Involuntary Manslaughter is a lesser included offense to second degree murder. He could me charged with second degree murder and be convicted as involuntary manslaughter as a lesser included.

Unless Z is lynched/killed/life in prison we'll see riots, looting ala rodney king verdicts.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
They will accept a plea to a lesser charge, the strategy of 2nd degree murder is, you bypass the grand jury which might no-bill, and you appease the "justusbots" out there.
If he doesn't plea out they risk acquittal or outright dismissal for lack of evidence. This never sees a jury.
'Is there anything wrong with anything.' Is that what you're asking, friendo?
I'm shocked. They completely forgot to charge him with a "hate" crime.
A nutcase will do nutty things.

Will it be dismissed?
The prosecutors must prove Zimmerman's shooting of Martin was rooted in hatred or ill will and counter his claims that he shot Martin to protect himself while patrolling his gated community in the Orlando suburb of Sanford. Zimmerman's lawyers would only have to prove by a preponderance of evidence — a relatively low legal standard — that he acted in self-defense at a pretrial hearing to prevent the case from going to trial.
There's a "high likelihood it could be dismissed by the judge even before the jury gets to hear the case," Florida defense attorney Richard Hornsby said.

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.AeschylusRead more at http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/qu...zeMUwcpY1Io.99

How many times was Martin shot? How many times did Zimmerman fire?
After reading what has been presented in the various news formats, I side with Zimmerman. If it even goes to court, it will be to delay the riots. They don't want them starting too soon.
When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.
