Wrong. The judge is there as moderator for the proceedings. They ensure the rules are followed. If a jury decides (turns out in Florida a prosecutor and/or a jury can find a verdict on a lesser charge without it being officially charged to begin with....Selkirk looked it up). The entire point of a jury is to render a verdict. If they find something nobody thought up and it survives appeal....that's a precedent setting. From there, it becomes established law as it is used in subsequent decisions.

So this jury could find, based on the fact that Zimmerman was pursuing Mr Martin, that he had no "ground" yet Mr Martin, who was rightfully and peaceably there did and return with a manslaughter conviction.

You're assuming he's not guilty. He killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed young man. The question is entirely the degree of criminality. I do not assume he's not guilty, there's proof of criminality. Zimmerman's own words speak of profiling. Do you think vigilantes deserve to walk whenever they kill?
