Wasn't it Martin that was standing his ground?

As mentioned before? He was accosted by a guy with a gun, fought the attack with the deadly force of his own hands, then was taken down by the even deadlier force of a gun. Zimmerman was the one looking for trouble that sad evening.

        In my opinion the law is broad enough to allow great latitude in it's enforcement - FrankC - 7/17/2013 10:26:52 PM
        
        Does anyone care that "stand your ground" was not part of the defense? - TB - 7/18/2013 12:10:09 AM
        
        You need to look at the instructions to the jury. - alcaray - 7/18/2013 1:29:52 AM

        That which is in the instructions to the jury is a critical part of the trial. - alcaray - 7/18/2013 1:48:09 AM
        
        I left out the importance of the instructions to the jury to the jury. - alcaray - 7/18/2013 2:48:52 AM

        That's how I feel about people who don't care what "stand your ground" is going to do in our courts. - alcaray - 7/17/2013 5:37:41 PM
        
        You are an admirable advocate alcaray - Jody - 7/17/2013 7:03:00 PM
        
        I think I take you at your word. Choose others if you want me to have a different opinion. - alcaray - 7/17/2013 11:49:08 PM

        20-something states have passed these "Make My Day" laws in the last few years. - alcaray - 7/17/2013 11:53:06 PM
