One of the issues that will be discussed this morning is whether the jury will be given the option of lesser charges in their deliberations.

Court is about to start. #GeorgeZimmerman and state prosecutors are in the courtroom.

They should send the jury to deliberate based on the way they charged GZ. Even I must admit it is not fair to add any lesser included charges at the last minute..hail mary passes by the state's not right...

I think the state will take anything and might even throw in Discharging a Firearm in City Limits.

Hi Monkey's,

Remember the news wants you to believe different. 

Judgie has so much patience,IMO.

@JeffWeinerOS #zimmerman already admitted elements one and two. So FL has only to prove element 3 BARD, correct? #trayvonmartin

 Jeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 4m
@Medusausi The defense will argue against elements 2 ("criminal act") & 3.

Nelson OKs swapping out "defendant" for "George Zimmerman." Won't use all caps for names. #ZimmermanTrial #GeorgeZimmerman #TrayvonMartin

 Jeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 1m
Nelson: Not "objectionable" to use #GeorgeZimmerman's name in place of defendant. Wants consistency on caps/no caps. #ZimmermanTrial

 Jeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 2m
Mantei: 1st instruction issue is West wants "defendant" replaced in all instances by #GeorgeZimmerman. #ZimmermanTrial

 Jeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 4m
Court back in session. West says he's talked to #GeorgeZimmerman about proposed intructions "for the most part." #ZimmermanTrial

It appears the the Prosecution is determined that GZ is not going to walk ... one way or another.  Somehow I believe the judiciary will comply.  The arrest of GZ has never been about justice for GZ.  It is all about a PC appeasement of the many within the Black community.  IMO

The Closing arguments set to begin in Zimmerman trial
Published July 11, 2013

Prosecutors are expected to deliver closing arguments this afternoon in the trial of George Zimmerman, after the judge rules on several key issues – including whether the jury can find the Florida neighborhood watch volunteer guilty of manslaughter in the death last year of Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman’s lead attorney, Mark O’Mara, told reporters Wednesday after resting his case that the jury’s only option should be the second-degree murder charge brought by prosecutors. If jurors are unable to convict Zimmerman or murder, then he should be acquitted, O’Mara said, because the shooting on Feb. 26, 2012 was intentional.

“What George did was an intentional act that he knew he was pulling the trigger, the reason why he did it was self defense and that doesn’t suggest the manslaughter charge would be appropriate,” O’Mara said.
