Same. SYG is going to make this hard.

Well, it’s not just that. Because it is a murder charge and not manslaughter the prosecution will have to prove that Zimmerman intended to kill Trayvon.

No, they only have to show that he didn’t care if Martin died. That’s the whole “depraved” bit mentioned upthread. If they thought they could show intent, that’s 1st degree capital murder.
