From what I understand - and correct me if I am wrong - there isn't much of a difference between the two in Florida. Manslaughter with "firearm offenses" tied in make the sentences just as long as 2nd degree murder.
Although I might be wrong on that.

I have heard one attorney say that he could get up to 25 years for manslaughter and another say 30 years...but yes it can be almost as bad as a 2nd degree conviction.
If Zimmerman gets convicted of manslaughter I suspect this particular judge will give him the maximum...as she appears to me to be a prosecutor's judge.
