I would vote to convict on charge of negligent homicide


So you would gloss over the evidence, and ignore Zimmerman's right to
self defense. Got it.


The judge tell the jury what they can consider. Charges are usually
pretty narrow. If the evidence makes the case, it is easy to convict.
If it does not, you must acquit even if you think the defendant is
guilty of something. Jurors don't get to figure that out.
