The judge all but warned them off manslaughter yesterday. He said that there had been no evidence presented by either side to support a verdict of manslaughter and that the only reason he was telling them they had the option is because he was legally obliged to do so. Hearing the way he said it, if I were on the jury I'd be thinking it was not the way to go. But, I think if they have trouble agreeing then they may go for it.
What's the sentencing likely to be if it was manslaughter, anyone know? And the interference with a corpse charge would still stick right?
