Zimmerman/Martin Jury

How much time would he likely serve if its manslaughter?

In Florida the charge of manslaughter could lead to imprisonment up to 30 years. Also in FL there is no mandatory minimum so even if convicted they could give him 1 year and credit for time served.

Edit: I agree with GF (shocker, I know) that it's manslaughter most likely with acquittal a minority possibility.

Wow, with what I have seen and by the letter of the law it is the right choice. Regardless of how you fell about it. Beyond a reasonable doubt...
 
I'm sad beyond words


not surprised, but sad


why did he have to get out of his car in the first place...
what was he thinking?
he got away with something, I'm just not sure what to call it
 
I really don't know too much about this, haven't really been paying attention, but people on twitter and facebook are already starting in with the "they don't care because Trayvon was black".
29 year old black man shoots 17 year old white kid in self defense.
death penalty guaranteed
 
We may never know, but people who are just saying that without backing up anything with evidence are just ignorant.

The evidence for racism in our justice system is there in the conviction rates and harshness of sentences. There is overwhelming statistical evidence for it. The ignorance that is out there is people being unwilling to listen to the evidence that is available.
