It is now 6:20PM, and the Jury in the Zimmerman Trial is waiting for more instructions on the manslaughter charge. The judge called all necessary participant to the court about a half an hour ago, and advised them that the Jury had sent a note.
The note read:
May we please have clarification on the instructions regarding manslaughter?
An educated guess would be that there is agreement among the jury on the more serious charge of second degree murder and need to know more about the manslaughter charge. If they find Zimmerman guilty of manslaughter, that charge carries a punishment of 30 years on jail.
The Judge has ordered a temporary recess as the Jury’s note is looked at.

I absolutely agree. This country has a long history of injustice for people of color, and tonight just added to that horrid history.
Zimmerman deserves conviction on at least second degree murder. If he is not convicted, there is no justice in this country, for people of color especially.
