Manslaughter Conviction Could Mean Life in Jail for Zimmerman

Manslaughter Conviction Could Mean Life in Jail for Zimmerman: "Manslaughter, which would normally be a compromise verdict--"Hey, good news! You won"--now is considered life and is life. What's also scary is [the defense is] worried that the jury may not know that this carries life. In fact, you can't tell the jury, 'By the way, don't think you're doing [George Zimmerman] a favor by coming back with a verdict of manslaughter, because he's gonna get life [in prison].'"
