It's still going to make federal hate crime charges harder since he didn't think  "Oooooooh, tonight I'll kill a black kid".

A bit surprised...I'd thought they would've gone for Voluntary Manslaughter.

Thoughts?

They may accept a plea for that but charge high, accept lower?  Badger?  Thoughts?

Spade, would you go for a trial by judge (if that's an option in FL) or a jury, assuming no plea bargain is achieved?

I think the jury would be scared as hell to acquit, but a judge might look strictly at facts, not sentiment or be influenced by fear.

Interesting question (to me).
