-  Five key issues factored into George Zimmerman's acquittal
Saturday in last year's shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon
Martin:  1. The charges filed   "I think the problem was they
overcharged it in the very beginning," said Holly Hughes, a
criminal defense lawyer who was not on Zimmerman's legal team.
Had prosecutors started with the manslaughter charge, the
outcome might have been different, she told CNN.  But Florida
State Attorney Angela Corey said the allegations "fit the bill"
for the second-degree murder charge.  Second-degree murder is
defined as a killing carried out with hatred, ill will or spite,
but is not premeditated. To convict Zimmerman of manslaughter,
jurors would have had to believe he "intentionally committed an
act or acts that caused the death of Trayvon Martin."  Questions
