Yes. Although the jury does not actually find you "not guilty" of Murder 2, they just return a guilty verdict on the lesser offense. Manslaughter is a lesser offense than Murder in the 2nd Degree, and a jury could take this option.

You have been charged with a serious offense and you know you are guilty What do you do?

Three choices: (1) You can fight the charge and hope that you will ultimately be found 'not guilty.' (2) You can admit to the offense and plead guilty. (3) You can try to plea bargain (i.e.: 'cop a plea') with the prosecutor by offering to plead guilty to a lesser crime in exchange for a plea of guilty to that lesser offense.

In Maryland going 50 in a 35 how many points do you get on your drivers license?

At 50 in a 30 MPH zone Maryland assess 2 points. On a Guilty with explanation plea some Maryland District Court Judges will grant a Probation Before Judgement (PBJ) if you have a clean driving record or no moving violations typically within the last 3 years. PBJ means that you have not been found "guilty" but you have also not been found "not guilty" of the offense. You still pay a fine but you do not get a record of the conviction. Hence, no points. If you just pay the fine it's automatic points. If you plead "not guilty" and are found guilty the Judge may assess the 2 points, lower it to 1 point or grant a PBJ.
