How does one "ask for" manslaughter?
As this article will explain, if Z. is convicted of manslaughter in Florida, he will have excellent grounds for appeal.

The manslaughter option is a ruse created either by the judge or her handlers. In Florida, either the subject had reasonable grounds for self-defense or he did not. The prosecution was unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Z. did not have reasonable grounds.
Or, I should say, it adds one more to the list of many valid reasons to appeal.
This case is a political animal, this year's version of the Duke Lacrosse Case. Even a left-wing legal blog is stating that the prosecution case is a disaster.

We also now know that Holder's minions supported the anti-Zimmerman crowd in Florida.
All this is straight from Alinsky's Rulebook For Radicals: Create a crisis and then manage it.
If and when Z is acquitted, we will see the next crisis.
