The 6th Amendment to the US Constitution reads:
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
Zimmerman was charged with 2nd degree murder. Then after the cases had been presented the prosecution offers up manslaughter and Child Abuse resulting in death (Felony Murder).
The Constitution says the accused has the right to be informed of the "nature and cause of the accusation". How is it that a PA can accuse you of a crime and then after he has presented the case and the defense has responded with it's defense case, charge you with a different crime? That's unconstitutional in my book. Is there a lawyer in the house? Isaac?
