It is possible that the jury will become confused, and refuse to convict under the "beyond a reasonable doubt standard," or at least one of the jurors will refuse to convict resulting in a hung jury.

I believe that Zimmerman is morally responsible for Trayvon's death and, if there is a "higher power," will have to answer for what he did eventually.

But it is hard to see how this is all going to play out at trial under the rules of procedure and the evidentiary rules.
