"apparently in Florida - the Jury will get the option for "Lesser Charges" but they won't be told the possible sentencing guidelines for the lessers - so they may say that he did not commit 2nd degree murder but they may want to punish him for something and convict him of manslaughter without understanding that manslaughter in Florida may well be almost an equivalent sentence."
