In the George Zimmerman trial, GZ was asked by the judge whether he wanted to take the stand in his own defense on Wednesday. As I gather, the prosecutors asked the judge for the inclusion of lesser charges, including manslaughter, sometime after GZ declared that he would not take the stand, and the judge ruled on Thursday that she would allow the jurors to also consider the manslaughter charge.

I couldn't help but wonder the following.
