re: TM/GZ Trial turn this morning

I think someone who knew Florida law said at the beginning that the jury would likely be able to consider lesser charges

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

I thought from the beginning that it was manslaughter.

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.
