I think the prosecutor is ultimately the one who has screwed the case up. She got scared of all the insanity from the black leadership and was afraid of violence erupting.
So she has "over-charged" the case in my opinion. And now if the jury doesn't find him guilty of everything...the black community will be outraged and the bad parts of it will use it as an excuse to riot (and loot and rob every business in the community).
The whole thing is a nightmare. Zimmerman should have stayed in his truck. But I can't honestly say what I would have done in the same situation.
I probably would have gotten out too and confronted Martin. But I'm big enough that most times when I confront folks it doesn't turn into a fight.
Zimmerman was too little (short) to be confronting someone. Which probably led to a pissed off Martin deciding to kick his ass.
So instead of a conversation, it became a fist fight. And GZ brought a gun to a fistfight and we all know what happened.

I could be wrong but even if the prosecuter charges second-degree and doesn't make the case, the jury can still convict on manslaughter.
