Discuss.

No, this is exactly what probability would predict, no decrease in
entropy. A `violation' would be if you place the tray in the freezer
overnight and the water was boiling when the tray removed in AM.

No - when water freezes heat is moved from low temperature inside the
freezer to higher temperature outside. What does the second law say about
temperature moving from low to high temperature? It's in the equation, not
an analogy on some website.
When you really understand WHY there is no real decrease in entropy here
you'll understand why there is no real decrease in entropy in a living
system either.
