Yes, I agree 100% that he should do time and A LOT of it, although with a lesser charge usually comes earlier possible parole, especially with prison overcrowding. Per the bolded part above, from what I see this will all come down to the self defense argument. IMO the prosecution has not presented a very strong case to disprove his assertion that he killed out of self defense, if the jury believes the self defense argument, he very well could walk.
While it is obvious to most of us here that Zimmerman profiled and killed an innocent teen out of prejudice, none of that matters in a court of law, only what can be proven.
Based on the verdict sheet arguments they prepared today, they discussed quite a few options, hoping that they find at least one 'guilty of'. However you're the expert and trust your balanced prediction, as unfortunate as the outcome may be.
