PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

110. "RE: Indictment: second-degree murde..."
>Sounds about right since his own >actions were reckless
Reckless has a special meaning in this situation, which can sometimes make it difficult for juries to get it right. Normally in law, reckless merely means negligent. But here, it goes way beyond negligent. Basically, it involves taking an action that is certain to end up in serious bodily injury to someone, such as starting a fistfight in a bar. So, to convict George Zimmerman of this charge, you have to prove that he went out looking for someone to seriously injure and was indifferent as to whom it might be.
Mere negligence (what we'd normally refer to as "reckless") is an element of manslaughter, not murder.
Honestly, unless the prosecution has some "mystery evidence" whose existence has never even been hinted at, the chances of convicting Zimmerman of this charge at a fair trial are nil. In all honesty, the judge shouldn't even let it go to trial without such evidence -- although any judge with the courage to stand up to the Trayvon mob probably wouldn't be found in Florida state court.
