Judge: Zimmerman jurors can consider manslaughter charge - CNN.com
Yeah, ive been watching it.

If you think he is guilty of manslaughter or whatever else, then you should think he is guilty of murder..... if you dont think he's guilty of murder, then hes simply not guilty.

I feel the addition of charges is meant to confuse the jury. They should be informed that there's no such a thing as kinda guilty and shouldnt be encouraged to chose a compromise verdict.
