What is up with the 2nd Degree silly nonsense? Perhaps I am wrong ... I wasn't there but my take was he hunted that boy down, ignored law officials orders to back off. Geez, what a joke.

They can not prove beyond a reasonable doubt Zimmerman set out to kill Treyvon with malice aforethought, which is the intent beforehand to kill. In Florida a Grand Jury has to be the one to indite for 1st degree murder. If the jury convicts Zimmerman of this 2nd degree charge he will get life. There is always the possibility the jury may use a lesser charge of manslaughter. I'm just glad he's been arrested and is off the streets and his weapon has finally been confiscated.
