He's in jail, not 1 minute of hearing or 1 item of evidence, so he has already been found guilty summarily. The only question is will a judge or jury at some point in the future months or a year or more from now decide if actually he was not guilty and should have never spent a minute in jail? Regardless, he now loses everything he had.
They can try to break him with solitary, threats of putting him in general population, tell him that his family will be finally be safe if he pleas and that even the President is against him - and that he'll probably get a life sentence.
They can also tell him that even if finally found not guilty, they will just keep him in jail months or a year or two longer while they try him again in federal court for civil rights violations - for which he now is looking probably at 2 to 3 years in prison before a possibility of being twice found not guilty. In short, there is no not guilty - he already has been found guilty. All he can hope to do is get that reduced to 2 or 3 years at best.
With all that ahead of him, at some point they will offer him a plea to manslaughter - giving him time served and only maybe 2 or 3 years longer and then probation, for which he at least gets out of county jail and to a bigger prison where he actually might be able to have visitors, make phone calls and watch TV - and avoiding him getting a life sentence in his President Obama V George Zimmerman trials.
He's already been found guilty. He is already serving his sentence. It is only the question of how much time he serves. That is the only question a juries get to make over the next 2 to 3 years.
Welcome to the new America, where everyone is now presumed guilty and summarily imprisoned, unless months or years later they can get a jury they were wrongly imprisoned and have to be released.
