Not all juries are smart, maybe they're banking on that. As far as his life being on the line, his life is kinda ruined whether he goes to jail or not, supposedly if he loses, he won't be getting a life sentence as i understand it, maybe 7 years and out in 4 for good behavior? He's still relatively young and still has his whole life ahead of him no matter what happens....but, he's going to have to go out and sort of change his name, get some 'work done' and blend into somewhere far from Florida if he wants to enjoy the rest of his life.
