actually, it did have a case..poor prosecution and over charging defendant..this was voluntary manslaughter clear as day.. and of course stupidity of jurors..remember anyone with a drivers can be a juror, anyone.
Skylard, pay attention. Z was charged with murder 2, and I agree that was over charged because he should have been charge with nothing. Included with the murder 2 charge Z was ALSO CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER as a lesser included offense. Z was ACQUITTED OF BOTH CHARGES.

I put those facts in a large type to be sure you don't miss them. You clearly did not watch the trial if you don't know these two simple facts, yet you still offer up an opinion. You're a typical progressive.

The jury was all women. Don't get all misogynistic up in here.

why are you yelling at me?

he was tried on murder 2 end of story..it was prosecutions fault for the over charge..but it was what it was..you can't say M2 and then instruct the jury that proecution would "settle for manslaughter"..you can only try someone on one or the other..they chose wrong.

as for jurors being all women..like i said..anyone gets in with a florida drivers license..have you ever gone to motor vehicle office? when my daughter was 16 we went to FL DMV for her test..i told her took take a good look around, these are the people you must protect yourself FROM..the freakiest people are ALWAYS at DMV and Juror Pool..

You are a moron, end of story.

Maybe one of your proggy friends will tell you the same thing I have told you, and then you can absorb it. Z was acquitted of both M2 and manslaughter. Yes, he was tried on both charges.

1. you are being really rude and i don't understand why
2. you can only be tried on one charge or the other in the state of florida not both concurrently during the same trial over the same person.

Sky, do yourself a favor and stop posting about this particular sub-topic. Seriously, you are being willfully ignorant and it makes you look dumb. Do a google search. Zimmerman was charged with M2 and manslaughter as a "lesser included offense". He was acquitted on both charges. The fact that you are ignorant of the most basic facts and still pretend that you know what you are talking about makes me embarrassed for you.

Here, maybe you will believe the NY Times:

SANFORD, Fla. — George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, igniting a national debate on racial profiling and civil rights, was found not guilty late Saturday night of second-degree murder. He was also acquitted of manslaughter, a lesser charge.

This morning Judge Debra Nelson ruled that the jury in George Zimmerman's trial may consider manslaughter as a lesser included offense in addition to the charge of second-degree murder brought by the state. Florida law defines manslaughter, which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison, as "the killing of a human being by the act, procurement, or culpable negligence of another, without lawful justification." Second-degree murder, which carries a maximum penalty of life in prison.http://reason.com/blog/2013/07/11/jury-in-zimmerman-trial-will-consider-ma

You're really baked and it all makes sense inside your skull, but you just can't explain it to the rest of us? Makes sense.

Peace, Skylar.

I'll bet you are talking about the probable cause affidavit for 2nd degree murder possibly being thrown out by the judge before the trial began.

taking two flashlights and a gun to search for those assholes who always get away is the very definition of self defense.

Michael Dunn was found guilty on four charges, including three for attempted second-degree murder, which could land him behind bars for decades. But they couldn't reach a verdict on the most significant charge: first-degree murder in the death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis.

Guilty

Hard to prove pre-meditated when it was 2 cars in a parking lot for an extremely brief period of time.

Hopefully he gets the maximum for the other convictions.

He's facing a mandatory 60 years on the 4 guilty verdicts. He's 47 years old. 60+47= life sentence....
