I'm taking that to mean they want to hold George accountable in some fashion if they can.
The tea leaves tell me they didn't buy self-defense.
..."without any conscious intention".
I'm hung up on that. Maybe they're struggling between negligence or not. If they find he was negligent, they can't convict him of manslaughter (if I'm reading that correctly).
I just read the jury instructions. In a round about way, manslaughter just leaves out the hate, ill will and spite.
