They probably could have made manslaughter stick. But I doubt that's even going to happen. The defense has painted a very clear picture of Martin pinning down Zimmerman and basically banging his head into the concrete and beating on the man after Zimmerman had given up on his pursuit and was going back to his truck.
They have made a really clear definition of self defense, I'm starting to think that Zimmerman is going home soon.
While the political consideration of this case is massive, its becoming pretty clear that the Prosecution thought they had a slam dunk and did another terrible job on this case.
