 #6

There is no way the state has proven 2nd Murder, premium Jul 2013 #8

we shall see, I think the jury may send a strong message quinnox Jul 2013 #9

Possible, premium Jul 2013 #12

I'm also starting to think they have a solid case for 2nd Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #28

I hope you're right. giftedgirl77 Jul 2013 #29

If not hung jury (there will likely be at least one bigot/gun lover on jury), . . . . .manslaughter. Hoyt Jul 2013 #10

So predictable, premium Jul 2013 #13

You are consistent too . . . . . . Hoyt Jul 2013 #19

I agree with you gopiscrap Jul 2013 #22

Uh huh. premium Jul 2013 #25

You got it all wrong Hoyt, as usual, premium Jul 2013 #24

I am retired from the State of Florida. William769 Jul 2013 #16

You're retired from FL Dept of Corrections, if I remember right? premium Jul 2013 #17

Yep thats me. William769 Jul 2013 #39

Well, I'm truly hoping you're right and I'm wrong. premium Jul 2013 #40

yep! libodem Jul 2013 #15

Yeah, I almost voted for that. HappyMe Jul 2013 #18

I didn't vote becaue I'm torn 50/50 between manslaughter and acquittal. Captain Stern Jul 2013 #20

And a very good attempt, premium Jul 2013 #26

Acquittal ermoore Jul 2013 #21

people roll around in fights so what does being on the top at one point prove? Little Star Jul 2013 #27

If you found yourself in a tussle with a hostile person who didn't want to let you get away Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #30

Zimmerman also followed him, and confronted him Motown_Johnny Jul 2013 #36

Manslaughter, but I still have hope for 2nd degree Motown_Johnny Jul 2013 #31

Second-Degree Murder ellisonz Jul 2013 #33
