I thought, as did many others, manslaughter was clearly proven. Given that it was a lesser included charge, it was certainly there for the jurors to consider.

I just don't think it's a very convincing argument for the state to say, "Well, here is my argument for why he should be convicted of second degree murder. Oh, and if you don't believe me, here's this lesser charge that you can convict him of."
