I practice criminal as part of my practice and really enjoy it. Around here, the ADAs, at least in my experience are extremely reasonable and charge and prosecute crimes appropriately.

As far as this being a wrongful death case, all they have to prove is a preponderance of the evidence, so kind of like OJ, Zimmerman won't do any time, but he may end up with a big 'ol non-bankruptable punitive judgement hanging around his neck for a good long time.
