I tuned in a bit late. Is the recess so that the Judge can rule on the lesser charges of Manslaughter and Aggravated Assault?

Yes.

State has apparently changed requested lessers: Now manslaughter and felony 3rd degree murder.

10-20-Life applies to Third Degree Felony Murder as well. 25 to Life if convicted of Third Degree Felony Murder.

State is just throwing out whatever they can in hopes of getting some kind of a conviction. I agree with the Defense, it should be all or nothing - either 2nd degree murder or nothing. GZ was charged with 2nd degree murder - NOT manslaughter.
