I think we all knew from the beginning it wasn't likely to be 2nd degree murder. I thought from the beginning that it was manslaughter. I think someone who knew Florida law said at the beginning that the jury would likely be able to consider lesser charges. I'm not surprised by this at all.
I think the judge said they could consider manslaughter but not 3rd degree murder. Child abuse?

That's not uncommon. I'm 98.69% sure Louisiana allows for the same.

That's probably fair. I haven't followed the trial really, but GZ followed the guy and brought a gun to the party and shot an unarmed teenager. I see an argument for self defense, but he put himself in a bad situation.
It's not murder 2 though.
