I’ve watched bits and pieces of the trial and although I’m not an attorney the case against Zimmerman seems pretty weak. At the end of the day most of the evidence presented were facts that he has already admitted to or the opinions of friends/family of the victim. I’ve seen nothing that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the shooting was not in self defense.

I think the jury can convict him on lesser offenses than murder, but I’m a little unclear of the specifics. However, it does seem if he is found guilty it will most likely be of the lesser charges, but as we all know juries can be unpredictable.
