The judge in the Trayvon Martin 2nd degree murder trial will decide on Thursday whether to allow the jury to convict George Zimmerman of lesser crimes if he is acquitted, People.com reports.
Prosecutors asked the judge to let the all-female jury consider manslaughter and aggravated assault when they begin deliberations on Friday, USA Today reports. But Zimmerman’s attorneys opposed the request.
The request caused some in the legal community to say the prosecution isn’t confident they will win a conviction. “They aren’t going to go all or nothing,” said Jose Baez, the attorney who successfully defended Casey Anthony. Baez added he doesn’t think the prosecutor’s office proved their case of 2nd degree murder.
Zimmerman, 29, did not take the witness stand in his own defense Wednesday.
Defendants in a criminal trial are not required to testify in their own defense because they have the presumption of innocent until proven guilty. But jurors are often suspicious of defendants who refuse to take the witness stand and explain their side of the story.
The defense rested their case on Wednesday. Closing arguments begin on Thursday. Zimmerman faces up to 30 years for manslaughter; and up to five years for aggravated assault.

I watched this case EVERYDAY and I agree..THE PROSECUTION SUCKED! Everything they tried to pin on Zimmerman the defense ate it up. We all know this man is guilty but sadly when it comes to the law, you need evidence to back it up. smh…
Oh I forgot fat
bastid eat shyt & die 
Question: why didn’t they call the wife as a witness?
That Bastard better get something!
Yea they should have ate his wife up and asked about those funds she was lying about with him. Why no charges on that
Finally the prosecution got some sense

Pls allow it judge
Uuuuuhhhh! I just want to torture his fat azz!

I cant get over Michel’le voice, chit irritating as hell

Her voice is going to take some getting used to, but I’m gonna get used to it. I don’t want to judge her for something she can’t control. It has to be difficult enough going through life with that type of affliction.
Rnb LA

and she seems hurt and sad. I will pray for her
Chante: banging body and voice. Like her but I bet she has some dirt either on or about her
Lil No: I believe in esteem of yourself but boo when you compared your levels and ability to Beyonce
Claudette: Pretty girl and voice. Her eyes seemed pained
Dawn: she seems like that black girl who decides to try other things because the normal “Hurt” her and she seems lost
Michelle: yea I know it’s not spelled like that. Her nose is Kin to Latoya Jack. Her voice I can’t. Sounds like Minnie Mouse sucked on a helium Johnson and got pink eye

Wetback? Wow…
very accurate assessment MissTaken!
i saw all that pain in Claudette’s eyes too. always wondered what happened to her & y she didnt blow bc clearly she’s super talented & very beautiful
I really like Claudette Ortiz…beautiful woman….
However the Mr. was vacuuming around the time she explained to dawn what happened with the group….
Te word on the street was she dated both memebers of the group and thats why the group broke up…is that what she stated last night?
Claudette: Pretty girl and voice. Her eyes seemed pained
and she seems hurt and sad. I will pray for her

I caught that too. It looks like she is hurting bad.
I can see him being convicted of manslaughter. I just don’t see a jury giving second-degree with the evidence the jury was presented. Also, this will be going on for the next five years. If he is convicted, there will be an immediate appeal and Chaz will be free again.

PINK EYE!!!!!!!
I’m mad I forgot to watch this. I get stuck on HGTV. I need to set the DVR.
Zimmerman didn’t identify as Hispanic until he killed a black boy. He gone go right back to being white if he get off. Note: No such thing as a White Hispanic. Alabasters use the one-drop rule for yall too.
I think dude is going to walk
and he will have a very hard time living a normal life

Yesterday when she said ” mr Zimmerman will u testify”
West: ma’am I obj
Judge: overruled
Fayla
Jenie
I am so ill from the boy’s birthday dinner last night
Jen
al aint meant much in my book for a long time now
jesse WAY less 
I like this judge tho! I will say that. She won’t playing any games. I have a feeling somebody is going to smack that daughter of West for that lil Instagram stunt she pulled. Like she can’t be touched.

I know Bird and she actually seems cool & down to earth. Lil Mo think she on Bey level
Chante still got it, I loved when she hit her high notes live.
I wonder why M Carey doesnt sing live no more
@Fayla we had Maggiano’s….So.Much.Food.
Then they give you another pasta dish to take home ON TOP OF the chocolate cake that was the size of Kim Kartrashian’s ass (the pregnant one)
I sure hope the judge allow it

Is one less racist then the other…. why is it racist calling a racist hispanic a wetback 
Chante was killing it last night is it called Whistle register
Smonae says:

——————————————————————-
I actually think she is…
I remember her albums from the early 00’s and she really can sing. Lil Mo just choose to ‘keep it real’ and not go the glam marketing route.

What’t the waiting for?
I said it came across as racist, racist for you. Don’t make a difference of who said what first. What I said is what I said.
@Luvn
GZ, takes a long walk off a short pier
I don’t understand why the prosecution insisted on using a 5 year old picture of TM. Didn’t like that it made them look like they had something to ‘hide’.
Coulda/shoulda done better
He mus tbe on the cookie & hamhocks diet!
If Trayvon was trying to harm Pig Slop, then why did he not hit him with the can of Arizona ice tea? Pig Slop was hoping that the can of ice tea was a weapon. I can’t wait until the judge gives him the harshest sentence under our justice system.
