Is the jury able to find Zimmerman not guilty of 2nd degree murder or manslaughter without saying the shooting was in self defense? Meaning could they just say the state did not prove their case but still leave Zimmerman open to the civil action from the family? Or, do they have to either find him guilty or find him not guilty based on his claim of self defense?

The civil option remains open no matter what the outcome of this trial.
